The US tells us we’re so free and we have all these press freedoms and journalists don’t get killed etc. How ‘free’ are you when you incarcerate the most humans per capita? The most of the world, even. Who are these prisoners? Journalists? ‘Dictators’ of ‘bad actor’ nations? Dissident voices? Protestors? Activists? Please, tell us! And, just an FYI about your earlier claim that Russia ‘wants to be a new empire’ and how ‘we’ need to be scared of Putin (even though they have never even remotely expressed any desire to expand or become some kind of world-power, please provide evidence to the contrary, I have not seen one shred of it yet..):
USA: 85 foreign military bases (some of its larger allies, the UK has 17, and France: 13!)
China: 4
Russia: 8
Ooh, we must be so scared of Russia and China! Besides, if China or Russia did not have nuclear weapons, the US/NATO would have Yugoslavianized them a long time ago.
And let us not forget that *the reason* the USSR started making nuclear weapons in the late 1950s was solely because of the US having dropped nukes on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 without proper (military) motive.
