No these countries do not conduct terrorist activities or war crimes on foreign soil like the US does. Generally the first who come to mind are the ones who treat the whole world badly, in addition to their own people.
- pjc50 5y agoSeveral of those are in the middle of actual wars.
- radmuzom 5y agoYou might have missed "on foreign soil like the US does". And few of them are just attempts by US or parts of Europe to destabilize the country for their own gain.
- sharikone 5y agoIran? Last I checked they were trying to destabilize Syria, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen. Syria? Lebanon comes to mind again Russia, Armenia, Azerbaijan? All of them are involved in "foreign soil" in some way Egypt and Turkey vis-a-vis Libya (and Cyprus)? Serbia/Albania vis-a-vis Kosovo Morocco (Mali, Western Sahara)? All of them are better than the US? Not to mention that the behavior of a country "on foreign soil" is often very different than its behavior with its own citizens. That's why this division of good/evil countries often does not make sense.
- trasz 5y agoI think the point here is that US always wages wars far away from their land, so they don’t have to worry about consequences or casualties. For most other countries war is something quite different from the usual business.
- hnbad 5y agoSyria is in a civil war, with Russia and Iran assisting the Assad government and various other nations including the US having intervened at various points. South Sudan's civil war ended last year. Venezuela is not at war but is being embargoed by the US while facing an economic crisis. I have no idea what Honduras is supposed to be doing except that it's overrun with crime. Belarus is facing civil unrests and political upheaval. I'm not sure what you're referring to with your claim of "several" of them being in the middle of "actual wars". The US is in the middle of several actual wars and military actions outside war in foreign territories (mostly drone strikes). The comment you responded to clearly stated: > No these countries do not conduct terrorist activities or war crimes on foreign soil like the US does. The US does both of these things. As do several of its allies. We just tend to not to think of these things this way because we're "the good guys". Let's not forget Guantanamo (which despite Obama's promises still exists) and that US prisons routinely use "solitary confinement" which is considered torture by the UN.

- spoonjim 5y agoOh, I see, you thought of the US as the mistreater of people in foreign countries rather than domestically? That I can agree with — someone being mistreated in their country is very unlikely to be in the US (except for a very expansive definition of mistreated) but quite likely to be in a country where the US is harming people.
