> Democracy wont survive in iran until the govt want their oil to be depleted by western war hungry demons
Yet somehow Brazil, Mexico, India and hosts of other non-European-origin-majority resource-rich democracies exist.
That said, maybe the limiting factor on democracy is agency. If a culture blames outside forces for all of its woes, there is nothing it can–within that worldview–do to self improve. So it won't. If, on the other hand, it separates the factors it can control from those it can't (and nobody can control all of the factors, that's just reality), it has a hope.
This is a super-interesting point of view. Thank You!
May I ask what source(s) of information and knowledge have made it possible for you to develop such a very clear conception of the complexities of the technologic, economic, politic, social, and cultural aspects of the question?

Yeah if anything the US is the real victim here, we constantly have to go cleaning up things over there at great expense.
