Two words: Power vacuum.
Once the US is gone, its place in the world will be filled in with China, Russia, India, etc., none of are any better (if not outright worse) than the current status quo.
what about eu? Granny Europe still rocks, do not underestimate her.
We all know Canada is to be the next superpower once all hell breaks loose in the US!
They will be like "We're sorry!" like constantly...
While committing all the war crimes! Finding out what they did in WWII was a bit eye-opening to say the least.
power vacuums are a myth used to sell weapons to the pentagon.
Please tell me what good US does at all in this position?
Count some numbers: Out of the US, Russia, China and India, how many millions of deaths of innocent civilians have each caused or significantly contributed to? I'm fairly sure the US tops that list by some ways.
You might want to read some history if you think that? Stalin, etc.
Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, we know the spiel. Anyway, the US were built on the genocide of indigenous people, have you conveniently forgotten about that? Do they not count because they don't belong to your ethnic group?
I would argue that Europeans are mostly to blame for the genocide of the indigenous people in the Americas. Or can we not blame Europe because that does not fit your narrative?
European people's hands are soiled with blood, but they don't harp as much about manifest destiny. And they haven't fought a civil war over the rights to treat people like poverty.
yeah, and the ussr is a totally relevant state in our days lol
The Russians seem to think that at least
greatly depends on what russians you as, even if you mean it ironically. USSR citizens is basically their equivalent of USA's sovereign citizens.
are we attributing deaths from lack of access to food, medicine, and shelter to the countries in which tehy occurred, or just active murder by the state? also, whatabout occupied territories: do we attribute deaths there to the military occupation?
however you do the math, america is bad, and abolition of the state is ideal.
