Virtually all the prime ministers of Canada have been chosen, manipulated, disciplined, thrown out of office, or told what to do... by the USA - our southern neighbor.
This definitely sucks, but when this is the way the world is being run (by Western oligarchs) then this is the rules other countries must follow if they don't want to be eliminated.
Why would you care about anyone other than Canada and your own personal crusade of anti-western bashing?
The interference-in-smaller-neighbors you mention above is practiced extensively by every Western colonial country. Some of them even consider countries that are thousands of kms away... their back yard to do what they want in.
If you think countries that 'interfere" need to be warred with or sanctioned, I don't disagree with you.
But please apply this to our own allies as well, since these are the countries we can actually influence, and our countries (in Europe and other Western nations) are the most powerful forces for violence for the last few centuries.
