The US is good-er. There are bad people in the US of course, but this will always be the case and can’t be a reason we restrict ourselves from increasing the good in the world. This argument boils down to “there are bad things and bad people even among us, so we have no moral standing to prevent any more evil”. Again, no. That fatalistic attitude doesn’t help anyone and is just a suicide pact. We have a responsibility to expand the good in the world. That includes domestically with rooting out our evil, but also includes keeping China out.
