    I think the US has been significantly worse than Russia over the last century if not more. They've been in various capacities in Vietnam, Korea, Phillipines, Panama, Cuba, and those are just the ones off the top of my head. Read about their colonial, commercial and other wars as well as their regime change ops that has brought countless right-wing dictators around the world, that have killed shit ton of people.

    The U.S. is the global hegemonic imperialist power, but that doesn't mean that Russia can do no wrong.

    Yeah that's what people are saying, they're saying Russia can do not wrong. You guys always have to make these weird strawman because when you make an actual comparison of what each country has done and why, your "both sides" argument crumbles like a cheap cookie.

    Weird moment to do a both-sides. Guess the US imperialist propaganda doesn't allow you to think anything could be worse than Russia. Especially not the US empire itself.

    Youve got it backwards. Very recently russias been trying to catch up on atrocities, get back in shape, fit into that old ockrana uniform.

    But other than tgat america outdid them by orders of magnitude, and this calendqr year started defending its orphan bone crown pretty hard.

    an effort dubbed “Operation Total Extermination.”

    Thats the kind of name the evil government in the corny dystopian scifi movies gives to shit.

    "I think I can do anything I want with it"

    don't those just sound like the words of someone who has raped people?

    Trump said last week.

    Well, the news attributed the words to a notorious child-raper and adjudicated sexual assaulter, so I'd say this is fairly conclusive.

    Yeah but for some reason a lot of people need more proof... I like to point out when the rapey bile oozes out of it.

    Operation Total Extermination? That name seems to strongly imply civilian casualties are a total non-consideration and may in fact be "bonus points."

    Nobody's gonna be surprised when "Operation Final Solution" drops, are they? These absolute evil morons birthed straight out of the devil's ass keep finding new lows for humanity until we stop them.

    It looks like nobody is stepping up. Operation Hitler Did Nothing Wrong is going well.

    It took a while for countries to step in in WWII. It may well be a bit longer for them to step in this time.

    The embarrassing failure in Iran notwithstanding, the American military is unequaled. There is no other country, or probably even combination of countries, that could project enough force against it to invade and "liberate" the US mainland.

    Nobody is coming to save us. If we want to defeat fascism, we have absolutely no choice but to do it ourselves.

    If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.

    Sounds like Trump is just trying to make sure Lincoln's portent comes to pass.

    "Extermination"

    Oh sure, we're just openly using Nazi terminology now, but don't you dare equate us with Nazis!
