I should clarify: I do not think it is “OK”, but neither do I think it is my place to tell others how to run their countries, nor is there anything I can do about it directly. It would certainly affect my decisions about whether I will personally travel to or deal with such a country.
Well, we never tell other countries how to run themselves. They, however, constantly tell us how to run ours. That’s a form of warfare, and it influenced presidents such as TR (to a degree) and Woodrow Wilson (more profoundly, who actually campaigned and won on such a craven slogan as “He kept us out of war”), and of course too many others (particularly FDR, LBJ, Carter, Clinton, the Bushes and Obama).
