    Soviets have civil war with 6 million losses in their track record lol. I’d like to see what USA has to compete with that.

          Can’t really call a civil war against Tsarists and fascists “killing their own civilians.” Moreover, the US bombed Cambodia more than any other country on the planet. Pol Pot wasn’t a Communist, but he was stopped by the Vietnamese Communists.
