    I think Laos is the most bombed place ever, at least in terms of density of bombardment, but that was also the US.

    Also don’t forget that they are including 20 years of Jim Crow and a bunch of other shit as the system working well.

      Could have sworn that figure was NK, but I didn’t look it up before posting. I had to include Vietnam because of the barbarism which is geographically and chronologically close to the same conflict to my understanding. It only serves to highlight the horrible horrible way the US acted.

      And absolutely, I am absolutely not thrilled about the apartheid state. Please excuse my focus on the conduct of the US towards the outside world. Shout out to the Tuskegee experiment.

        To be clear, I was just pointing out yet another way what the other poster said was fucked up, not trying to tut-tut you. I’m sure everyone here knows that stuff.

        And the DPRK might have been the most bombs overall, Laos is just the most relative to square mileage of land.
