It’s like we’re cursed.

You’re not wrong about all the things that have happened, but there are lots of countries around the world over that same timeline who have had a much worse go of things. The US has been the most powerful country in the world, so what happens here has an outsized impact, however this seems like just another facet of “American exceptionalism,” that the bad things that the US has done or had happen are somehow more special than all the bad things that have happened everywhere else.
So if you notice that we bombed Iran this week, you must find it the most important bombing? I truly don’t get how some people’s hobby is to shit on the US
Why wouldnt you?
Because the time the world has existed includes times other than this week. And other countries.
Exactly So why wouldnt you? The US is not and has never been a good guy.
*except for when it was in WWI/II among others
Literally a way to get rid of hungry mouths post-Depression, and wars the US didnt even want to be part of until they were attacked. Russia defeated Germany but the US took credit for it.
So… your point is that we are the only country of concern “because we have never been the good guy”?
Strawman. Fail.
I think you misunderstood that guy
My point was NEVER “we are the only country of concern.” That was a cheap MAGAt-style straw man argument. That makes him a liar. He’s welcome to try again.
