Both are bad, neither is worse than the US.

Just going by invasions and regime changes alone the US takes the cake. That’s before you get into the spreading crack into black communities, chemical weapons on civilians, drone strikes on children, ecological destruction, genocide enabling, etc etc.

    i hate defending the US because it has had more direct bad impact on my life but by measure of lost life i’d still argue modern Russia is worse, and if we lump current China to not even that long ago China the numbers killed are not even close

    the scale of China’s population just blows it all out of proportion

    Nazi Germany wasn’t even the worst genocide of its time (what a putrid statement though true)

    Idk what lost life you're counting, because it's pretty well known that civilian casualties in just the Iraq war most likely dwarf Ukrainian losses.

    Oh indeed thanks for telling me that I need to google your vague and in no way clarified idea of what Russia is doing, when I can read goddamn Russian language itself and have been reading independent Russian-language opposition media covering Russian reality for ages, and know a whole lot more about it than you do.

    By numbers US is probably worse but the level of cruelty from Russia is unmatched outside of terrorist organizations

    Would it really be tho?

    Like the US targets children and social gatherings to attack, tortures/rapes/murders innocent civilians in black sites, keeps a racial based underclass who they hook on drugs, violently assault from childhood, and lock up in record numbers to serve as legal slave labour. That’s pretty fucking cruel stuff.

    Also invades small countries on whim, votes against the well-being of humankind, meddle in other countries' affairs, has been in war for more than 90% of it's existence, never held itself accountable, experiments on its own citizens, and is ruled by a cabal of paedophiles.
