Explanation
★Both statements are true, but the reason does not correctly explain the assertion.
★The United States often presented itself as a champion of democracy abroad.
★During the Cold War it backed many democratic governments against communism.
★Yet it also supported friendly military and authoritarian regimes when it suited its interests.
★This shows a gap between its democratic rhetoric and its strategic conduct.
★So both are true while the reason does not explain the assertion.
