I agree with some of your foundational sentiments, but as long as we're deviating from the topic of discussion, Poland's hands have been far from clean, too, the past 100 years. What Poles did to European Jews was truly horrific (US immorally turned many of them away, but we didn't slaughter them wholesale like many Poles did in places like Jedwabne).
By the way, as you likely know, it's illegal now in your country to even mention the fact that Poles willingly participated in the Holocaust in such places (whereas I'm free to describe My Lai and Abu Ghraib).
Right now, the US has power, and often misuses it just like Poland has at times when it has had power. China often misuses its power. It's almost like there's something to do with power, abuse, and corruption.
> it is that US rallies for some causes where it seems to suit US interests
Let me introduce you to the concept of the nation-state.
> to get obsessed after this one when more kids are dying to malaria every single day or for multitude of other problems.
For the same reason as we treat murder victims differently than people who die from some tragic but preventable disease. Are those two on the same moral plane to you?
> validates the whole point that US doesn't like to acknowledge resentment it gets from most of the world
Interestingly, the US is up and awake, yet you have not been downvoted into grey, and many of the comments disagreeing with you have been. So you were wrong here.
