Dude I hate the US political system. But the US beats the hell out of China any day of the week. Attempting to draw any comparison that suggests the US is acting more irresponsibly than China is insulting at best.
Taiwan. Hong Kong. Tiananmen Sqaure Massacre.
Do y'all ever have anything more recent than 1989 in these comparisons? How many people has China bombed in those years versus what the US has done? I remember a ridiculous BBC article claiming the PLA killed 10,000 people at Tiananmen square.
Yeah that would be bad, but the lowest numbers for the Iraq War I've seen have been over 1,000,000 dead. And that's just one war the US has committed in the past 34 years
Fair point. US has definitely killed more non-US citizens than China has killed non-China citizens. I can't honestly pretend the US foreign policy is righteous or even sustainable.
The US has killed more people than China in general, as in it's not an even close to comparison. It's like comparing a scraped knee to bullet in the chest. I wouldn't be surprised if America has killed 10, 20, 50 times more people in the past 40 years.
