Any country that claims to be "morally superior" is lying. There are always compromises.

The problem is everyone demands the "morally superior" entity be PERFECT. One small misstep and you're on par with North Korea.

We've been North Korea for decades. We just got the bomb first,

I think they will however, gladly stroke at the Europeans that have gloated about their healthcare and democratic values over the Americans for two decades.

The anger over that will easily surpass the self reflection and introspection needed for criticism about their own governement.

The anger over that

Considering, they criticize it and constantly claim it doesn't work or provides worse service.

Let them get angry. It really only points them to their own failures. If they were correct, they would have no reason for anger. Just pity.

The US is a ruthless power. It dropped nuclear bombs on people. Nuclear testing fallout on their own people without warning; the Manhatten Project exposed 1.7 million Americans to nuclear fsllout. The coups... How the US treats Israel versus Iran, shows you everything. The US is ruthless. The support for war over peace is an example of that ruthlessness.
