From 1945 to 2001, among the 248 armed conflicts that occurred in 153 regions of the world, 201, or 81 percent, were initiated by the U.S. Why is the country so obsessed with military action? Scholars from the University of New Mexico say since 1898, U.S. presidents have consistently combined military action with democracy promotion despite apparent contradictions. 
In an original feature series launched on Thursday, CGTN takes a hard look at how democracy is slowly eroding in the U.S. and how it may spread throughout the world if not stopped. Join us for "U.S. Democracy: A Reality Check."
