The West went bonkers and due to its brainless leaders now it's lost its hegemony! People responsible for some of the worst atrocities in the history of mankind to patronize the rest of the world how to change "for better" using it as a model was a total failure! I am from the Balkans, i.e. much closer to the Western culture, yet I don't like being patronized - and I can imagine how much more distant nations feel about the Western ideological, financial, and military grip! If the West wants to seed freedom around the globe, it should start with the freedom of not twisting arms and let them freely choose what's best for them and stop patronizing! And as they say - fix your backyard first!
- mistrial9 4y agobut you get Kentucky Fried Chicken, Enterprise Rent-a-Car and Western Union immediately.. like weeds in the field. Plus, everything is written in Latin script AND the dollar / Euro. </s?>
- kylehotchkiss 4y agoKFC is doing much better in BRICS countries than it is on its home turf.
- yucky 4y agoWell yeah, because we have Popeye's too, and they don't.
- seanmcdirmid 4y agoThere is a Popeyes in Hong Kong airport.
- EvanKnowles 4y agoWe have Popeyes in South Africa, we just don't like it.
- kylehotchkiss 4y agoYou guys have NANDOS which I am always sincerely thankful for, but don’t get many chances to visit living in west coast US.
- nikolay 4y agoI've never set foot in KFC. After 23 years in the States, I've been 2-3 times to Mickey Dees. I do frequent In-N-Out though. But it's not particularly amazing - I've had much better food meaty food in the Balkans - especially in Serbia and Montenegro!
- nikolay 4y agoThe first ever rent-a-car company is German (Sixt). Enterprise sucks. I've never used WU or Moneygram - didn't need given the other options. We use the Cyrillic alphabet and local currency and most of us reject joining the Eurozone. Anyway, you don't get my point. People lived healthily and happily before these "improvements" of life, driven by greed and hunger for power. When you ignore child mortality, people didn't live much shorter lives on the Balkans before - didn't need a bunch of meds to deal with chronic disease either. Anyway, the good thing is that many Westerners have started to realize this too recently - progress does not necessarily improve life, but you become so dependent, i.e. less free and happy!
