    The US absolutely assassinates political figures like Fred Hampton. The US isn’t a democracy, it’s a dictatorship of capital.

      Still putting the US on the same level as Russia in terms of human rights violations is absurd. And the ideal is to improve human rights conditions in both countries, not to argue over which one’s the worst country. Anyway, with how things are going, the US are going to be as bad as Russia in a few years.

        Correct, the genocidal US Empire far-outscales the problems with the Russian Federation, and it isn’t close. The US Empire is the world’s hegemon and absolutely plunders the global south, couping, sanctioning, invading, and genociding those who go against that system of plunder.

        And the ideal is to improve human rights conditions in both countries, not to argue over which one’s the worst country.

        Agreed. Russia hasn’t been couping a random country and slaughtering its people for the last fifty years. Neither is it aiding and abetting a genocide.

        You’re right, the US was built on slavery and genocide. Today, it has higher incarceration rate today than USSR had during purges under Stalin. There is absolutely no comparison here.
