    Fun fact: It’s actually possible for two countries to both be authoritarian!

      The US killed a million innocent people in Iraq just a few years ago, and is *currently * drone bombing several countries in ME and north africa, and is currently supporting the apartheid state of israel with billions of dollars in military aid.

      The PRC has not been in a war since its skirmish with Vietnam in 1979.

      The US has a network of > 800 military bases across the globe, and has been involved in regime change in nearly every country.

      Which one is authoritarian?

        Look up the definition of authoritarianism. Bombing other countries is not the defining feature of an authoritarian government.

          You might be interested in a book by Lenin titled: “Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism”.

            That’s cool and all but still irrelevant to the original point. You can be authoritarian to your own citizens domestically without invading other nations.

            The US is both imperialist and authoritarian.

            Ya and that’s why they don’t let tourists into Tibet without a guide.

            Next you’re going to tell me Putin isn’t the aggressor.
