The US has done demonstrably bad things, and WWII is not one of them
Sees a map of > 120 countries the US has attacked and murdered hundreds of thousands of civilians in
“Okay but 3 of those deserved it”

Damn that’s crazy. Anyway:
- In 1967, the CIA helped South Vietnamese agents identify and then murder alleged Viet Cong leaders operating in villages, in the Phoenix Program. By 1972, Phoenix operatives had executed between 26,000 and 41,000 suspected NLF operatives, informants and supporters.1
Wait, what does this have to do with the above comment?

Instance whining from dronies isn’t allowed here. Go make other instances miserable with it.
What’s a dronie?
I think it’d be more like a 99.5% truth considering all but 3 or so of the countries the US invaded were almost as evil as itself. The nazis only aspired to acheive what the US succesfully carried out: the near total decimation of hundreds of indigenous peoples, and clearing of an entire continent to make room for white europeans. Manifest destiny succeeded, lebensraum failed thanks to the USSR.

That’s 6 of the, I’m gonna guess around 100 countries in red
Where is there a claim otherwise here?
Given how many of these countries the US entered only during WWI or WWII, there’s certainly an implication
You are assigning morality to invading. This simply states that the US invaded these countries.
The reason why is pretty important.
Because of the implication.
I like that the US is in red. By definition it can’t invade itself, but it did bomb and try to coup itself as well as the other 3.
It also interfered in its own elections
and libs want to tell me i should be mad at china or venezuela.
They hate us for our freedoms.
Because the criterion “bombing” is explicitly mentioned, Switzerland must also be colored red. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerial_incidents_in_Switzerland_in_World_War_II
Also Hungary
I don’t want to portray Switzerland as a poor, innocent victim here. As already described in this commentary.
At least the US knows to not mess with the Mongolian Empire.
Horse archer hordes ain’t nufn to fuckwit
What’s the source for this?
I’d like to see what the criteria for each event is tbh.
And can we get one for the other “super powers” of the world?
You can see a list of US atrocities here.
Map shows Sweden in Red… as in they have been meddled with but your list shows the only mention of Sweden as:
In 1801, and again in 1815, the US aided Sweden in subjugating a series of coastal towns in North Africa, in the Barbary Wars. The stated reason was to crack down on pirates, but the wars destroyed the navies of Algeria, Tunisia, and Morocco, and secured European and US shipping routes for goods and slaves in North Africa.
So before 1900 and not in Sweden itself… Do you have another source that matches the map actually?
Could be referring to the assassination of Olaf Palme, the Swedish PM who stood against US foreign policy, siding with Cuba, Vietnam, against apartheid south africa, against pinochet, etc. He was a target of P2 / gladio, and its possible the CIA had a hand in his assassination. It remains an unsolved murder.

Whataboutism Liberal present
Australia lmao? Gough Whitlam is likely, but not factually proven.
Its pretty much proven. There’s many books with the details, especially a section in William’s Operation Gladio book that talks about it.
Same with KRudd. Not proven, but seems likely.
I think that probably has something to do with Papua New Guinea or something…
Don’t know what the US did to the Soviets but it’s telling that the Soviets are all gone. Must not be using a sustainable method.
Blaming the victims of the US empire for not withstanding its onslaught.
- In 1996, after receiving incredibly low approval ratings, the US helped elect Boris Yeltsin, an incompetent pro-capitalist independent, by giving him a $10 Billion dollar loan to finance a winning election. Rather than creating new enterprises, Yeltsin’s democratization led to international monopolies hijacking the former Soviet markets, arbitraging the huge difference between old domestic prices for Russian commodities and the prices prevailing on the world market. Much of the Yeltsin era was marked by widespread corruption, and as a result of persistent low oil and commodity prices during the 1990s, Russia suffered inflation, economic collapse and enormous political and social problems that affected Russia and the other former states of the USSR. Under Yeltsin, Between 1990 and 1994, life expectancy for Russian men and women fell from 64 and 74 years respectively to 58 and 71 years. The surge in mortality was “beyond the peacetime experience of industrialised countries”. While it was boom time for the new oligarchs, poverty and unemployment surged; prices were hiked dramatically; communities were devastated by deindustrialisation; and social protections were stripped away.1,2
