Lets not pretend the USA is evil because some of the deeds done in the past.

The USA has done the most work trying to bring free & democracy to oppressed people.

If they failed it's not their fault the people they were trying to help didn't keep what was given to them.

The USA has been meddling in the affairs of the rest of the world for the best part of the last 100 years to further their own interests to the detriment of many.

That's the thing. You can totally dislike something, and that's okay.

The USA is evil because of the deeds it continues to do to this day.

Which it continues to claim to be righteous every time.

Not going to argue with anti-american people.

Let's ask Ukraine if they think the USA is evil like you all think.

Whatever. You can hate on something all you want. I just hope you're not in the USA doing it.

Proceeds to argue.

"Ukraine" is a country, not a person. A lot of Ukrainians have left Ukraine since 2014. Shall we ask them?

> I just hope you're not in the USA doing it.

I hope you are.

Isn’t fairly criticizing something that you care about, in hopes of learning from mistakes as well as triumphs, in order to create a better future the truest form of patriotism?
