RJ Lee No. I proved how dedicated paid trolls, such as yourself, are. If what you say is true, then I can in effect discredit anything you claim by simply saying what you said. There is nothing more I can do to "convince" you because trolls are supposed to deny deny deny at any cost. I leave you with the various sources that have reported on the trolls: TIME, Newsweek, new york Times, BBC, Al Jazeera, various internet sources, and even The Moscow Times. Several former trolls have come forward as well. Many of the paid trolls do it for the money, to help their families. Some do not have allegiances to anyone and these people can be coerced into talking about their work.

Yasser Salem All those countries rate low on the "worlds most charitable countries scale."
Yes the US spends more on its military then the next 10 countries combined, but we also give more than the entire world combined. Feel free to look this up.
Every country is guilty, none are innocent. Mothers/wifes in the USA lost over 100,000 sons/husbands in WWII . They died to fight Hitler and Japan. The US has done some stupid things, but it has also done plenty of good things for the world e.g. Marshal Plan---although not an excuse. The CIA and warmongering politicians are response for our wrongdoings. The people are complicit as well, because we do not protest and speak out enough. I do. Fortunately this is changing, example being the police brutality riots and the white house petition website.
What is the difference between the USA and Russians or Chinese people?? We acknowledge our mistakes and we even teach our children in school about US mistakes. In high school my textbooks even had the Iraq war in it, it talked about the mistakes we made.
The Russians and Chinese that I have encountered never admit fault---very few do. When I ask they will insult me, say how evil we are, or just plainly lie. Russian won't even admit what a tyrant Stalin was. Same with Mao. All I ever hear is "fascist jew swine junta nazi ukripo americunt." The US is far from perfect, but would you rather have two countries that Amnesty international has condemned for human rights abuses as the dominant power on Earth??

***** It is ludicrous to think that corrupt Chinese leaders will ever be the leaders of the free world. The past 100 years of Chinese politics has brought nothing, but death and oppression (Mao). Yes, the US is not perfect, but if you compare the world of 200 years ago you will find we live in a much more peaceful and prosperous world. US naysayers like to predict doom for the US at every corner and have been doing so ever since the US came into being. Unfortunately for the naysayers the US has time and time again shown that it will endure (great depression, war, civil war, soviet union, civil rights ext.). The mistreatment of blacks is a scar on our history, but we changed that in < 100 years, and there is the defining factor of Americans, we are willing to change.
You forget the US is only 200 years old and has a long way to go before we Americans can truly call ourselves great. China has been around for thousands of years and its only been mediocre on the world stage and as long as they operate like the dynasties of past, china will never rise. Only a truly free people can call themselves powerful.

Sun Shine Of course I cannot point out every historical event and I am not keen on writing college level essays on YouTube. As for losing our freedom, sure evil people exist in the US that try to undermine our freedom, but first they have to get by 150,000,000 pissed off Americans with guns. No society in completely free, if there were such a country their would be chaos, but in comparison the US in indeed "free". I can talk shit about politicians without mysteriously disappearing, unlike china or Russia. I a lowly student can run for government office and actually win. I can walk down the street without being followed by secret police and if criminals try to rob me I have a handy gun, unlike china. In fact I can do most things here in the land of the free as long as I don't hurt anyone. Its not perfect, but in an imperfect existence, it is as close to perfection you can get so I am perfectly happy to live in the great US of A. Indeed.
Yes I do know about the NSA, if they keep their foolishness up I will strangle them with their own mouse cords.
