Not only is that statement extremely hyperbolic, it’s deeply offensive to victims of the Nazis

I really cant be bothered citing more

You haven’t cited anything. You’ve made reference to them at best. Saying a thing is not citing it.

Sanctions in general impoverish and kill many. They are a type of light economic mass murder.

So then things like Russia sanctions are bad too? If so what do you suggest as an alternative? If not when do you draw the line?

I think what we actively do and did, is MUCH WORSE.

You made that clear, but you didn’t really express how. Have we been responsible for more death? More negative impact to lives? If that, how is it measured? Does it make a difference how much time it has been going on? If we’ve killed less per year is that better?

If one guy kills your family in front of you, but the other pokes you with a needle every day of your life, who do you have stronger feelings about? Who is the bigger villain?

Yes, America has a history of being terrible, and it doesn’t look like it’s stopping any time soon, but it’s just the most obvious, current bad guy. That doesn’t make it the biggest in history or now. That doesn’t excuse current practices, but it also doesn’t mean hyperbole (real or perceived) is going to help you.
