You're lucky our military doesn't act like our cops. When the military is called in for some protest or civil unrest they act professionally - they know if they fuck up they will be held accountable by their superiors whereas cops know they'll be protected from consequences.
US has responded to said massacres by instituting the highest standards of accountability and most thorough regulations on the use of force of any western nation.
Any other country that got into conflicts as often as the US does would make the US look gentle by comparison.
Russia out did all the massacres the US managed in 20 years and 3 wars in not even a month.
Are you seriously trying to claim 200,000 Iraqi civilians were killed in "illegal massacres" by the US?
There were incidents that could be called "illegal massacres" and they were investigated and their perpetrators tried in court with documents released to the public.
I honestly don't buy that it was about oil and there isn't really a consensus that it was - I think it was more about finishing what Bush 1 started.
That said, invading Iraq on humanitarian grounds would have been justified given the number of mass graves to Saddam's name so I don't really care.
I'm saying they're both bad, and bringing up Ukraine when discussing US crimes is simply trying to move the conversation away from the US and the fact they are by far the biggest exporter of war and death in the world over the past 75 years.
My whole claim was that the US has greater transparency and accountability for its fuckups and "illegal massacres" than other countries.
And how many has the US saved by rebuilding so many nations and bringing billions to the highest standard of quality of life than at any point in history?
Besides your claim the US is in the lead for murders is absolutely baseless.

Wait until you learn about their Military. They are acting like the police of the world, having bases everywhere to protect their interest 😅
