Most countries will agree so not sure what your gripe is about.

You are living in a bubble. Whether by racism or political calculus, US authorities do not seem to respect lives of citizens of third world nations. US has kidnapped random people around the world to keep them in jail idefinately with no court or trial. It has killed thousands of people in drone strikes, in violation of international law, airspace and territorial sovereignty. Add to that some invasions, and maybe you will start to realise why people in Russia/India/Vietnam/etc. do not trust US any more than they do anyone else when it comes to upholding international law. As a Britton/German/Canadian you don't have to worry about these things. Additionally, if you consider territorial ambitions, various land disputes of old world nations are usually historical. As in "we will reverse some kind of injustice and get back some lands that belonged to our ancestors". That doesn't justify them, but one benefit of this is that they are predictable - China is not going to wake up one day to invade Somalia, but with USA you never know.

    Are you aware of anyone else bombing random random weddings and civilians in peacetime? Maybe i am missing something. Consider normal countries like India, lets not bring tinpot dictatorships and bana republics into this, unless thats your benchmark.
