Freedom House doesn’t label places as “dictatorships.” So this is suspect right off the bat. They use a “freedom index.”
No doubt the figure from 2015 includes significant support and training to Afghanistan, labeled with a score of 6 out of 100. Does that count as supporting a dictatorship? No.
If we sell weapons to the Saudis to fight Iranian creep, is that supporting dictatorship? Maybe a little. No question of Iran and Saudi, Iran is a much less free and much worse dictatorship. Sometimes that’s just how progress looks.
This “fact check” is at best highly misleading, bordering on false.

Iran is fighting Israel. They are the best country in the Middle East.
Fun to see Democrats simping for Saudi to placate Israel now.
What a simplistic worldview
It’s called a “lesser evil”. Are you not a huge fan of it?
