        Some of these people are saying the US was always bad which is rubbish.
        For an example of good things that were done in the past pick at random from the $2b before trump cut it from USAID.

            Name anything good any other country has done then. And be sure to exclude things that are even a little self-serving.

              Why should you bring up other countries when we’re discussing the US? Especially when the US is not like any other country but the center of global imperialism?

                If you’re going to say “A” is bad you need something to compare it to as a standard. So tell me - what shining beacon of freedom and altruism would you say the US is lagging behind?

                    They said something is good, you said the same thing is bad. They want an example of good to compare to so they know what common reference point to use. Doesn’t seem like goal post shifting at all.

                    What IS an example of something good?
