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.

[–] SoyViking@hexbear.net 28 points 5 months ago

Why don't they have military coups in America?

Because there's no US embassy in Washington DC

It also interfered in its own elections

The US has done demonstrably bad things, and WWII is not one of them

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 28 points 5 months ago

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"

[–] ThirdConsul@lemmy.ml 23 points 5 months ago

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

[–] optissima@lemmy.ml 9 points 5 months ago (4 children)

Where is there a claim otherwise here?

Good old Freedom and democracy

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 14 points 5 months ago

We also need a map for right-wing pedophiles the US kept in power, because its not an insignificant number.

General Stroessner is one

[–] SektorC@discuss.tchncs.de 18 points 5 months ago (3 children)

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

[–] SektorC@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 5 months ago

I don't want to portray Switzerland as a poor, innocent victim here. As already described in this commentary.

Also Hungary

Maybe unintentional things aren't counted.

[–] CelestialMittens@feddit.org 5 points 5 months ago

Not all of these were unintentional, as much as the official statements claim otherwise

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

At least the US knows to not mess with the Mongolian Empire.

Horse archer hordes ain't nufn to fuckwit

[–] Kultronx@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

with Canada, what? that doesn't even make sense to me, I know there's the war of 1812 but I can't think of anything since 1900

[–] 9skyguy0@lemmy.ml 4 points 5 months ago (3 children)

I think it's the last one- interfering in elections.

Do one for the UK, or France, or Germany.

[–] Carrolade@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

France and Germany would look a little smaller, I'd think. UK probably has a pretty big one, they still had most of their colonies back then. One for Russia would probably be fairly similar too, the Cold War was global after all.

I'd like to see one for Norway, but going back to include the viking age. That'd be kinda neat.

Sorry, but that does not appear to be the case. The US has vastly more foreign interventions than the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China combined. Like an order of magnitude more:

Bellum Americanum

[–] prettybunnys@piefed.social 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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?
