Why did the US drop 2 nuclear bombs on Japan? Why the US is keeping Israel as their toy? Why the US entered the Vietnam war (hint: no, not to avoid the spread of communism). US is the bad boy of this planet, just because they can.

But they did it to protect the planet. We need to enforce "democracy" and spread capitalism.

and agent orange, and destroy literally everything before we tail it back to our own country, not before we tell our vets to “suck it up” and bootstrap their PTSD due to exposure of aforementioned war crimes.

HN is fast becoming reddit with comments like these, sadly.

Just to be clear, are you insinuating that my comment is somehow misleading or untrue?

Not strictly untrue, but it's a trite dismissal of US foreign policy in general.

All that I have to say about this is that it’s a shame that the people of the US and western “imperialist” world do not reap more benefits from this

> Why did the US drop 2 nuclear bombs on Japan?

Japan declared war on the US. Didn't surrender when it became obvious they were going to lose and instead decided to inflict as many casualties on the as they could on the way down. So they got nuked.

> Why the US is keeping Israel as their toy?

The US inherited a lot of messes after WWII. Not really the US fault the Palestinians always make bad choices.

> Why the US entered the Vietnam war (hint: no, not to avoid the spread of communism)

Hint you are 100% self servingly wrong about that.

> US is the bad boy of this planet, just because they can

I've come to the opinion people that say this are upset that the US stands in the way of some nastiness they want to inflict on someone.
