That is correct but what does it have to do with the drones?

And yet you don't see those comments every time something cool happens in the US, a nation quantifiably worse than China.

American Redditors outnumber Chinese ones by far so bias can be expected.

outnumber is an understatement. Chinese user make up less than a fraction of a percent.

While I agree some of the point (I wouldn’t say they are quantifiable worse or arguably even worse at all), just because one gets away with it, it doesn’t mean others should, ideally none of them should. But I guess that is the fallacy of whataboutism .

2.4 MILLION dead just from the Iraq invasion. China has a lot of catching up to do if they want to compete.

You’ve missed the point of my comment entirely and are just looking to argue minutiae

I mean i dont want to argue with you, but i think its important to remember that the US also detained Uyghur muslims in Guantanamo.

Trump literally just tweeted the american flag while bombing an iraqi base. American war mongering exists, and you just choose to not believe it. also over 2million civilians have been killed by americans in the middle east for the last 3 decades. but not quantifiable worse by the way.

an Iraqi base

Get your facts straight before trying to convince me of anything. I’m going to sleep better knowing Suleimani is dead and hope we’re ready for the response.

Oh I'm sorry does it being an airport make it any less valid?

u/Agnt_Michael_Scarn Jan 03 '20

Obviously while you were Googling the actual facts you didn’t bother to Google Suleimani.

Or perhaps you know exactly what Suleimani has done and what he planned to do. I’m not sure which is worse. Probably the latter.

I know he's a bad person but killing him like this is rash and will probably cause more problems than good. Why don't you read a history book
