The American president made violent threats to a woman he had an affair with. He suggested people beat up protesters at his rallies. He frequently attacks the free press, judicial system, law enforcement and minority religious and ethnic groups.

And that's just the president. What about US incarceration rates, use of the death penalty and racial bias in law enforcement? Or the frequent, devastating use of military force on populations all over the planet.

I'm not equivocating, just stating some facts that may offer perspective on your suggestion that we diminish the living standards of 1.3 billion people because their government is terrible in different ways than our own.
