Well, without a doubt, what the leader of the country/nation does brings with it a response.
For example, does the world hate America nowadays? (I would say generally, yes) Does the world hate every American ... of course not. Is that anti-American?

Most Jews aren't Israeli though. There are more American Jews than citizens of Israel. So yeah, this kind of thinking is what gets a children's birthday party shot up in Bondi Beach.
In a letter posted to his X account, National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent said that Iran posed "no imminent threat" to the US and claimed that the administration "started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby".
Kent, 45, is a US special forces and CIA veteran whose wife, navy cryptologic technician Shannon Kent, was killed in a bombing in Syria in 2019.

I wouldn't compare Cuba to DTES at all though. Yes, Cuba is very poor, but its population is very well educated -- one of the most educated countries in Latin America IIRC. I know they also send out a lot of doctors to help other countries.
If it wasn't for the US' stranglehold on the country, it seems fairly reasonable to expect they would do a lot better than they are doing now.
Comparing Cuba to the DTES?! That might the the silliest thing I've ever heard.
Have you ever been to Havana or Cuba in general, 6793026?
The Cubans are rich in culture and export more doctors/medical staff per capita than any other country in the world. Havana is a beautiful city, and the country wouldn't be so fucked if the US weren't ratfucking them for the last half century.
Holy fuck.

Finally, the US is addressing the epidemic of domestic terrorists like white Canadian women and 7 year old autistic girls.
Quote:
OTTAWA — A seven-year-old Canadian girl with autism has been detained at a notorious U.S. processing facility since Saturday, along with her mother, according to the husband and stepfather, who says they are both unlawfully detained.
Edward Warner says he, Tania Warner and their daughter, Ayla Lucas, were returning home after a baby shower in Raymondville, Texas, on Saturday. Home for the family is Kingsville, just a few hours from the U.S.-Mexico border. Edward says there was a border patrol checkpoint on the way back in Sarita, where they were asked to show identification documents.
“I presented mine and she presented her Texas driver’s licence, her work visa and her actual visa,” Edward, who is American, told CTV News. “After that, they took her in, saying that they needed to fingerprint her to get more information, and she never came back out.”
...
The mother and daughter are being held at the Rio Grande Valley Central Processing Center in McAllen, Texas. Colloquially known as Ursula, for its Ursula Avenue address, it came under fire during the first Trump administration for housing children in chain-link fencing akin to cages. It reopened in 2022 after renovations that included removing chain-link fencing.
“It’s no place for a seven-year-old to be,” Edward said.
“They’re using, like, space blankets in order to cover up. She’s having to use the mat from the floor to get a proper cover to keep warm. This food is terrible … it’s overcrowded, very loud, and they’re just very stressed out right now,” he said of what he’s hearing from his family, adding that they’ve only been able to have two short phone calls a day.
Trump says he told Netanyahu to halt attacks on energy facilities

By Kevin Liptak
US President Donald Trump says he’s spoken with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and instructed him to stop attacks on Iranian oil and gas facilities.
“I told him, don’t do that,” Trump said. “And he won’t do that.”
Trump previously said the United States “knew nothing” about an Israeli strike on Iranian facilities in the South Pars gas field, the world’s largest natural gas reserve.
But an Israeli source familiar with the attack told CNN on Wednesday that Israel had carried out the attack in coordination with the US, contradicting the president’s claim. A US source also told CNN that the US was “aware” of the strike.

The explanation I got was that striking Qatar strikes right at Donny's pocketbook - the Qataris have given Trump and his son in law Kushner billions of dollars including that $400m 747 so as soon as Iran hit Qatar a phone call was made to Trump to stop his shit.
Everything I've read about Japan tells me they value respect and harmony tremendously. And here this Orange Man is outright disrespecting Japan and her PM in her face:
Gosh I wish I can get some insights on what was going through Sanae-chan's mind at the time...
