No one is saying that the US doesn't have problems, especially Americans. Most of the political commentary is about America on Lemmy and the US's problems. But you are complaining about a specific country's actions from the outside when your own house is on fire. Outsiders looking in and complaining when they are barely any better is pretty hypocritical.

You can complain about America's problems without phrasing it as "Can you US people" which implies a state of superiority and lack of commiseration on shared problems.

Once again, your actions are unaffected by anyone else’s. Those are your choices.

You see how I didn’t even mention a country anywhere in there?

It is generic advice that applies to literally everyone regardless of country
