Peterson: US Chooses Pakistan's Usefulness Over Democracy

Imagine the U.S. is deciding who to be friends with.

One country, Pakistan, has been helpful in the past.

They let the U.S. use their land for important things, even though they haven't always been fair to their own people.

Another country, India, is very fair and democratic, but the U.S. isn't as close with them.

A Canadian psychologist explains that the U.S. picks friends based on who is most useful, not necessarily who is the 'good guy.'

Pakistan is supported because it gives the U.S. a strategic advantage, even though India is a better democracy.

The expert points out the U.S. is focused on what will bring them the best outcomes.
