Let's not forget Russia, though.
You argue with tankies...
I realize, though I usually think that if even one person is convinced of their wrong ways thanks to me, it was all worth it.
I cannot forget the one trillion gorillions that Russia and USSR genocided. Truly one of the revisionist history moments of all time!
But I struggle to remember Native American genocide, and dozens of genocided countries in the past century.
Russia is currently killing Ukrainians wherever it can. USSR killed millions of people, their own or otherwise. US massacred native Americans and did some really fucked up shit in other countries. So did Russia. Why do you turn this into a political discussion? This is not "US is perfect, Russia sucks". I don't live in US and don't even like it. But a proven fact remains that Russia and USSR (especially under Stalin) were and are a warmongering country with really high kill count.
