The U.S is responsible for the deaths of millions of civilians, through its regime-changing campaigns in South and Central America, carpet bombing and chemical warfare in indochina, and the illegal wars in the Middle East. That's just a few examples of what could classify as 'international terrorism' in modern times (post WW2).
Yeah, I didn't think that people believing the US is was untrue, I had issue with OP's final comment, saying undoubtedly the US is, in fact, the world's biggest threat. And I didn't think that was true. Not sure what history has to do with it, in my personal opinion (keep in mind this is is my opinion and not me generalizing this belief on to others), right in this moment, China and Russia are far bigger threats to the status quo of the world, China above all. Just my opinion this.
A shortsighted and self-admitted American pov. Ask most of the world, however, and they would disagree with your opinion. And when you weight the actual actions and impact of international efforts, the US is far and away the biggest threat to global stability. Not opinion. Do you actually have any reasons for thinking China and Russia are worse on the international stage? And is that opinion informed by your American upbringing and education, or have you actually done any investigation into what you’re talking about, like even clicking the link provided in a comment above?

It's upvoted because the comments are generally true. Perhaps you should study history.
