I'm sure once you move to the Philippines it will be your lane with all it's ups and downs, you may even wonder why you never took the plunge years earlier.
I have traveled extensively around the world over the last 40 years including 3 trips to the US and wasn't my lane, great as a tourist and there it ended, my home country Oz for 59 years wasn't my lane either and not returned in over 6 years, no need as home is where you make it. The crap and cost of living in western countries has gone beyond a joke and the politics?
Here as a foreigner no one bothers you and you dare not get involved in the local goings on and you will have the best life, unlike our home countries.

OMO.

Cheers, Steve.
 
You sound like someone who is clueless, having never spent time in the US. Merely going off of what you hear in media, and being angered by someone who has no physical effect on you. Why?

It's the same thing that I experienced with Saudis when I worked there. Asking me all kinds of questions about things in the US that did not affect at all, but they felt that they should be emotional about them and react.

And you sound like a typical American who thinks what goes on in America has no effect on the rest of the world.
 
Why should it? It's a person who determines their destiny.

Why is person B responsible for how person A feels because of what they did or said? Person A is the one in control of their own emotions. It is they who choose to be angry or sad or happy over what person B said/did.

Why just the US? Why not Australia, England, China, , Russia? No one person or place should be felt to be in control of others. :)

the tariffs effected the stock market and that effects millions of pensions in the U.K. for those working hard so everyone felt that including people who have investments big or small. we live in very uncertain times.

i never like to generalise as I always feel it’s a tad unfair.

Translation: "So, if the USA attempts to, finally, after 80 years of tariff asymmetry, reciprocate tariffs for fair trade, that is wrong and Americans need to suck it up and continue getting screwed because that is what the world is used to."

Not saying that at all but the effects many suffer they start to view Americans in a different light. money when decisions are made will elevate that feeling. i don’t get involved in that, if someone is kind and caring I don’t care about religion, colour or sexual preference.

me personally, well I did not invest yet and I don’t like pensions so nothing that side has effected me.

No idea why some here (not you) have made personal attacks/angry assumptions, usurping my rightful thoughts on the matter of the deliberate destruction/outright thievery of the current squatters in the WH. I won't even go into the stomping of due-process, military parades, and statements of being a "king". Wilful ignorance can be debilitating and all of the facts in the world sometimes fall on deaf ears. Its not as if this entire bin-fire in the US isn't being covered, at least until the mad king finds a way to crush ALL dissent-- he's working on it. Hard to believe the sheer amount of people who cannot see it and pretend, refuse, or don't care about the domino-effect consequences abroad.

Thank you for the ever-so-balanced, measured, and fact-less post.

A real eye-opener.

Again, "Hard to believe the sheer amount of people who cannot see it and pretend, refuse, or don't care about the domino-effect consequences abroad." I have USA friends and relatives losing what little safety-net they had at all, all to shore up a bunch of wealthy cheats. These cheats don't even need to spread their vitriol themselves-- they have unpaid enablers all over the place.
