    Broad estimates of US war victims range up to 12 million (a liberal estimate), whereas the Nazis killed over 13 million through mass killings alone (eg the Holocaust + exterminated minorities). The Soviet Union alone lost 20 to 27 million depending on who you ask.

    In addition to the 500k-millions of native peoples and hundreds of tribes the US systematically nearly eradicated, lets take just a few more examples.

    • Vietnam: 1.5M killed
    • Laos: 300k
    • Iraq: 1M
    • Indonesia: 500k-1M
    • Korea: 500k
    • Japan: 200k-1M in civilian bombings

    And I haven’t even started on operation condor and latin america yet.
