Because the US is (rolling his eyes) always supportive of democracy, Ronnie Raygun spent is whole Presidency spouting the lies Steve repeats above, and illegally funding the “Contra” terrorists trying to overthrow said elected government, with the proceeds from illegally selling weapons to Iranian terrorists to pay them back for holding the US hostages until after the 1980 election.
