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?

[–] protist@mander.xyz -5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Given how many of these countries the US entered only during WWI or WWII, there's certainly an implication

[–] optissima@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You are assigning morality to invading. This simply states that the US invaded these countries.

The reason why is pretty important.

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 4 points 1 month ago

Because of the implication.
