Eh, is the US currently invading its third sovereign nation with the goal of annexing it, and committing genocide in the process?

Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Iraq, Afghanistan, The Philippines, Nicaragua, Chile, Guam, Hawaii, Marianas, Cuba, Iran, Yemen, Syria, Haiti, Yugoslavia, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, economic shock therapy in Russia

And that's just the basics. Millions dead, nukes on civilians, chemical weapons on civilians, mass deforestation, poisoning land and water, generations of cancer and birth defects, some individual US targets had more bombs dropped on them than all countries combined dropped in WW2, napalm and white phosphorous to bind chemical fire to human flesh, land mines fucking everywhere, depleted uranium dropped in population centers, coups, death squads, resource extraction and annexation, torture, kidnapping, direct terror and training and arming thousands of terror cells.

Not to mention the USA was built on land where 80% of the indigenous population was killed and the USA maintained and continues to maintain the policies of genocide, enslavement, mass murder, lynch mobs, systematic rape, eugenics, child torture and trafficking, etc.

Sooooo, no. The USA is not on its third invasion of a sovereign nation, it's 200 years into it's prosecution of the genocidal annexation campaign that it deliberately took control over from Western Europe.

Well, we've got 2/3. I'm curious why you think annexation is worse than simple pillaging, though, which is what we usually do.

US is currently participating in a literal genocide.
