To be fair, over the past 70 years the US have actually installed and sided with quite a few autocratic strongmen around the world, just not so openly.

What are they even talking’ about?
Reminder

“Justice Sonia Sotomayor, minutes into the arguments, raised the question of whether criminal immunity would extend to a president ordering the military, or someone else, to assassinate a political rival if they believed this person was "corrupt" 1/3
