      I’ve got no problem with anti US, they’ve got some of the most backwards systems in the world.

        I think both is idiotic, one a lot more than the other of course.

        While usa has some backwards stuff its still more democratic than a lot of other countries and it benefits my country to have them as allies and friends.
