"The US is only against them due to a perceived threat to global US hegemony. For instance, you forgot to list Saudi Arabia there, and they are one of our allies." -- The US eventually wants democracy globally. Support of countries like SA etc are just stepping stones and temporary accepting. "The US govt has been the largest exporter of misery and destruction the last 80 years. So yeah, you can lump them altogether. And yes, the US would happily use AI to exterminate 500k communists, 1 million Iraqis, or 1 million Vietnamese again." -- This trite talking point is overused and mostly wrong. Since the US took partial hegemony in 1950s and complete hegemony in 1990s... things have improved greatly for the world as a whole. Despite many mistakes by the US, it is still pretty good. Do you think the alternatives of Nzi Germany (self-explanatory), USSR (millions killed by Stalin), or the CCP (millions dead, famines etc) would be better? When has the US gov specifically targeted non-combatants for extermination? I do not believe that ever happened. Collateral damage due to military operations is terrible, but it's not willingly done. So basically your answer is complete hyperbole, as well as mostly wrong.
