Wow, you really really REALLY hate America.

Why would I hate another country? I'm just stating facts [...]

No, you are just repeating Kremlin propaganda about a country you clearly despise with all of your being.

Again, what country are you from that you hate America so much? I'm curious. I agree that the US has indeed been highly disadvantageous to many peoples in the world, which is unfortunate. I can imagine that if you live in one of those countries, it's possible to harbor a hatred for us. But what country is that you live in?

Again, just curious.

Seriously though, the US was obviously the predominant military power that defeated Iraq, and was easily 90% the military power projected there, if not more.

Of course ~70% of that coalition was US military but as I said Iraq was an already disarmed and defeated country that the coalition overcame not an armed and powerful adversary.

I also can't believe your proud tone for such an illegitimate invasion of another sovereign nation and slaughter of about a million people there!

Let me guess, you'd also call defeating the Germans in WWII a "slaughter of a million men" too, right? How about our defeat of the British in 1780? Was that a "slaughter" too?

And why do I imagine you are somehow going to call the thing going on in Ukraine some kind of fully-justifies police action? Or maybe the Hamas attack on Israel, "self-defense"?

I think we've all seen this movie before

No. US regime should be punished for supporting genocide and terrorism in Palestine, while Xi and Putin must be prevented from doing what the US regime has been doing in the future.

Without the USA and it's army and nuclear deterrent, how do you suppose one would go about "preventing" Xi and Putin from... doing whatever they feel like doing, e.g. invading one country after another? Mean words, perhaps?

Democracy is a local thing not a global thing.

Nope, since strategic weapons were invented in the latter half of the 20th century, all democracy--indeed, all government--is very much global now. There is literally no location on the planet that could escape a Russian or Chinese nuclear-tipped ballistic missile, or a Russian/Chinese bomber-launched smart bomb, or a submarine-launched chemical weapon attack. You can live in Poland, or Portugal, or Peru. It doesn't matter.

The war-making tech invented in the last 70 years means you can't hide anywhere. Piss of Xi or Putin after you've successfully disabled the US, and you have absolutely no defense against them.

Let me know the country you live in, and I can give you a very specific example of how either of those armies could utterly decimate whatever brave response your military could muster (unless your answer is China or Russia of course, either of which would actually make perfect sense to me).
