    When did America kill tens of millions? China certainly did kill tens of millions under Mao. Did you make a mistake and reverse the order?

      You can’t possibly be serious. You’ve got to be a troll.

      Vietnam: 3~4,000,000 (not account for the the devastatinf effects of agent orange) Cambodia: 500,000 (not counting US involvement in continuing Khmer Rouge’s massacres) Laos: 50,000 (not accounting for the still ongoing issue of unexploded ordinances) Korea: 2~4,000,000 Iraq desert storm: 1,000,000+ Iraq/Afghanistan/Syria: 400,00 direct violent deaths and 3~4,000,000 indirect deaths.

      Shall I continue?

          He has never claimed that China hasn’t murdered anyone? Neither has he opposed your claim that China killed millions (which they sure did).

          It’s really sad to see this type of reactions when people try to say anything against the US. Questioning the US is not the same thing as supporting china, whatever US politicians want you to believe.

            What? You clearly didn’t read the thread. This was his comment:

            “China killing literally no one, absolute scum of the earth!”

            Edit: Also, I didn’t try to excuse US killing. I just can’t believe that anyone would claim that China has killed literally no one and then set that up against a claim that the US has killed tens of millions.

              Here is the comment I thought of:

              Ah yes, America killing literally tens of million: righteous! China killing literally no one, absolute scum of the earth!
              Never takes much for the shoe to drop with you people.

              He might have written something else around here or he has edited the comment and then you may be completely correct. In such case please excuse me for being a bit rude :)

          You’re conflating policy failures (for which he absolutely took responsibility) to wars of aggression. If you can’t see how these two aren’t the same you can’t be helped.
