    • Complains there’s no nuance anymore.

    • Provides the second least nuanced take ever.

      How come? If that position had to be taken by anyone, who would you place there besides the usual suspects I just mentioned? It still doesn’t make Saddam someone who might see Heaven, at least IMO…

        If we’re only looking at the bad things a country has done, committing actual genocide is worse than destabilizing governments and overthrowing dictators.

        But you’re also ignoring the good things. The US has historically provided around one third of all humanitarian aid in the world. And while it may not be the perfect example of democracy, it has used its power to keep much worse regimes in check.

        Saying that America is “objectively THE main world villain” is just silly. Like, you think North Korea is morally superior? Seriously? Or Russia?
