No need for your little perspective. The US had started numerous wars that had killed, crippled, impoverished etc countless people.

War is a different topic, if you keep changing (the topic) no discussion is possible.

Which might be your goal.

Also China has gone to war with and enslaved as many people as they had the capacity for. Pretending otherwise is weird.

>"Which might be your goal"

I have no goals. I am on HN just to exchange opinions when I need a 5 min rest from a programming.

Oh. I am sure thy did. But the end result is what counts. They sure treated their own citizens like crap. But in business of f..g up other countries I think they're bit behind comparatively. Might change in a future so we will see / or not.

Inventing your own question and then answering that was an interesting thing to do.

The point bring that your original comparison is a bad analogy.

It should be obvious to you that something that effects millions of people is much worse than the CIA thing that only effected a couple hundred.

I didn't make an analogy. I asked a straightforward question.

I'm unclear why you or anyone else might be creating analogies in your heads. It's even less clear why you want me to have made them.

Ok, so then you agree that it is silly to bring up anything to do with the CIA, when China has infringed on the rights of millions of people?

You are the one shifting the discussion away from China to the US. We played that game, now you're upset that your efforts at deflection worked.

It should be obvious, but here we are.
