First 2 items are about their borders - not that I agree with the actions, but these are completely understandable.

The Africa still isn't a proper comparison - building few bases where you invest tons of money and extract crutial resources isn't the point here, bloody invasions that destroy whole region for generations and kill millions innocent are. And this is something specific to US, even Russia didn't do anything comparable.

Anything after WWII, maybe but just maybe including Korea is actively adding evil to this world. But I suspect not many americans are willing to accept truth here




Ask anyone in Taiwan, they’d have a strong difference of opinion on Taiwan being apart of any piece of China, or within the borders.

As for countries being militarily aggressive, and causing direct conflict since WW2, sure the US, but there have been numerous wars since. A few at the top of mind —-First Afghanistan War ( Russia), Battle of Falkland Islands (Argentina), Iran vs Iraq War


Soviet Russia annexing the Baltics and setting up Eastern Europe and Central Asia as client states as well as destabilization in South East Asia, Africa, Latin America & Caribbean you say is in no way similar? Ok!
