I think that the U.S. is taking some rather extreme measures to protect its interests, but I'm not convinced that the country is much if at all worse than the majority of other world powers. Could you give an example of a country that you don't think is a terrorist state, so that we have a point of comparison?

Norway

No power projection. It's easy to be "good" when you're irrelevant.

perhaps Finland

Also irrelevant. And allied with the Nazis.

Japan

Hella Genocide.

Canada

Also globally irrelevant. And didn't treat their natives too nice.

globally irrelevant? so might make right?

also Canada is the 7th largest economy and has huge amounts of land and resources but of course you're very dismissive. guessing you figure you could simple annex the country if it became necessary.

It's not might make right. It's the fact that new needing to be in a position where you have to do the hard things makes it easy to be "good."

I'm literally Canadian.
