Are you sure that you know where do you live yourself? How many people life have USA ruined or ended for only it's own good? should I mention the whole Africa, Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, Iran, .... USA has ruined these people life only for the money and power. USA starts many of the terrorism groups, don't be blind, nobody create these groups nearby himself. It does this so it can sell it's weapons. It's like USA has made a playground way outside of his home, starting fights and selling weapon to them to fight and get money out of it and showing itself no related and sorry for all of these. Do you even understand not being able to buy a simplest drug for cancer of your close people what can do to you?

The neocons that blundered in Iraq and the neoliberals (like former Sec State HRC) that overthrew the Libyan dictatorship and targeted the Syrian autocracy, were democratically removed from leading US foreign policy. Democracy here adjusts. The 45th has accelerated the withdrawal from Syria due to anger from voters. The neocons and neoliberal have been pushing for Syrian escalation and the ousting of Assad. And there is now a peace path with North Korea, despite again extreme criticism by the necons and neoliberal.

On the other hand there is no accountability in Iran, Russia, or Syria. Russia just straight up annexed Crimea. And Putin is still in power and popular among Russians. Assad still hasn't held more than a single election in 5 decades. Again, the Bushs are out because of Iraq. And Afghanistan (that sheltered terrorist Al Queda) has a trillions in USD in rare earth deposits, yet we buy from China almost exclusively. China is not our friend anymore. We don't even own Iraqi oil.

Sanctions are just. And Nazis, Imperial Japan, and the Soviets were once embargoed, and they would be running an impoverished world today, if not for the US-led efforts. To the contrary, world GDP has increased many fold and US inventions, like the internet, lift billions out of poverty and into the drivers seats of their futures. Defeated former foes in Japan, Germany, even Russia, et all, and the defended like South Korea are doing fabulously after wisely focusing on building instead of launching an insurgency (after losing) because of "Death to Israel and the Great Satan" or whatever. Shame on the insurgents for plunging Iraq into disarray.

I have no idea what you're talking about with Palestine. The Palestine Authority pays million of dollars (from billions in US aid) a year to the families of terrorists (the longer the prison sentence, the more they pay), like someone that goes into a jewish house and stabs the entire family to death. Iran also supports terrorist Palestinian Hamas. Again, a lot of complaining and little building. Sanctions would come off if they stopped strapping on suicide vests because "Death to Israel".

Is our republic perfect? No. But more people have immigrated here than anywhere in history. We still take in more immigrants than anywhere else. And families that refuse to wait in line, risk their lives to cross desserts to wind up in temporary detention centers for a few a weeks just to get a residency court date. We have a Muslim Somali immigrant woman that's elected into Congress, and routinely disrespects our ally Israel and even the US. She is not in prison because of our freedoms. How many immigrant Jewish Americans are elected in Somalia?

Which country are you from?
