The US has killed millions of people in the last 15 years alone in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Yemen and a dozen other countries that we have bombed or invaded (including the 8 we are bombing right now). I'm under no illusions about the many despicable things done by the Russians and the Chinese, but its simply absurd to contend that their behavior has any worse than the United States. We have more of our citizens locked in cages than Russia and China combined. We have toppled more governments and invaded more countries than Russia and China combined by a factor of 10 (or more) since the end of World War II. Its astounding how willfully blind people can be when it comes to their own government. We can't become the good guys until people wake up and acknowledge that there haven't been any good guys.

> We have toppled more governments and invaded more countries than Russia and China combined by a factor of 10 (or more) Russia/Soviet Union is roughly on par with the US on the invasion/occupation/regime change count -- of course they did it mostly in eastern Europe, the Caucasus and the MENA region rather than in Latin America.

The US has not killed millions of people in the last 15 years that is just a blatantly false statement. A quick search on Google or Wikipedia will refute your claim instantly. Can you provide a decent source for your millions of casualties claim or for you claim about the US toppling more Governments than Russia/China? I bet you can’t. Judging by your username I believe you know some things about history. Why spread false info?

  Washington DC-based Physicians for Social Responsibility (PRS) released a landmark study concluding that the death toll from 10 years of the “War on Terror” since the 9/11 attacks is at least 1.3 million, and could be as high as 2 million. https://www.psr.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/body-count.pdf https://www.psr.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/body-count.pd... It's not that hard to believe surely? There have been plenty of other reports showing similar numbers.
