Our country has a long and glorious history of our troops/agents overseas killing random people in horrible accidents and then telling the other country they should get the fuck over it because laws don't apply to Americanshttps://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1357345658772934658 …

I had a whole conversation with a Republican shithead who believed very strongly that as an American citizen he had a fundamental duty to care about the lives of all American citizens and, correspondingly, a duty NOT to put any value on foreigners' lives by comparison

He explicitly said that the whole point of America existing as a nation was that every American should be prepared to sacrifice the lives of a hundred, a thousand, a million, ALL non-Americans to save the life of just one American And if you wouldn't, you're betraying America

The part that never seems to compute for people like the guy you described is that if the rest of the world takes it as a given that America will operate that way, it positions the US as the violent enemy of the world. And you know, a decent chunk does.

It's not "they hate us for our freedom" when what you mean by freedom is your ability to bomb them on a whim. The same people who wheel out that excuse for anti American sentiment are the people that push the policies which cause it
