Also I like how American leaders set the bar for their leaders at either developing countries or failed/failing countries.

Sure Biden is better than whoever is running Pakistan, but dude you're the US of A #1 ever in the history of the universe, maybe have better leaders/policies than Norway or Finland?

    Sure Stalin and Mao committed crimes against humanity, they were managing a country through massive revolutions, but surely Bill Clinton can do better than bombing kids for oil in a country that most of his citizens can't point on a map.

    If it wasn't clear this was like a hyperbolic joke. Clinton is an example, but the point is almost every American leader has done evil shit despite America not being in any crisis since ww2 as far as I can tell.

    Off the top of my head, Bill Clinton bombed an Asprin factory, which seems quaint now.

    That being said, fuck all the despots, regardless of the flag they fly.

    Stalin 6-20 million people dead.

    Mao 40-70 million people dead.

    Bill Clinton about 2,000 people dead.

    The US kills far more people through sanctions than military action. It is estimated that US policy has lead to the death of around 40 million in the last 50 years.
