TIL The United States was responsible for the majority of documented electoral interventions
List of foreign electoral interventions - Wikipedia
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
This list is very incomplete. I'm noticing American coups in at least Pakistan with Imran Khan and 2020 Venezuela are missing. Also Afghanistan doesn't exist on that list?
Cool, you should add those in and find some sources. It's Wikipedia
There was no coup in Venezuela in 2020.
Operation Gideon (Spanish: Operación Gedeón) was an unsuccessful attempt by the Active Coalition of the Venezuelan International Reserve, Venezuelan dissidents, and a private security firm, Jordan Goudreau's Silvercorp USA, to infiltrate Venezuela by sea and remove Nicolás Maduro from power.
The US administration of Donald Trump pressured for the exit of Maduro,[18] charged him with narcoterrorism, and put a US$15 million reward for information leading to his capture and arrest. [19][20] Yet throughout 2019, the Maduro administration maintained control of Venezuela's military agencies and key governmental institutions.[21] Maduro enjoyed the support of the higher ranks of the military, but less so among the middle and lower ranks.[14][15]
While responsible for more than any other country, they are not listed as responsible for a majority on that page. 57 out of 125.
Our greatest export: PODTOP
Peaceful Orderly Democratic Transition of Power
God bless America
OR ELSE
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.
Feel free to add it to the list. It's Wikipedia.
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.
Liberal tries to strawman. ml but fails horribly.
The location of the period leaves me with no clue what you're sayjng
Also also USA is the country who's elections are most intervened in - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Listofforeignelectoralinterventions#UnitedStates
No interventions in any of China's elections for some reason.
Sorry, op. I'm locking this post because the discussions are getting out of hand.
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.
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 US switched to sanctions and is now sanctioning like 30% of the world. For instance, afaik, the trump sanctions on venezuela started the current uptick of venezuelan refugees
Kids these days don't even know how to rig an election. What are they even teaching in schools.
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.
This feels like an undercount.
This feels like an enormous undercount.
aww France why
They’re not the greatest to their former colonies. Gave Russia the opening in West Africa imo
