ISIS does it = terrorism.

US Gov does it = justice.

The world super power and global hegemon for secular western democracy is the same as a theocratic insurgency terror org? Wow I had no idea.

Since the inception, USA has always been imperialist and since the end of World War II, has been involved in more global conflicts than any other countries. USA merely operates on "lesser evil" framework. And up until recently, USA has been secular, but democratic? Hardly to begin with. Just ask black Americans, Native Americans, Filipinos, Vietnamese, Iraqis and Latin Americans. The US ignored the UN resolutions many times, especially on not invading Iraq under false pretense of hiding weapons of mass destruction. So, USA has always been a terrorist state but in different name and face. I would go so far as to say that Trump took off the facade of the country as the shining beacon on the hill. After all, American people had been demanding for authenticity.

Blah, blah, blah, America bad, America bad. I thought the attack on the Russian data centres put you guys out of commision?

I'd rather a lessor evil framework than... Oh wait your not suggesting anything because you're an empty vessel for campist brain rot.

Nobody cares about "imperialism", they care about living standards, representation, and economic prosperity. America has strived to realise these ideals and helped other nations reach them to through its international humanitarian efforts and security guarentees.

Any failure to meet their own standards pales in comparison to actual terrorists who don't have those standards to begin with, so your use of that word really exposes your ignorance.

Btw the UN means nothing, it's a glorified group chat for tinpot dictators and despots. A majority of the member states fall below 6 on the democratic index, i.e. they are corrupt authoritarian shit-holes.

Bold angle coming from a much younger account literally named "tankiesmasher" that seems to only contribute anti-communist and/or pro-American talking points.

Ah yes, the pro-American, pro-NATO, pro-Ukraine Russian bots, I must be one of those 🤡

Hope you got a good look at my profile while you were desperately searching for something besides my arguments to talk about.

Sorry to say this to you lib, but if Saddam wasn't toppled, ISIS would not even have come out in the first place. Saddam's secular regime was what was stopping the theocratic terrorism that you yourself had been criticising. So if you want to talk about "lessor evil", then maybe you should not be doing your own terrorism. You created ISIS simply because your country wanted oil at the obvious pretense of "spreading freedom".

Lmao, yea Saddam was a great guy, everyone was cheering for him during the Al-Khald Hall purge. Glad to hear you defend a dictator so openly while speaking about the evils of a secular democracy from the other side of your mouth.

It's really gross how you remove all agency from literal terrorists because apparently you think so little of Arabs. "ISIS had no choice but to fill a power vacuum with civilian blood, they're just poor little guys :("

And again, you are lying about what terrorism is to suit your obvious propaganda.
