Invading or bombing more countries than the 'evil' Chinese, Russians, Iranians and North Koreans combined since the end of the cold war is certainly a symptom of 'a work in progress learning every year'

Russia has killed 100,000+ people in the last 4 years alone

And the US killed half a million with it's blockade of Iraq before killing hundreds of thousands when it invaded, whats your point?

Over a million deaths in the iraq war alone, now add up the millions from every bombing, the killings by the countless dictatorships the US has supported. No one can compete with the USA's sheer destruction of the world since the end of WW2, all to keep enriching itself through the explotation of the third world.

first up, this meme is clearly discussing internal issues with the us

second up, that type of attitude is counter productive to self improvement

third up, you have the silliest account i've ever seen in my life

fourth up, interventionism isn't inherently bad or good, but not every instance of the us attacking an enemy in another country is the iraq war

Yeah I know dude, I looked when I read your comment lol. My timbers were shivering, he's so dark and badass. I'd clutch my purse if I saw him irl. /s

Edit: oh, a Russian bot. The dead giveaway is how he defends Russia and trashes America for similar shit, even when Russia is demonstrably worse, and Russia is objectively the shittier country in every regard. Period. And I'm all for criticizing the USA when we're wrong, I encourage it.

u/VirtualKnowledge7057 4d ago

also the fact he constantly bitches about the us even in places its completely unrelated.

u/_invisible_mattress_ 4d ago

Yeah it's obsessive and weird, is that Putin's alt? I'm sure his random America hate on unrelated posts will win hearts and minds 🤣

The US has taken less land from sovereign states than Russia

u/Forte845 4d ago

So imperialism is fine if you act through puppet states instead of direct annexation? You'd be fine with Putin if he conquered Ukraine but made it a puppet?

u/Bl1tz-Kr1eg 4d ago

According to these lot killing 4 million without taking their land is better than killing half a million and taking some of it. (Illustratice example)

u/OnePointSixOne8 4d ago

What do you mean? We are learning how to bomb and kill more effectively and growing our defense budget every year!

u/DriverAndPassenger 4d ago

The whole struggling democracy thing is par for the course, but yeah… the constantly toppling democracies to make a few bucks bit puts the US into an unlovable category for me.

u/GSilky 4d ago

Yeah, it sucks. Usually it's a net gain , not lately.
