John, I get your point. You believe the US is superior, and the people killed in our resource grabs and regime changes don't matter. Muslims don't matter to you when the US commits genocide in the Middle East (over a million dead). The 21st-century war crimes and human rights violations in Libya, Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Nicaragua, Honduras, Yemen, Palestine, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, Bolivia, etc. don't count when the US commits them.

It's acceptable for the US to censor, imprison, and silence human rights lawyers and the public. The journalists banned from news networks for speaking out against the Iraq war aren't victims of free speech in the US, and our government doesn't represent American oligarchs. The public can't have health care because we have to spend money on our military so we can sleep at night and defend democracy. It's not because the private companies make huge profits and lobby (bribe) against access to medical.

The US is free to invade any nation and start proxy wars as it pleases because we have the God-given right. There's no organization policing the US, so it gets away with genocide, and the ultranationalist Americans scream, more weapons, more war, more deaths! Expecting the public to care about anyone but themselves is unrealistic. So, more weapons, more war, more deaths!

I am right. The US is the deadliest, threatening militia in the world, but Americans don't even care about the people within the country, so why would we care about foreigners (unless they're white)? NATO, the CIA, and global military bases oversee the world order, and the NSA, FBI, and the police spy on Americans, but it's for the good of the nation.

What you don't get is I'm not excusing Putin. I'm pointing out the US is responsible for Ukrainian deaths too, but you excuse the murders while I refuse. If NATO/US wanted peace, they'd pursue it, but they don't. They are aggressively dominating and enforcing US imperialism, but you support this because Americans are superior. Well, I don't believe we matter more and I won't justify the massacres.

The US murders more innocent people than Putin and XI combined, but the deaths only matter when other countries kill.
