Are you really doubling down on stupid here? I can understand you spouting some nonsense about the US b/c you do it all the time and it is understandable that you are ignorant about a country you've never lived in but I pretty much laid out how the de-population of the Native Americans was overwhelmingly from lacking the immune system to handle European diseases versus European or American military campaigns. For an alleged intellectual you sometimes have a real aversion to facts.
Disease killed the vast majority, but millions of natives were murdered and had their land stolen. It was genocide and arguably the worst case of genocide in human history. Also disease was another method used to kill the natives, so in essence spreading a disease ridden blanket was also somewhat akin to stabbing someone with a knife.
