No. 70 as I'm looking at post-WW2. The US were still the good guys in WW2. Same reason why I'm not mentioning Nazi Germany.

Although one can say that the US stopped being the good guys when they nuked Japan.

Just ignoring all the murders in Hungary and Poland as well.

They're a shill, it's fine.
