“Democratic” is a relative term.

The founders argument is misleading, though I find no fault in the rest of your sentiment. Still, the perfect is the enemy of the good. If they issue Eurobonds I’m buying them whether it’s going to deepen liberalist hold over the west or not, and the one thing I think we can count on is that they won’t sell to Russia or the United States.
