Yeah well the US will need countries to attack in 10 to 20 years from now to bring more democracy.

That's unfair, there should be a lot of other children and a few dogs on the Operation Condor side.

Should the USA force them to be democratic? Because that didn't work to well in Afghanistan or Vietnam.

It is kinda valid though, historically the US has not necessarily been supporting the more democratic option as much as the less socialist one.

this is any rich country don't let that be forgotten. From canada to france to china and russia, imperialism or imperial adjacent has been the strategy

The US has never supported democracy outside it's borders - it has never even been very keen on democracy within it's borders.
Also, the US has long ago ceased to be worried about socialism - the biggest threat to it's neocolonialist hegemony is nationalism, not socialism. That's the whole reason it funded fundamentalist, far-right Islamism into being to undermine nationalism in the Arab world (ie, the same reason Israel funded Hamas back in the late 80s).

Everyone who doesn't think the US is a beacon of democracy is a state sponsored bad actor, specially those of countries the US destabilized, bombed or supported dictatorships in
