> Yeah, instead it was sheer incompetence and arrogance. They screwed up because they poorly handled the virus

allegedly, with a very low confidence.

now let's check how Americans handle their military bases.

Would you please stop taking HN threads further into flamewar? You have a long history of doing this on HN. I don't want to ban you again but if you keep this up, we'll have to.

I don't know what you're talking about.

This is not a flamewar, it is what is called "counter reasoning".

There are people claiming that USA (and only USA) suffered because someone else's incompetence, but I lost a friend during COVID in the USA because of the undeniable underestimation (to say the least) that the Presidency of US showed.

He would have lived if he was in China.

So, please, if you have to ban me, do it, publicly, so a record will remain that in this forum criticizing the US leads to a ban.

There's no better way to prove my point: US is not better than China when their interests and their image is on the line. They would do anything to silent critiques, including killing innocents.

Like they have done to so many people in my Country, for no other reason than being not 100% aligned with their colonial plans.

Please, do what you have to do, I won't stop criticizing the US mentality whenever i deem it necessary. Because, you know, when I was young I was a supporter of the US because they fought against the "single thought", but now they have become it.

If the "hacker news" has become the place where an yet unproven mistake is proof of "incompetence" or worse "a genocidal plan", than HN is no different from VK.

This sort of fulminating rhetoric is obviously not what HN is for. We've banned you for it many times and if you don't stop, we'll have to ban you again. It has nothing to do with criticizing the US or any other country or thing; it has to do with not following the site rules and consistently violating the intended spirit of the place. Plenty of other commenters manage to be critical without doing that, and that's fine.
