I think countries which colonize or repeatedly, unprovokedly attack other nations, or which commit genocide against or enslave people (internationally or domestically) deserve to be attacked. I absolutely get it if you don’t though, and I’m not trying to convince you.
If you are talking about US then native Americans are the ones who were invaded. They are a part of the current country but it is the Europeans who are the country now making more than 50% of the population. And the colonisers deserve every pain they can get.
White people don’t make up more than 50% of the population in several states. It’s only 55% nation wide and that is based on self identification. I know people who are 1/2 Black who still only check the white box (my grandpa in this case).
I was speaking of the nation which voted in the orange turd to show its true colours. Don’t gloss over the fact that Trump is the white nationalist’s fever dream.

The federal government is trying to remedy that fact with the help of several of those states.
All those doesn’t change the fact that the nation today is the country of those invaders with people they invaded and did genocide, and people who were brought there to be slaves. Saying the country was invaded by Europeans is like saying Europeans invaded Palestine or Levant. Though technically true Today’s Israel is made up of majority European Jews.
The united states of america was never invaded by Europeans. The invaders who did genocide over native population founded the country the comment is about. The government is representative of the country majority of which are Europeans. It doesn’t matter what the states are made up of.
Okay… even if I accepted that what does it have to do with my original point that people of color don’t deserve to be punished for the acts of the US government?
That’s fair. I’ve done my own thinking about this, and I’m not the poster who said the US deserves to be bombed. This conversation doesn’t lend itself to an online platform though, as only one perspective is actually legal for me to espouse.
No country does deserve an attack…

I think that more thought needs to be put into it when you are talking about a country that was originally invaded by Europe.

That’s doesn’t really have anything to do with the point of the comment you originally replied to.
At the end of the day the problem has never been just one country.
