> nobody has come even anywhere close to the level of evil enacted on the world, as the US and its criminal War Coalition cult
I understand that these actions are incredibly callous, particularly as some of them are ongoing and can be stopped. I'm not trying to make the US look better, but only place it in a global context. All of these atrocities combined still don't seem even even remotely comparable to the atrocities committed by the British, for instance.
> European armies are being forced (by their NATO captors) to participate
This sounds incredibly misinformed and callous. Have people already forgotten about Libya in 2011, urged by the French utilizing NATO for their own interventionist agenda? Or the expectation among powerful European countries such as Germany and certainly most Eastern European NATO members that the US maintain a presence there? No one is being held captive.
Or for another example before NATO, the British urged the US to intervene in Iran to protect exploitative British oil interests, starting a cascade of further US intervention in the country succeeding the long cycle of British imperialism there.
A very (very) short sampling of the wonders of British colonialism with some sources that provide more context at the end:
A large-scale famine in Ireland that could have been prevented, brutal massacres in Kenya to crush uprisings resulting in the detainment without cause of around 80,000 people and the death of tens of thousands that were later covered up by burning their documents, the deindustrialization of some of the most successful economies in the world that were in what is now India (Bengal, etc.) by razing and/or crippling local industries that had developed globally-recognized innovations and forcing them through enslavement and forced labor into inefficient agriculture that partially resulted in famines that killed more than 10 million.
