I guess my question is who gave the Americans the right? I say this as an American. But would not the world be a better place if we just minded our own business and quit nation building and stoking non existant fires?

    Please be respectful. Millions of Americans just protested the Trump administration’s policies during the No Kings Day gatherings. Citizens are not the same thing as their administration. Please do not broadly label them the same. Thank you.

        We’re accustomed to the side-eyes. Feel free to continue those.

        (If possible) I’m absolutely going to visit your country and ramble on about how my great-grand-something is from there, and how good it feels to be back, and then I’ll buy souvenirs and permanently incorrectly adopt parts of your heritage that amuse me. That’s all on me. Guilty on all counts.

        But I’m not a fan of my government being a pain-in-the-ass on the international scale.

        As a pain-in-the-ass American, I value having a non-pain-in-the-ass government, so that I can still travel the world and be…uh…myself.

        Uh…I maybe could probably have presented this better…
