Because it's really about US-bashing, not the facts.
The facts speak for themselves.
Millions dead in Vietnam and Cambodia.
A terrorist attack of Iraq that included random roundups and torture and left us with ISIS
The US is a menace, not a police officer or example for the world to follow.
We only seem evil because we are compared to Russia. Of course, Russia never invades anyone. They are a great force for peace, stability, and extreme avoidance of civilian discomfort. Compared to the Russians, any country would appear to be a menace.

No, I am not blaming everything on US, just that US always takes bad situation and makes it worse.Here is a news flash for you, Iraq is not the whole ME, There is Syria too, and Lybia is essentially the same shit. ANd here is another news flash for you, Obama is as much responsible as Bush, and Clinton is also responsible. In fact the same damn people are determining US foreign policy regardless who is the president
How do you know it's good?But again to claim that US is the only factor destabilizing the ME is a misunderstanding of history. The tribal conflict between the Sunnis and Shia goes back way before the founding of the US.
Below is a good article regarding how Viktor was ousted:
I am not going to read it, but just tell you one thing, despite your claims otherwise, Yanukovich was democratically elected to his presidency.
Yes he was a thief but so is current president whose election was not that democratic.
What does it have to do with anything?But again, the mistrust of Russia goes far back in history.
Do you mean you base your opinion on your long historical mistrust of Russia? and not on the facts?
I'm not trying to argue with you and put down your opinion. Yea, US foreign policy has made many many mistakes. Not much of a headline here. But you are blaming everything the US.
My point is that the problems in the US go back a 1,000 years. Probably the biggest foreign policy blunder was realigning the area's borders after WW1.
Do you realize that I had spent 2 years in Russian army with these fucking western ukrainians?Same thing in Ukraine. The mistrust that western Ukrainians have for Russia and even Eastern Ukrainians goes back a long time. Here is a good start:

So take this link and shove it up your patronizing ass.
I'm sorry that you took my tone as patronizing. I didn't mean it to be. Just wanted to broaden your horizon a little!
