It feels like to me most people on HN have the opposite sentiment: America is evil, they invade countries just for fun, drop bombs just for the lutz. In contrast, there was a time when China got a lot of support on HN before their actions evaporated it.

People have varying opinions here but I see plenty of slagging on america's vast history of problems. We are trying to do better but let's see how we do over the next years - we can do so much better. We did all those things and worse, don't forget genocide against native americans, half the country is in denial that slavery and racism were terrible things that still impact us today. And on it goes.
