@DonnyDingleberg@BoxLoner@uninformedlefty@hasanthehun Current UK did not form the U.S. the UK of the early 1600s formed the U.S., and yes they were worse than the 1780s US. Because they were the world hegemon that set the standard of violence. We are that world hegemon now
@DonnyDingleberg@BoxLoner@uninformedlefty@hasanthehun I don’t think it’s unfair to include our actions in Nam Laos Cambodia and Korea plus SouthAm if we want to compare total violent output. Furthermore AQ in some ways could be said to be a part of our violent output as their violent extremism was borne in conditions we set
@DonnyDingleberg@BoxLoner@uninformedlefty@hasanthehun Ok let’s do it. US support base for their military since 1960: ~50~60% of ~300M ��� 170M with ~2 million killed. AQ support base of ~10M with 70K killed. That’s roughly 1 civilian kill per 85 supporters for the U.S., and 1 civilian kill per 143 AQ supporters.
@BoxLoner@uninformedlefty@hasanthehun China: 1.4 billion pop with ~60k civilians killed since 1950 in mil-ops. Israel: ~10mil pop with ~60k civilians killed since Oct 7. So pound for pound, israel has killed more.
@ammarmufasa@harrisonjaime He’s not wrong tho. Think of how many people we killed in Nam with Agent orange and napalm and the indiscriminate bombing in Cambodia. That’s not even taking into account our crimes in the Middle East like Abu Graib. We’ve killed millions.
@BasketCasePA Actually he shouldn’t have even worked behind the scenes because that would still leave him and AES open to attack. And as we all know we should never say or do anything that would get us attacked by our opponents.
