      i can't stop, the more you dig the more gold there is

      like imagine holding this contradiction in your brain:

      Rummel was a strong supporter of spreading liberal democracy, although he did not support invading another country solely to replace a dictatorship. Rummel posited that there is less foreign violence when states are more libertarian.

      Rummel strongly supported the War on Terror and the Iraq War initiated by the Republican George W. Bush administration, arguing that "the media [was] biased against freeing Iraqi from tyranny."

              you have selected: Deaths by American Bombing!

              Did you know: in the 20th Century, "the United States probably murdered about 583,000 people"? In comparison, China murdered 76,702,000 people? Wow! Communism must be bad!

              Author's note: Initially it was 38 Million, but silly me I forgot that another 38 million also died during Mao's famine!

            Tito's Slaughterhouse

            I recall Tito being pretty solid as far as a leader and not having any controversies or (western fabricated/exaggerated) mass murders

            Like he had basically the entire world leadership at his funeral and even the western leaders there had good things to say about him
