    Do the guy also love US terrorism and foreign interference? Because that’s what people probably take most offence with. There is not a single additional nation on this planet that has couped to many democratically elected governments and replaced them with corrupt authoritarians that are more than willing to oppress and torture their people and cause civil wars and sell out their nation’s interest to US interests in exchange for power. The US is sole world leader in evil and hase been for over a hundred years, only briefly eclipsed by individuals like Stalin, Mao, Hitler, Kissinger.

    Because as someone who is “deeply critical” of US his government and military, he really seems like jeans and jack o’lanterns have any weight when people call the globally most hated nation on earth a barbaric terrorist shithole.

    And let’s not even start counting warcrimes or threats of acts of war towards their “allies”.

    Fun fact: ask people to name three governments the US has couped. See what happens. Just three.

      What do you suggest we Americans do? I can vouch for the fact that spending my entire life feeling ashamed of my country has not helped to make it better, despite doing my best to be an outspoken critic of American policy… so I’m hoping you can provide a suggestion for a viable path to redemption.

        Protest. Create awareness. Because, you now, unlike the Chinese or Russians, Americans have the freedom to do so without getting vanished in re-education camps and gulags.

          Unless you were protesting against the murder of George Floyd, then you could indeed be picked up by unmarked vans with unmarked heavily armed guys inside.

          If protests worked in the US we wouldn’t have had a second war with Iraq.

        Fair enough, China and Russia managed to compete with the US in the last couple of years. Enjoy.

          Yeaaah failed petrostate that can’t even hold its own territory in a full scale invasion of a far smaller neighboring country is competing with the US. Good luck with that one!
