    Precisely this. It’s a case of pick your poison. The U.S. is the least worst.

    Neither China nor Russia owned the US prior to the revolution. So depending on whether you want to imagine some fictional native american nation or the carved up colonies of France, Britain, etc that would eventually gain independence as smaller nations they really don't factor into the scenario. Unless you mean as some sort of "world police force". In which case, I don't think the US has the high ground on anybody.

    Of course, this is all alt history bs. The title was really more about the US being a net negative on humanity.

    But it’s not just about the U.S you selfish Americunt think of poorer asian countries (and Australia) vs china and Eastern European countries vs Russia

    Of course the world would be a better place without the U.S, China, Russia and jews and what have you but that’s more of an unrealistic utopia. If USA were to disappear overnight, things on earth won’t be any better because someone else will take their place and continue where they left off

    Having said that, I’m also glad we have Russia/USSR and China on the opposing side to keep somewhat of a balance and not let AmeriKKKa run completely rampant.

    What I’m curious to know is how well countries would get along if there’s no oil anymore and we’re all using alternative energy. I wonder if things would be relatively peaceful or who the new ‘bad guys’ will be. We went through germans and japs and communists and without the need for oil we can stop pretending to be scared of muslims too

    Please elaborate how and when the US' existence has benefited these "poorer asian countries" and "Eastern European" countries.

    china/russia are nowhere near as imperialist and culturally invasive. i doubt the chinese disney and the russian macdonalds would be as omnipresent and powerful as their US counterparts

    I mean its hard to debate this without being called an edge lord by some ignorant stupid prick, but yeah, I mean, the millions of people murdered by the US is just astonishing, and as someone said, Russian or Chinese propaganda and culture is not as invasive, no way

    America has been the biggest threat to world peace for years and years. Our foreign policy is a joke...no matter who is in office. We k--- innocent civilians and try to rationalize it as if it’s keeping Americans safe. We have created more terrorists since we started the war on terror. What a joke.

    Not to mention our healthcare system is a joke. I feel bad for people who go into bankruptcy from medical bills. We treat our own people like s--- so it’s no wonder we treat other countries citizens like s--- as well
