According to Freedom House's rating system of political rights around the world, there were 49 nations in the world, as of 2015, that can be fairly categorized as "dictatorships." As of fiscal year 2015, the last year for which we have publicly available data, the federal government of the United States had been providing military assistance to 36 of them, courtesy of your tax dollars. The United States currently supports over 73 percent of the world's dictatorships!

And that's just the ones we know about. I suspect that "black" funds and other off-the-books sources may support even MORE dictatorships and drug/weapons cartels.
We are not a decent country anymore. Not by a long shot.
