    You know how US Republicans like to claim that they are the party that ended slavery?

    If you have to dig way back in history to make your point relevant and ignore everything that’s happening in the present day, your point is stupid and your mental stretching looks ridiculous.

      I don’t have to dig back very far to find US atrocities actually. The Afgan war ended two years ago and was one of the counterpoints brought up to you.

      But the idea that the United States is acutally better today than when they dropped the bombs is rich. At least we were nominally fighting fascism then.

      ETA: OK so if by “nuclear terrorism” you mean… the mere act of having nukes and the implicit threat of using them. America has nukes too. Today. In 2023. Or is it only nuclear terrorism when bad country has nukes?

        Putin has threatened nukes. Biden has not threatened nukes.

        At least we were nominally fighting fascism then.

        America was fighting a fascist enemy, not against fascism itself. America practically invented fascism.

        There are no limit of ways to criticize the US, but it’s slowly, marginally getting better. The US is slowly progressing.

        Russia is getting worse.
