The U.S.A. is not the evil country everyone makes it out to be

I'm sure this will indeed be a very polite and well-mannered debate. I will now make my points. First, a definition: evil, adj. Profoundly immoral or malevolent. I'm sure we both agree that morality does not apply to a country, as a country is not a person and morality is a human construct. malevolent, adj. Wishing evil or harm to another or others; showing ill will; ill-disposed; malicious. The United States of America can certainly be called a malevolent state. Its government wishes harm on many others, especially other nations and their respective governments. The way its citizens are treated within the country by the government is not necessarily representative of its foreign policy. Take The Third Reich for example. With the exceptions of Jews and political dissidents, Germans were not necessarily direct victims of in-state tyranny. However, as history shows, Germany's foreign policy under Hitler was extremely hostile, domineering, and focused on genocide. Am I comparing America to Nazi Germany? Yes, in the aspects of each that are comparable. Like Nazi Germany, America is marked by very passionate nationalism and belief in superiority. This is why America behaves like "the world's policeman" and assumes responsibility to invade countries not because they pose a direct threat to it, but because they are wracked with conflicts supposedly stemming from groups that our government (the U.S. government) disagrees with. In this way, much like Nazi Germany, America asserts superiority over all other countries simply by virtue of it being the world's sole superpower. The fact that people from other countries want to live in America and strive to despite its domineering foreign policy and rampant nationalism is not necessarily indicative of their belief in the cultural or national superiority of America; the motivation for these people is money, and money equals, supposedly, a better life. Besides, what of the thousands Central American immigrants who try to make a living in the States (and are at a disadvantage unless they can afford legal immigration)? Are they so confident in America that they just would prefer to live there, or are they on the verge of desperation? The fact that the number of immigrant children trying to move to the U.S. this year is nearing fifty thousand should already suggest that desperation is the key factor. When confronted with the lesser of two evils, the lesser option is usually chosen when a choice is possible. The causes of desperation include, but are not limited to, cartel violence, widespread corruption, poverty, and horrendous living conditions. Though it would be easy for my opponent to vouch for America's greatness due to the ostensible plethora of opportunities available for immigrants, the reality of the matter is quite different. The opportunity is only there for people who can afford to live in the U.S., and that cuts out a huge chunk of possible immigration. While this does not necessarily make the U.S. "evil", it certainly says a lot about how hard it is for most people in the world, who are indeed considered poor, to get in. As to the foreign policy I mentioned earlier, and its outright malice, I will now make my statements. The U.S. has a long, surprising history of supporting a myriad of shady, tyrannical, greedy, and generally despicable characters. To name a few (well, admittedly more than a few): 1. AFGHANISTANI DRUG LORDS Many argue that the point of the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan may have really been over drugs, and this could be true. After the withdrawal of Soviet forces from the country, U.S.-backed militant group leaders made a mess of the place and increased opium production to a record-breaking high of somewhere between two thousand to three thousand four hundred tons a year. Interestingly enough, the Taliban state cut the opium production by ninety-five percent while Afghanistan was under its power- alas, this was undone in the year 2001 through events that I am sure my opponent is familiar with. After the U.S. invasion, the opium kingpins were reinstated. It is also noteworthy that the new President Karzai's brother was one such drug lord, who had famously received backing from the American Central Intelligence Agency. After the 2011 Kandahar offensive executed by the U.S., Abdul Razziq was bestowed the position of provincial police chief, and ran a heroin smuggling operation already worth about sixty million dollars US. 2. ALBANIAN FASCISTS AND JEW-HATERS I am sure my opponent is familiar with the stigma against Communism, and the pragmatic actions taken by the U.S. government during the events immediately succeeding the end of World War Two. What he may or may not be familiar with is the fact that the U.S. government declassified documents detailing their recruitment of 743 war criminals from the Axis side. One such war criminal, Xhafer Deva, was employed by the U.S. and United Kingdom, along with others, to stir up dissent in communist Albania. Curiously enough, and doubtless of immense interest to my opponent, Deva was tasked to oversee the deportations of "Jews, Communists, partisans and suspicious persons" to the infamous death camp located at Auschwitz. This was revealed by in a recovered Nazi document. Says a lot about the current Ukrainian regime, eh? Of course Albania, being the smallest of the Communist countries, would be a prime target. Who knows what the other Nazi and Italian fascist recruits did, hm? 3.ARGENTINIAN JUNTA "DIRTY WAR" Some documents were declassified by shady American government in 2003 that revealed bizarre machinations that had taken place in Argentina, a place located in a continent noted for being screwed repeatedly, and painfully, by the United States government and its CIA cronies. Some of the documents, detailing an explicit conversation between SecState Henry Kissinger and Foreign Minister Admiral Guzzeti shortly after his junta's seizure of the country. Kissinger stated that he approved of the use of the junta's "dirty war", namely the killing of 30,000 mostly young people, and the theft of 400 children from the families of their dead parents. In the words of Kissinger, "Look, our basic attitude is that we would like you to succeed... the quicker you succeed the better." There you have it, ladies and gentlemen. In the eyes of the U.S. government, whether it is justified or not, convenience takes precedence over human life. But then again, you could infer that from the crass massacre of civilians in the Middle East. Let's just send a drone in, and, what the heck, who cares if there's collateral damage. We got who we think are terrorists. 4. KHMER ROUGE Of course you've heard of the Khmer Rouge. Who hasn't? Well, have you heard that the U.S., so determined to "cleanse" the world of "godless" Communism, actually ABETTED the monsters who served the infamous mass-murderer Pol Pot, the man who killed two million of the country's inhabitants? The Khmer Rouge, driven out of Cambodia, then known as Kampuchea, were instantly swept up as pawns potential opposition by the then-glorified leader of our country, President Richard Nixon, and his so-called "US Kampuchea Emergency Group". Its mission was to FEED and SUPPLY the Rouge exiles in order to pit them against the Vietnamese government. $12 million was put to this purpose to aid some 40,000 troops. Satellite intelligence, along with land mine training (which is now responsible for the maiming of hundreds of Western Cambodians a year) were also given by the U.S. to the ruthless Rouge. Oh, and I neglected to mention the illegal bombing conducted by the Nixon administration in 1969, the falsification of the flight logs of the American pilots responsible for this callous horror, the killing of at least half a million Cambodians as a result of this, and the total amount of bombs dropped- Surprisingly, more than were dropped on both Japan and Germany by the U.S. Air Force in WWII.
