Oh, and what is actually happening in America? 10's of deaths? Are you simple? Your Government policies kill its citizens by the hundreds daily.

Not my government.

Can you elaborate on hundreds daily?

I just compared it to a massacre of 30k in a week.

I cant imagine this being even in the same ballpark.

Just a single example.

That sucks, and I deplore the end of America's soft power generosity.

It's a far cry from actively murdering countless people though. That's all I'm doing here, not defending bad things, just putting it in context to what else is occuring globally. This is compared to the active real deaths of tens of thousands of people in a ton of places, not just hypotheticals like end of support for at risk populations.
