I don't think this is terrorism, that's not what the word means. It's a clear and open act of war, so in many ways much worse, but somehow terrorism is a scarier word.

Murdering million children in Iraq, now attacking school in Iran, 2 million people dead in Ukraine, regime change operations across the world, military and economic interventions across the world.

English is not my first language. If you got a better word other than American terrorists and American terrorism, then suggest me one.

Dead Ukrainians are Russia and only Russia fault.

It is, because it might impact normal citizens. Nobody has ever invaded US so coensequences of real war are unknown to most.

That's not technically true, seeing as how Washington DC was captured and burned in 1814. But it's at least true for modern times.

We’ve just recently been invaded by a fascist coup of white nationalists funded by the Epstein class and are dying a slow death from within tbf.
