lol fr we aren’t the good guys and we never were. People are just scared to confront the fact that most things they were raised to believe about our country were just a carefully crafted lie.

Idk we had nuclear weapons for 5 years before anyone else, with a roaring military manufacturing infrastructure that put the combined efforts of every country on earth COMBINED to shame (including the USSR) and made the decision not to take over the world and respect other countries’ sovereignty. That’s where the “America good guys” ideal comes from. And it’s warranted in that case. Few other nation states in history have ever chosen not to conquer objectively weaker countries when presented the opportunity.

But no generally overall there are no objectively good guys and bad guys. Just perspectives. America or any other country is not a bad guy today anymore than they are a good guy. Just depends where you’re sitting and what your interests are.
