'West spreads its democracy like coffee in bags, but people need to make own choice’ - Gorbachev

Pretty impressive statements here from Gorbachev (yes, THAT Gorbachev). He's right on all counts.

“At the time, I told the Americans: you are trying to impose your democracy on the people of different countries, spreading it around like coffee in bags, but we must give the people a chance to make their own choice. But they continued and continue to pursue this foreign policy. Even President Obama, democratically elected and enjoying in this regard a significant authority in the country, could not change this course – the course on imposing one-legged solutions. However, I doubt that he wanted to,” Gorbachev said.
