Edit: I did mean to comment on your reply.
What I mean is that the people of a country are not the same as their government. Never was like that, never will be.
Exactly.
And if you read the headline, OP asked about countries, not the people in/from them.
I'm not disagreeing with either of you. Just pointing out you ain't talking about what everyone else is talking about. Like if someone asked what the best Marvel movie was, and you said making a coat out of 101 dalmatians puppies wasn't ethical.
Someone that asks what you're talking about wouldn't be advocating for puppy coats, they're wondering why you thought that was the subject of discussion.
Like you could try to argue Disney owns them both so it's relevant, but it's still a jump that you made on your own.
I commented this earlier: I have no particular dislike for any country. I just don't like some people I know personally or whose actions are known to me.
And I mean just that. I don't see how it would be helpful to anyone to hate on people you actually know nothing about. This simple concept of nations might be alright at the Olympics and such but it is not when it comes to judging a whole nation, meaning hundreds of thousands if not millons of people.
Again, everyone else is talking about Marvel movies and you keep going on about puppy coats...
