    Broad estimates of US war victims range up to 12 million (a liberal estimate), whereas the Nazis killed over 13 million through mass killings alone (eg the Holocaust + exterminated minorities). The Soviet Union alone lost 20 to 27 million depending on who you ask.

    In addition to the 500k-millions of native peoples and hundreds of tribes the US systematically nearly eradicated, lets take just a few more examples.

    • Vietnam: 1.5M killed
    • Laos: 300k
    • Iraq: 1M
    • Indonesia: 500k-1M
    • Korea: 500k
    • Japan: 200k-1M in civilian bombings

    And I haven’t even started on operation condor and latin america yet.

      The real tragedy is that of the victims who got stuck in the middle between two doctrines hell-bent on global domination.

      The case of Imperial Japan is equivalent to that of Nazi Germany. A fascist regime that saw millions intentionally slaughtered and worked to death across Asia.

      Here are some links for reading more about the killings related to:

      • Imperial Japan

      • North Vietnam & the Vietnam War

      • North Korea & the Korean War

        I hope you take a moment and reflect on why you insist on approaching comparative history in this way.

          Maybe it’s because this is a comment thread about comparative history being performed in the same manner?

            The post does not go into kill counts as a direct comparison. It simply states that the us will be remembered as worse than nazi germany. So no, that is not the reason. I’m calling out your behavior specifically as problematic.

        Sounds like they are in good company, millions is millions, but I’d argue America has committed more genocides.
