- rbanffy 3y agoNot sure what "you" means in this case. I'm not American and I don't live in the US. If it's about the US wanting to hurt me, I don't live in a country rich with oil, but I grew up in one that currently has a government less than aligned with American interests, part of the BRICS that's pushing for dedollarization of foreign commerce in the block. As for a lot of people being really upset about the US, it's not that surprising after invading two countries (one on manufactured evidence about WMD and against the recommendation of the international community), bombing them back to stone age, destabilizing their governments (with the excuse of giving them a "democracy"), and then leaving them to their own luck. And that's all part of what happened this century. I'm not even considering the American involvement in coups, extraordinary renditions, and extra-judicial executions, which generate surprisingly little international outrage, or the much bloodier involvement in South American dictatorships in the 60's and 70's. I really like the people, but I don't trust the American government to always do the moral thing.
