I just believe 1,000% that Americans are our allies and friends and that we would be ****ed without them, yet they are unjustly despised by certain factions in this country, who seem to have no problem with some truly hateful countries who despise us.

Kirk, I'm not anti-American. It's just have higher expectations of my country, of Europe and its allies.
Tbh I thought this thread was more jokey than serious, and I find American flag-waving annoying but in a friendly way.
As someone who'd seen Soviet Union up close and personal, I appreciate America. But want them and us to strive to be better rather than be complacent in their achievements iykwim.
Hell I even agree with Trump when he calls for Europe to step up Nato spending even tho I can't stand the man himself.
