I was feeling an itch to quantify this list and look at the impact of recent elections as well. Here’s the tallies as I found them from the source-
USA- 58 interventions, 3 since 2000
Soviet Union/Russia- 38 interventions, 9 since 2000
China- 20 interventions, 18 since 2000
Saudi Arabia- 4 interventions, 3 since 2000
Iran- 4 interventions, 3 since 2000
Israel- 3 interventions, all post-2000
India- 3 interventions, 2 since 2000
France- 3 interventions, 2 since 2000
There’s a smattering of others with 1-3 interventions but these were the main ones.
The US’ glory days are clearly in the past 😔
I’m happy to see most of the hypocrisy limited to the Cold War. Well, that we know of, at least.
The Vatican City having one was a highlight for me
The Vatican, another theocratic state instantiated by far right extremists. The Vatican as a modern nation state was formalized by Mussolini.
Remember, these are just the ones known publicly. There’s most likely been a lot that aren’t known publicly done by countries other than America
Russian disinformation campaigns are basically everywhere in Western democracies at this point, they’re just hard to measure and to formally pin on the Kremlin directly.
While responsible for more than any other country, they are not listed as responsible for a majority on that page. 57 out of 125.
I think it’s unfair to the hard working people of the Kremlin to exclude any election featuring Geert Wilders, Nigel Farage, or Marine Le Pen from this list.
It’s funny how Israel is routinely interfering in US elections, considering that they’re just a well trained US overseas territory according to folks over at the .ml instances.
The most ethical instance in the world.

Always projection when the US shouts about others doing the same.
I mean, others are doing the same. We know because it makes it harder for us to meddle in foreign elections. And of course Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, they’re going to interfere with our elections as much as they can. President Trump was very good for them, and his voters are easily swayed.
It is a matter of scale, the US does it to grow and maintain hegemonic power and others react in kind.
That makes it sound like you think that its only wrong with the US does it?
It’s like American exceptionalism for people that don’t like America

No but there is a measure of who had caused the most harm for their own good. US #1

Touch grass dude, no one is defending the US here, two things can be true at once.
I always love when someone from a country with a homogenous ethnic and cultural background tries to tell me about how racist the US is.
Hey, maybe stick to .ml. They like to ban conversation and put people in their place. That seems like the home you’re looking for.

On full display for all to see
Lots of strawmanning right here
What’s your opinion on the Romani people?
