    Venezuela is missing.

    Also, If you count conflicts that the US either started or keep inflamed as either proxy wars or just to serve capitalist imperialism, the list is much longer. Palestine, Sudan, India/Pakistan (Kashmir), Myanmar, Russia/Ukraine and Congo come to mind immediately.

    Also, how about economic warfare? Have to put Cuba and North Korea and every other country the US sanctions on there. After all, US sanctions have killed 38 million people in the last 50 years.

      What a spectacularly wrong comment. Literally everything is wrong.

      Venezuela is on the list.

      None of those examples are about capitalism or imperialism. And Pakistan is on list.

      Sanctions numbers pulled out of ass.

      The US does enough evil and/or dumb shit that we don’t need to make up shit to criticize them.

        You’re right, I did miss Venezuela/Pakistan on there. Everything else is correct and can be backed by evidence though.

        These are all about imperialism and capitalism. It is the entire reason the US gets involved in any conflict. Here’s an example of how the US funds the Sudan genocide through arms sales to the UAE: https://www.commondreams.org/news/sudan-atrocities-us-support-uae Why does it do this? Because Sudan used to have a strong communist movement and capitalism is threatened by communism. You can find similar threads leading back to the US for every other country I mentioned.

        My numbers for death by US sanctions were literally pulled from a study published by the Lancet, not my ass: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/langlo/article/PIIS2214-109X(25)00189-5/fulltext

        Unfortunately the US is way more evil than most people think.

          Did you even read your source? It does not claim any of that. And the rest is just your opinion, which is even less serious, given that even source info is wrong.

          I’ll repeat: there’s plenty of good reasons to criticize the US, no need to make shit up. Read the source for a few good ones.
