Asia's security must not be based on intimidation

[Indofred]

BBC News - G20 Obama warns of Asia intimidation as summit begins

The US president says Asia's security must not be based on intimidation, where big nations bully small ones.

The United states has an extremely poor record when it comes to being a bully, terrorist actions, and carpet bombing countries they aren't at war with.

The daft fucker should shut up.

Another 100% pointless, anti-American troll thread.

 

[Indofred]

Another 100% pointless, anti-American troll thread.

Please explain why the truth as to US attacks on small countries is anti American.
If history is anti American, perhaps America has managed to do a few nasty things.

Unless you dispute the list above.
I don't suppose you'll manage; preferring to post insults and rubbish as a substitute for well thought out argument.

Funny how the well researched example of American imperialism left out WW1, WW2 and freaking Korea and Clinton's carpet bombing of Yugoslavia to deflect criticism of sodomy in the Oval Office. Maybe Media Matters made up the chart.
