dic·ta·tor
ˈdikˌtādər
noun
- a ruler with total power over a country, typically one who has obtained power by force.
Question: if the ruler is not an individual, but another country, could that country be a “dictator”.
For example, the United States invaded Iraq to remove their “dictator” but is now the “dictator” by definition. A dictator does not necessarily do the dirty work himself, but has his henchmen do it for him. When the United States places a person in charge of that country and they go outside of what they U.S. wants they dictate to them that it will be done “our way” or else. For that matter you can call the U.S.A. The dictator or the world. Those who go against its will are embargoed, trade restricted, demonetized, and invaded if necessary.
I may be extreme, but I’m just going by definitions.
