      The United States, from its very inception has been and is an expansionist, imperialist project. From its inception the tools it uses to gain and maintain dominance over the rest of the world include genocide, slavery, mass murder campaigns, invasion, bombing, covert support for military coup and dictatorship, brutal suppression of all opposition to capitalism and the U.S. led global capitalist order. It has more of its own people locked up in cages than any other country in the world, both as a percentage and in total numbers. It spends more on military and policing than any other country. Simply put, no country is more brutal or heinous in its authoritarian ways than the United States of America.

      The United States has existed since the 1700’s and during that time it has been at peace for collectively less than two decades. It has surrounded china with military bases and is constantly provoking the country.
      Meanwhile China hasn’t been at war for over 40 years and it is often a peace broker in other countries.
      China has cancelled the debt of several African countries.
      The us funds foreign “aid” to these countries thru the IMF with loans that give them complete control over fiscal policy, if they cannot repay them.
