What is your point, dissing on Jax's fanart and the flag? In the first place, insinuating that we would support ISIS is tantamount to suicide, and Puerto Rico has a lot of cleaning up to do, lest they become another California that burdens the rest of the nation.
I don't see how you are accomplishing anything here with JAx if you are just going to troll and express hatred for the very country you live in.

There are several things I can take apart from your rant, but I'll start with a few.
One, the My Lai Massacre was not a direct result of official policy, but a result of breakdown of discipline and low morale from poor execution of the war. US troops were simply not prepared or trained for assymmetric warfare at the time, and Washington constantly put impossible demands on them that put a lot of mental strain on them. It also did not help that the VC were using civilians as human shields, which would unfortunately dirve a lot of uniformed soldiers mad from not being able to tell disguised insurgents and terrorists from villagers.
As for Japan, there were many in the military leadership that had no intention of surrendering at all, and were willing to go as far as to try and kidnap the emperor in a coup attempt. Don't forget that these were the same people who slaughtered millions of Chinese soldiers and civilians, not to mention Allied POWs in completely inhumane ways. The atomic bombings still pale in comparison to the absolute body count and cruelty the Japanese imperials inflicted on the rest of Asia.
There are some points of agreement on regime changes, but Afghanistan was a clearer case of a radical Islamic regime that sheltered Islamic radicals who killed millions of Americans and other nationals on 9/11, so you might want to rethink lumping Afghanistan with the others. Also, it was Globalist presidents who did not care about America that got us into those unrelated wars, and their globalist acolytes continue to fight our current president behind the scenes when he tries negotiate and get everyone to back down. However, this is an indictment of globalists across the West that hate and exploit America, not a fault of traditional American values. In this area, your hatred of this country is still misplaced, however sincere your disagreement with the past admins' foreign policies.
On my point, if you spend the rest of your time hating the country that is your home, you're going to be miserable and bitter for a very long time.

Besides, it's rather hypocritical that you call your own home country evil, yet maintain your citizenship and live off the benefits of this society. All I can see from that is virtue signalling and pontification from a position of self-righteousness.

If you hate this country so much, then why do you still live as an American citizen? Either your parents brought you up hating America, or you hate the country to spite them for the work either they or their ancestors did in making their lives here.
You may not think you're miserable and bitter against your own, but that is how you come across to the rest of us.
For your information, just because Iran and Syria are fighting ISIS, does not make them good guys. They are just as evil as ISIS, just with their own ambitions.

Okay, so you disagree with past foreign policy. That is understandable, but saying that you hate your own country and coming off abrasive like that really sends the wrong message to everyone else. It's one thing to say that our past is full of mistakes, but hating your country and letting hatred color your views and life makes for something really ugly.

Wouldn't that be 51, not 52?

Actually, it's 52 since California's possibility of dividing into three. The northern part of California (And some parts of Oregon) would become the state of Jefferson, The entire eastern part would be 'East California' and the rump remains of the California state would remain.
I can send you the link to show you what I mean.
