I have also seen that infographic and they are very generous with a lot of their timetables. For instance, they count the entire Cold War. If you want to include covert military operations and funding of rebel groups, well then an awful lot of nations have been engaged in war for 80%+ of their existence lol

It is true that the US is a war mongering nation. But the 17 years thing is bordering on the intellectually dishonest.

That’s not what I said and you know it.

The US is a warmongering, meddlesome nation. You don’t need to make up/reference incorrect numbers to make the point. It simply undermines it.
