I am not an American, been in US couple of times as a tourist. But I used to believe that US values lives of their citizens. I am not talking about Saving Private Ryan stuff, but take the recent event of exchanging American basketball player detained in Russia to an outrage war criminal in the middle of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. That Bout guy will definitely help Putin to kill quite a lot of Ukrainian soldiers and civilians in the next several months or even years. But US still exchanged him. Now, I am reading the news that tens of people in the US are dying in snowstorms. 49, current official number is. Where are the effort to save them and more? Where are snowplows, bulldozers, helicopters, National Guard, army? Isn't this as serious as a typical tropical cyclone? Or US citizens in Florida and Miami are somehow different from those from South Dakota or Buffalo?
