    I like that the US is in red. By definition it can’t invade itself, but it did bomb and try to coup itself as well as the other 3.

    with Canada, what? that doesn’t even make sense to me, I know there’s the war of 1812 but I can’t think of anything since 1900

        Yeah, I don’t really think that holds up to scrutiny, unless I’m missing something. I know there’s more evidence of the USA meddling in an Australian election, but the evidence of anything overtly illegal is very thin.

          From this, I had just remembered finding the following after what I had said- U.S. elites are backing Albertan Separatism and I think this video does a fairly good explanation of the movement, discusses some context, and discusses a couple potentially legitimate grievances but then of course what the U.S. elites have to gain from backing it.

          Edit: added another detail, and clarifying the use of the phrase ‘potentially’ due to that I’m not Canadian and don’t know the full context.

            Yes, that is true. I don’t discount that many American citizens are attempting to influence our politics in Canada, but I just find it a bit absurd to put it on par with all the criminal coups and murderous stuff America has done in most of all the other countries in the original map.

    The US has done demonstrably bad things, and WWII is not one of them

      Sees a map of > 120 countries the US has attacked and murdered hundreds of thousands of civilians in

      I obviously don’t know what Dessalines meant by his map, but you should read about all the shit US was doing in Europe in the last 50 years - e.g. Operation Gladio is the most famous one. That did include mass bombings done by US and trying to pin the blame on antifa or socialist or communist parties.

        Given how many of these countries the US entered only during WWI or WWII, there’s certainly an implication

          You are assigning morality to invading. This simply states that the US invaded these countries.
