Ted Kaczinsky dropped sixteen bombs, while Ted Bundy didn't drop a single one. I guess that means Kaczinsky is worse?

Ues but thankfully not only two countries exist in the world. Picking between china and the usa is like picking shit with and without corn.

ofc china is the best super power in the world!!!

except if you live in africa... or taiwan... or tibet... or mongolia... or hongkong... or you're a uigur... or you're queer... or you're black... or you're a farmer... or you live in a tofu dreg building... or you like human rights... or free press... or privacy...

should I go on?

you see, china does a lot of bad things that don't require bombs, which the us doesn't, but in return they throw bombs, both are just imperialist genocide driving forces, as most states

also china's not that far away from throwing bombs:

On average? So you just take all bombs dropped by the USA and divide it by the number of days the US has been a thing? Then you compare that to the amount of days China hasn't dropped a bomb?

This makes no sense...

Would China not drop bombs if they faced no consequences and it benefited them?

Idk, they probably have had the opportunity sometimes, but they don't have the same military industrial complex as the USA pushing for it at every chance. So the cost benefit analysis is different. Quite often it doesn't benefit "the USA" as much as a few specific people within, and that mechanic doesn't exist in the same way for China.
