@ericmay, you are not wrong, its already doing a lot of evil, I am from one of those countries destroyed by the US.
its less evil when country economically destroyed (with sanctions), but its another thing when some of your relatives killed because some people wanted to play with their gun and shoot real people, for sport.

I think painting an entire nation, whether it’s China or the United States, is a far greater evil. That’s the same sort of language being used against Palestinians right now.
People like to say that America is so evil. Look back through history at every major super power. Did they do no wrong? I think in the grand scheme of things we've tried to do good throughout the world. Have we been perfect? Absolutely not... but throughout history for having as much power as we've had, I think we've been good stewards with it. More so than any other power in history. That counts for something in my book.
You didn't define evil, which I think was on purpose. The United States does a lot of things with its military. But it does not jail elderly political opponents and sentence them to death for being a threat to the regime.
it is so convenient to downvote the comment because you haven't experienced it yourself and consider it as "yet another random weirdo complaining about the US" in the comments.
Before downvoting, think about what if person on the other side experienced how people they knew and loved know got killed by that "moral" superpower for sport, for oil, for land and to enrich couple of their billionaires even more.
US have no right to call out any kind of evil, anywhere, after destroying so many families. You just don't feel it, just try to imagine if half of your family got killed for fun, how do you feel?
Personally, I'm downvoting the comment because it is literally just restating the parent comment, but more generically. It does not contribute to the conversation.
And I'm downvoting you because you are breaking the site guidelines:
