Is our record spotless? No.
Has this country stood up for those who were being raped, tortured & slaughtered? Yes.
Has this country intervened when there was unjust aggression? Absolutely!
And how many innocent lives were saved from these interventions? Many, many millions!
How many despots deposed?
"Can you find me an example of a less "peaceful nation"?"
There are many. Many are on your list. Russia, France, Germany, Japan, Italy, China, India & most Middle Eastern nations, ET AL, have an extremely bloody history. And most would have a more violent history if it weren't for the USA.
"All of the others have been examples of us throwing our weight around where we had no business doing so"
Bullshit. That is revisionist history.
"Also, can you tell me which country in the world has the largest arsenal of chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons?"
We are destroying our chem & bio stocks. We haven't used them on anyone in many, many decades. As for nukes, we used them twice on Japan in WWII. History supports the POV that in doing so, many more lives were saved than taken. Since then the US has built that arsenal to keep the peace & to provide a credible threat to those who would otherwise use chem, bio or nuclear weapons.
Your spin & propaganda does not fit with history.
The USA prefers peace, but will not hesitate to defend itself or defend those unjustly attacked. |
