various assassinations, the brink of nuclear apocalypse, an unpopular political war away from home that caused a social movement, and political espionage.

It's like we're cursed.

So if you notice that we bombed Iran this week, you must find it the most important bombing? I truly don't get how some people's hobby is to shit on the US

    Because the time the world has existed includes times other than this week. And other countries.

    So... your point is that we are the only country of concern "because we have never been the good guy"?

    My point was NEVER "we are the only country of concern." That was a cheap MAGAt-style straw man argument. That makes him a liar. He's welcome to try again.

    except you said "why wouldn't it be" referring to me saying "why would it be". so great job calling me a liar and all, but all that actually happened was you misunderstood then got mad about it

    Okay then, to answer your question: because all US policy has been built on slavery and genocide and theocratic authoritarianism for centuries, and has been trying to control the rest of the planet through forced hegemony since 1945 while trying to eliminate all the curbs on aforementioned abuses since 1980 (and arguably 1973, when Biden took office to join in the fascist backlash). Also. The whole world decided that an expansionist Russia and a fascist Germany were a bad thing but the US is desperately trying to reverse this. So yes, the US should be shat upon relentlessly and with extreme prejudice. Re-read Protist's original statement again.
