USA hasn't killed more than dozens of millions. If that is chump change then it makes USA looks pretty good for an empire.

Well except that it definitely has. From more than 50 million people in pre-colonial times to less than 3 million in the 90s. USA has done genocide on a scale similar any other ethnic cleansing or to any communist regime.
> 50 million people in pre-colonial times

USA didn't exist pre-colonial times, it started as a colony. Do you mean the British Empire? That one did way worse, yeah, but USA isn't the British Empire.
