The US has done demonstrably bad things, and WWII is not one of them
Sees a map of > 120 countries the US has attacked and murdered hundreds of thousands of civilians in
"Okay but 3 of those deserved it"
I obviously don't know what Dessalines meant by his map, but you should read about all the shit US was doing in Europe in the last 50 years - e.g. Operation Gladio is the most famous one. That did include mass bombings done by US and trying to pin the blame on antifa or socialist or communist parties.
Where is there a claim otherwise here?
Given how many of these countries the US entered only during WWI or WWII, there's certainly an implication
You are assigning morality to invading. This simply states that the US invaded these countries.
The reason why is pretty important.
Because of the implication.
That's 6 of the, I'm gonna guess around 100 countries in red
Damn that's crazy. Anyway:
Wait, what does this have to do with the above comment?
Instance whining from dronies isn't allowed here. Go make other instances miserable with it.
What’s a dronie?
I think it'd be more like a 99.5% truth considering all but 3 or so of the countries the US invaded were almost as evil as itself. The nazis only aspired to acheive what the US succesfully carried out: the near total decimation of hundreds of indigenous peoples, and clearing of an entire continent to make room for white europeans. Manifest destiny succeeded, lebensraum failed thanks to the USSR.
The joke is ml usually goes full on no truths most of the time.
