What's more, I recall the US in the last 2 decades:
- went to a war by lying about WMD and against the entire world (at least the world represented by the UN) will, killing thousands
- deployed mass surveillance of its own people, introduced bypasses to Habeas corpus and legalized torture using the Patriot Act
- elected a man that is at the center of so many Clinton-size scandals in a row it became the new normal
Now, I don't even begin to claim I have a superior country, mine has done many terrible things.
But let's not pretend the US (or any other superpower's) behavior has anything to do with morality. It's either naive or dishonest.
However, labelling everything with "war" is, indeed, a very American thing to do.
It's up for people to decide what they view as acceptable, the history of every country is for the most part transparent these days.
Laundry listing things other countries do (I disagree they come close to the atrocities committed by the CCP) is not a great defense.
I listed CURRENT atrocities being committed by the CCP right now, you picked from our entire history that we as Americans have already expressed outrage (WMD's, etc)
I even left out surveillance because all countries seem to be spying on their citizens, though the CCP goes a lot further with no accountability because it's a dictatorship.
And it is a bloody dictature.
That's not the point. The point is: why does the US has to formulate systematically its antagonist positions as a War?
Given they have the biggest army in the world, this is the best way to have the most violent resolution of this antagonism.
