No, the problem with this discussion is that you don't have any understanding of historical or material dialectics. You're pure liberal ideology, and wishful thinking about the hopes and dreams of the world. So fucking chauvinistic that you can't even imagine that the world doesn't want america to be better, they want us to go away.
literal White Man's Burden shit
Maybe you can explain to the millions of dead Afghans and Iraqis and the people sold to slavery in Libya post US bombing how great it was that a pro-freedom country did that.

lmfao, okay fuck, ya got me. I didn't realize you were doing a bit. Really had me going for a while. Hats off
The idea that the worst can't happen here is a classic mistake.
In 1984, Sarajevo hosted the Olympics, and the entire world saw a modern European city in a civilized country. A decade later, it was under siege, it's buildings bombed, and it's people starving.
How many videos have we seen of crumbling building in war zones? Every one of those locations was once a city with high-rises, residences, offices, schools, hospitals, etc., filled with normal people, going about their normal day, thinking they were safe in their city. Now it's all flattened.
Bad stuff happens to big cities all the time, and it will happen again. It is arrogant hubris to think that your country or your city is above all that. The country that will bomb you doesn't agree, and their opinion counts.
nearly 100% of every video I've seen of bombs being dropped in the last twenty years were all dropped by america, you fucking lunatic
America isn't blameless, but come on, Israel and Russia have been throwing around a lot more bombs than America.
Although, I will admit, a lot of those Israeli bombs are America built.
America dropped more bombs on Laos alone than were dropped in the entirety of WWII, and they weren't even formally at war with Laos.
No, America has been throwing around more bombs than the rest of the world combined.
Complete horseshit, the US has been bombing various Middle Eastern countries constantly not even counting Serbia, Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya.
Almost like America uses Israel as a proxy and those should also be counted as American bombs, and also they are literally American bombs.
Thanks for proving my point
You are demonstrating a complete lack of ability to research things you decide to talk about.
Israel counts as America. Its basically their middle Easter forward operating base. UN voting records demonstrates this.
And as far as bomb throwing numbers go, depends on how far back in time you wanna go. I think unless youre very selective and go for less than even a decade you'll see America on top
ALL OF ISRAEL'S BOMBS COME FROM AMERICA. You might be the single dumbest lib to ever wander into hexbear
Look up what we did and continue to do in places like Laos.
Sarajevo was in the Socialist Federated Republic of Yugoslavia. The SFRY was the example of a civilized country. It was a pioneer of the Non-Aligned Movement, and if you had asked anyone living there back then what they would feel if the USA disintegrated, you'd be met with indifference.
The United States was deeply instrumental in destroying that country, much like it destroyed Vietnam, Korea, Cambodia, Laos, Somalia, Sudan, Libya, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, and enacted disastrous regime changes in more countries than you can name in one breath, or maybe two whole breaths.
The primary root cause of war in the modern era is capitalist expansion, and the greatest lever of this expansion is the United States. It's not redeemable in its current form; Trump is the scourge of God upon America.
You have to be joking. Like...America caused that.
Absolute horseshit, America dropped more bombs on Laos and Cambodia alone than were dropped by all sides in the entire pacific theater of WW2
The world would be immeasurably better off with the fascist ameriKKKan entity defanged, in terminal condition unable to cause havoc across the rest of the world. I'd take a world dominated by Russia and China (aka BRICS) any day of the week without hesitation.
Death to ameriKKKa, death to piSSrael
This is some of the most deranged, white man's burden, imperialist garbage I've ever heard
The US is the militaristic nation sitting in the power vacuum strictly limiting rights and freedoms. Thats what imperialism is dumbass
Jesus fucking christ. Get your head out of your ass. The world would be absolutely fine without America. We'd shake it off like a bad case of the fleas. America had been the most brutal and devastating country to ever exist. Its rotten to the core. I really don't think you've read the room. Generally speaking, we here at Hexbear want that power vacuum more than fucking anything and would be hyped as hell to see China fill it. We are communists. This is a communist web zone. You are threatening us with a good time here.
I say this with zero irony
Death To America
Not beating those claims of chauvanism.
No, the world would be better off. The US Empire is the millitaristic power destorying peoples lives around the world, not China of all countries, not Russia either. The death toll from the US Empire is absolutely towering over every other country in existence right now.
This is peak "white man's burden" shit.
