No. They’re all terrorists. All states, all nexuses of control, can be defined as terrorists, if we broaden our definition of terrorist to include states and all their apparatuses. In particular, with reference to the state’s effective monopoly on legal violence.
But, amongst those options, you should have the intelligence to choose the least bad.
“The United States is the world's biggest terrorist”, is IMHO almost a meaningless claim. It is true, arguably, but in that case it is irrelevant.
Based on this interpretation, the US is far from the worst powers in our world. In fact it is above the median.
IMO one of the primary ways the US terrorizes is by bombing with impunity. According to its own record keeping, the US has dropped 337000 bombs in the last 20 years, or 46 bombs per day.
Can you imagine living in one of the countries that the US keeps bombing? Every time you hear an airplane you have to think if you're about to die, or someone you know is about to die, or a school is about to be blown up, or a water treatment facility.

No, I can’t imagine it. I’m not even capable of imagining it. I agree it must be terrifying, and soul-destroying in the long term.
