Still you claim what has happened in the past is legit today. It wasn´t legit in the past and it isn´t today.You are repeating yourself. In fact, there is no other nation that ever did what the US does today.BS. Your "national interests" are the constant destruction of other countries in order to maintain hegemony. This isn´t working, anyway. That´s not a valid interest, I guess.I challenge you to name a nation that has NOT done either of those as formal government policy.
Or admit that all nations craft policy to serve their national interests and you only have a problem with it when America does it, because you hate America.
You listed two behaviors that you consider not legit means to serve a national interest.
I took you at your word, and seriously challenged you to name a nation that has not done either of them.
THE point is, that if what you are upset about, is completely normal national behavior, then your "outrage" is revealed to be bullshit.
And your failure to back up your complaint(s), shows that to be the case.
My point stands. All nations craft their national policy to serve their national interests.
That you see a problem in that, just when we do it, is not sane of you.
There were wars and sieges, massacres, all that stuff. But it was never the purpose to suppress the development of other countries.
And, if you mind, we are now in a modern age. You say, Hitler did it, so it is ok, when we do it. And who opposes that idea, is anti-American. You are the modern world nazi scum, fuck you. And the you is you and those who think alike - not the people.
Here is the trick of the question.
YOU get to pick, your example of a nation, that is sooooo much better than US.
And then I will cite it's history, showing that, surprisingly recently, it did just that, which you have claimed that no legitimate government does.
SO far, you have listed, behaviors such as, "starving, bombing and suppressing the development of other countries".
I'm not telling you that you have to defend, Nazi Germany or some such bullshit.
YOU GET TO PICK.
Name the oh so civilized nation(s) you were imagining, while you were putting America down.
Less abstract bullshit, and more concrete examples.
You were thinking of a nation or a group of nations, that are soooooo much more civilized than America when you attacked America for having policies that "served our interests".
Give those examples so we can discuss your claims in context, instead of as airy empty generalizations.
Do you need me to prompt you with civilized examples?
