Trumps escalation of this shock and awe policy that attacks and kidnaps families is unacceptable. Such tactics are reminiscent of those used by the Nazis Gestapo and Stormtroopers in rounding up Jews and other undesirables. Rendn and her family are no threat. She is a minister making a positive contribution to her church and her community.

Ask the slaves, the native americans, workers before the labor movement (our police and military used to murder unarmed strikers and their family) blacks prior to the civil rights movement, the civilians of korea, vietnam, Iraq, and afghanistan. This is a just small listing of groups of people we have fucked over or outright killed.

Yes I realize other countries have done some things that are just as bad, America is just larger and more powerful so we get to do it on a grander scale.

The USA has been the bad guy for centuries. It's just that most Americans are too stupidly nationalistic to realise it.

I see two possible exceptions to the rule: the Civil War and the brief period of time that followed, and some of World War 2.

so the total time that the US was arguably not the bad guy is ~10 years.

America began as a "bad guy." Instead of remaining as a peaceful colony of Britain or turning into a constitutional monarchy it decided to take up arms and kill some Brits.

You have to be super naive about the world to actually believe this.

Of course, that doesn't stop millions of people from doing so.

the civilians of korea


are pretty damn thankful that we saved them from being invaded by the North in the Korean War, or at least the ones in South Korea are. Seriously, North Korea nearly took over all of South Korea in the Korean War. Look up the Pusan Perimeter. North Korea had taken over everything but the very southeastern corner of Korea.

Try learning a thing or two before spouting off these talking points.

I was going to make a post about how theyre more the douchebag country but theyre still good compared to the real evil countries like North Korea and Saudi Arabia but then I remembered the US supports SA. And then I remembered Saudi Arabia is in the UN and plenty of other countries also ally with them. So there arent any good guy countries. Feels bad.

the US killed hundreds of thousands of Koreans, and imprisoned tens of thousands more, before the war even began.

Also, this. "good" and "bad" are almost never in tangible, quantifiable terms. Only a few times in history has a people been seen as universally disliked or approved of.

America has always been heel

I'd say we were pretty face during the Revolutionary War. There were a lot of other, older participants that were willing to help an upstart country and get a few licks in when it came to fucking with a centuries' old adversary in Great Britain.
