Yes those are all bad and you are naive if you think a USA that relishes brutality could not or would not be 1000x worse.

Militarily, the US can trivially eradicate entire countries. It is “only” our leadership and their sense of morals (imperfect and spotty as they are) that prevents this.

You believe a USA run amok will last long? I doubt it.
A USA run amok for a mere 4 days can literally end human civilization as we know it. One sentence uttered from the mouth of a contemporary POTUS can make the atrocities of WW2, Vietnam, OEF, OIF all look like charity projects.

Your equivocation is beyond naive.

Many countries can do this? Pakistan, France. What is the relevance?
