The United States likes to preach democracy, liberty, and freedom and call out others on their human rights violations.
My question is: Where does the United States get its moral standing to call out others.
Right now the United States is trying to figure out what to do if China invades Taiwan. What to do if Russia invades Ukraine.
Has the United States forgotten that they:
- Assessinated millions of Native Americans. the U.S. government to authorize over 1,500 wars, attacks and raids on Indians, the most of any country in the world against its Indigenous people. By the close of the Indian Wars in the late 19th century, fewer than 238,000 Indigenous people remained, a sharp decline from the estimated 5 million to 15 million living in North America when Columbus arrived in 1492.
- Invaded Canada in 1812
- Stole land from Mexico (territory now included in the states of New Mexico, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, California, Texas, and western Colorado) 1846.
- Only ended slavery throgh a Civil War (1865) and still holds many of its black citizens in prison
- Orchastrated the assassinations: Patrice Lumumba, prime minister of the Democratic Republic of Congo, in 1961.
- The assassination General Rafael Trujillo of the Dominican Republic in 1961.
- The assassination of Ngo Dinh Diem, president of South Vietnam, in 1963.
- Financed the assasination of Salvador Allende, president of Chile, in 1973 to put military dictator Agusto Pinochet in power.

- Sponsored the regime changes in: Iran, Guatemala, Iraq, Congo, Syria, Dominican Republic, South Vietnam, Indonesia, Brazil, Chile, Bolivia, Uruguay and Argentina.
- Trained or supported secret police forces everywhere from Cambodia to Colombia, the Philippines to Peru, Iran to Vietnam.

- Has military bases in Aruba, Bahrain, Cuba, Djibouti, Estonia, Greece, Honduras, Ireland, Jordan, Kenya, Marshall Islands, Norway, Oman, Philippines, Qatar, Romania, Spain, Tunisia, UK, US Virgins, Wake Island.
The United States has no moral standing. The United States is a pariah that imposes its version of democracy and freedom upon others.
