I'm from Germany, and i don't feel like the US is seeing itself as "equal" as to other countries. The US is one of the most militarily aggressive states, just within my lifetime, they invaded Afghanistan, Iraq and had several weird operations in Syria and Libya. "Normal" values would be zero.
I long for the day when US war crimes are treated the same way as war crimes by non-western countries. Instead they pull off shit like the Hague Invasion Act.
- mlindner 5y agoYou can make the argument about Iraq but in the case of Afghanistan the 9/11 attacks were a declaration of war and the US defended itself. 2,996 people died and over 6000 were wounded in the attack that started that war.

- wefarrell 5y agoGermany invaded Afghanistan. In all of the other wars you mention the US acted alongside broad coalitions. If you're going to criticize the US you should also criticize Canada, the UK, Spain, Italy, Australia and Germany.
- blueflow 5y agoThey didn't get persecuted, either. Might be because its the US drones who are bombing marriages, not Spains or Italys.
