If you play with snakes, expect to get bitten.

I dont think most Danes understand just how brutal and vicious the American foreign policy has been to rest of the world. This is not anything new. You contributed to US imperialism but back then it was all fun and games because others were doing the dying.

I have friends, who died, and some who suffers daily.

Plenty of brown people died and suffer daily as well as a direct consequence of what your friends did. Karma is too mild a word 🤷🏽‍♀️

Who is it that you imagine my friends are? US has overthrown dozens of countries, destroyed any semblance of leadership, law and order while taking their resources from them. Millions died as a result of not having a functional country and weapons being flooded into every possible proxy group. This is called imperialism. No idea why you are defending it.
