Right but actual roots / connection to a local community, besides fellow travelers / tourists? I personally never felt more than a temporary resident in most places i've been.

But it's rare and usually conditional. Large sections of the US IC still haven't forgiven Israel for Pollard.

No, I admitted my original comment didn't cover everything it needed to, hoping such a concession would lead to a more civilized discussion. I was wrong, you are more interested in attacking people and defending yourself than discussin

A protection racket implies the "threat" is fake or choreographed. Are you implying China isn't hacking America, or pushing out it's maritime borders, or threatening US allies? These are all engineered threats somehow?
