Pushing for more democratic governments in states like Russia and China might also decrease the chances of nuclear war, etc.
How sure are you?
Acts of military aggression by the PRC since 1949: About 5.
Acts of military aggression by the USSR/Russia in the same period: About 5
Acts of military aggression by the USA in the same period: About 7
(I’ve tried to be upwardly biased on numbers for all three, since it’s obviously hard to decide who the aggressors in a conflict are)
Wars that the PRC have participated in that were not part of domestic territorial disputes since 1949: 2
Likewise for Russia: 5
Likewise for the USA: 17
(for the USA and USSR figures I’m counting all of the Cold War as one conflict, and likewise all of the War on Terror)

Edit: What happened to my formatting? I’ve had this problem before but I’ve never been able to fix it.
Good point. I think ideally your sample size would be larger, I’m not sure the US is representative of democratic countries.
Re: formatting. Try putting a blank line between bullets.
Tried, doesn’t work. Anyone got any ideas?
You also need to put a space between the asterisk and the start of your sentence. Ex.:
* These
* Will
* Be
* Bullet
* Points
These
Will
Be
Bullet
Points
Thank you!
