By numbers US is probably worse but the level of cruelty from Russia is unmatched outside of terrorist organizations

Just going by invasions and regime changes alone the US takes the cake. That’s before you get into the spreading crack into black communities, chemical weapons on civilians, drone strikes on children, ecological destruction, genocide enabling, etc etc.

Would it really be tho?
Like the US targets children and social gatherings to attack, tortures/rapes/murders innocent civilians in black sites, keeps a racial based underclass who they hook on drugs, violently assault from childhood, and lock up in record numbers to serve as legal slave labour. That’s pretty fucking cruel stuff.

Also invades small countries on whim, votes against the well-being of humankind, meddle in other countries’ affairs, has been in war for more than 90% of it’s existence, never held itself accountable, experiments on its own citizens, and is ruled by a cabal of paedophiles.

i hate defending the US because it has had more direct bad impact on my life bit by scale of lost life alone i’d still argue Russia is still worse, and if we lump current China to not even that long ago China the numbers killed are not even close
the scale of China’s population just blows it allniut of proportion

Idk what lost life you’re counting, because it’s pretty well known that civilian casualties in just the the Iraq war most likely dwarf Ukrainian losses.
