The US is not a moral standard worth an ounce of spit when it comes to war crimes, crimes against humanity and massive violations of human rights at scale.

It literally murdered 5% of Iraq's population in cold blood on the basis of outright lies.

Iraqi mothers still suffer the US' war crimes.



Yes, I think we all realise that nation-building and intervening in foreign countries for regime change is a mistake, and what comes after is usually worse (Iraq, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan etc).

Unfortunately the citizens of these countries don't want to live in functioning democracies.


>Unfortunately the citizens of these countries don't want to live in functioning democracies.

That is utterly incorrect. They want to live in sovereign democracies with control over their own nations resources.

The USA and its allies do not want that, as they have - as a whole - designated themselves the "shepherds" of the "lesser cultures of the world". A viewpoint you have propagated.
