25. The US probably does more bad things than Russia

Sun Dec 11, 2016, 05:47 PM

Dec 2016

Russia has 10 military bases outside Russia. The US has almost 800. We kill vastly more people than Russia does. We invade far more countries. We interfere in far more foreign elections.

We also do more goods things than Russia does by far.

But maybe it is reasonable to criticize the US more than Russia.

And Snowden should get the Nobel Peace Prize in my opinion. He revealed secrets hidden from the US public kept secret to hide government misbehavior from the public. Our enemies already knew most of what Snowden revealed.

Greenwald seems on the mark as far as I can tell.
