I thought maybe you were English, in which case we would probably be arguing a lot more here. But, despite the US being the savior of the world in many ways, we're also more evil and you hardly have to go back to the Trail of Tears.
Besides things like:
What we did to SE Asia was just about beyond description. Even 40 years later about a hundred children a year are killed or injured by cluster bombs left over. (80 million+ unexploded bomblets remain)
We really just invaded Iraq in 1990 for the oil/oil companies.
We messed up the whole ME in the next wars and have been at war across the world for 16 years now.
We sell more arms to Saudi Arabia than anyone and we're busy teaming up with them to destroy Yemen.
We ****ed up Central America and Mexico with war war, imperialism, and the drug war.
it goes on
But, in addition to all of that our war hawks and our military industrial complex are in cahoots with Israel's war hawks and Israel's military industrial complex, so we have responsibility there as well.
But anyway, I wouldn't say the United States or Israel are evil. More like half evil.
