The US has done some bad things foreign policy wise, but none have come close to what Russia is doing in Ukraine right now. Even in Vietnam or was like 1/10th the amount of deaths, and that's after over a decade of war vs Russia in a few years. Not to defend Vietnam cause that was ridiculously stupid and cruel. But Russia is in fact taking it to a new level in both regards.
Where are you getting your numbers from? Vietnamese soldiers and civilians killed range from 970,000 to 3 million. The numbers vary, but so far about 100,000 Ukrainian soldier and civilians died. This is a tragedy indeed. But please fact check next time.
US killed 3 million Vietnamese. Russia hasn't come anywhere near that in Ukraine. Do you pull all your facts out of your arse?
