My point is, who knows what would happen in any given country? On this board we just have people being childish and waving their nationalist dicks around, cherry picking photos & "facts" that suit their little agenda. People like CyberSEO remind me of some right-wing Americans I know, they love to flood any discussion with selective information confirming that the good ol USA is the chosen land and anything that questions this is like water off a duck's back. They're just incapable of absorbing that possibility. Though in part he's just trolling.

The world is complicated, people are complicated, I just hope this latest truce can move forward and the situation stabilizes.
