That is a bit of an overstatement.

If we look at casualties, the US 400k pales in comparison to the to the 26 million of the Soviet Union[1].

Yes, but not significantly due to recent US policy or actions.

The Taiwan policy has been pretty good over the last many decades, and there have been other interludes of excellence, such as that offer to Marcos ("you can live in the US and enjoy the spoils of your crimes in peace if you move NOW and PEACEFULLY"). I'm sure there are more.

...thanks to the Allies. From then, the US returned to its bloody, destructive colonialist behavior.

Maybe even four or five. It's little because of the only USA now.
