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"

I obviously don't know what Dessalines meant by his map, but you should read about all the shit US was doing in Europe in the last 50 years - e.g. Operation Gladio is the most famous one. That did include mass bombings done by US and trying to pin the blame on antifa or socialist or communist parties.

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

[–] optissima@lemmy.ml 12 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You are assigning morality to invading. This simply states that the US invaded these countries.

The reason why is pretty important.

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 5 points 5 months ago

Because of the implication.

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?

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 12 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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.
