US is a symbol of double standard and double speak. Every policy needs senate's discussion and then approval. The same thing applies to other democracies too.
Giving a term doesn't make someone owner of that thing. It exists in some other form throughout the world. Centuries old Indian panchayat is example of that.
PS: For your information I am not against the deal. But I don't accept bossism, blackmail or goonism either.
