Merkel- can't imagine Russia back in G8 until common values met

Is the "worst human rights violator of all time"

So you just misquoted me and lied about my position to make your point? Amazing.

I said the US is the worst human rights violator on the planet. Not of all time.

then let's look at the human history of human rights violations.

Okay, let's do that. Let's start by looking at the US... a country founded on genocide and built on slavery.

By that metric even the very worst things the U.S. has ever done don't rate in the top 10 of worst human rights violations.

By looking at what countries are doing on the planet and understanding that no other country in existence causes as much damage to the planet and human society as the US.

No other country causes as many wars. No other country presses for global hegemony under a totalitarian surveillance state, violating the fundamental human rights of hundreds of millions of people. No other country invades other countries on other continents and starts murdering hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians in unjust wars. No other country has systematic global kidnapping and torture programs. No other country behaves as hypocritical as the US does when sanctioning Russia while supporting Israel. No other country behaves as irresponsibly when it comes to the environment, as one of the most developed nations on the planet and the country with the biggest headstart, the US should be leading in environmental protection... yet it's one of the least energy efficient countries on the planet and pollutes at several times higher rates than China. The list goes on and on.

But hey... tell us more about Tiananmen and the Great Leap forward as if you had any idea what you are talking about, American.
