The US has had the goal of spreading democracy and freedom.

While that is very good, and it is the best way for people to live, I don't see the US trying to prop up and help countries that regularly limit freedom, and if we do assist those countries, it is usually under the assumption of changing them (see: cuba).

We are readily screwing over russia right now with sanctions.
