Thank you. More people need to make this distinction.

No wonder, when tourists are being thrown into deportation jail for giving the wrong answer at the border…

Two local schools have cancelled their student exchange with American schools this week due to the problematic situation in the US. Both had a longstanding tradition of student exchanges with partner schools on the US.

This is far from the first time. During the George Floyd protests and the height of covid, several countries warned of traveling to the States. I believe the one I remembered distinctly was from Australia. You really want a view of how other countries see us? Just read their travel brochures. They don't hold much back.

so, during the previous Trump term

Just a coincidence /s

I'm having trouble finding it but I remember a foreign travel warning ad specifically for Florida in relation to their gun laws and things like open carry and castle doctrine. It even had a graphic with Florida itself done up to look like a gun. It was to warn people "hey you could get shot by some random asshat and it's legal for them to do in Florida."

USA has had travel advisories for years. You guys can't figure out how to not shoot people.

I will never return to that shithole again!

We're in Canada and we stopped going down years ago. Too many idiots with guns.

There were always travel warnings for the US, specially because of rabid cops.

It is easy when you are German. Just yell „Heil Hitler“ after every question they ask and you will be more than welcome!

This specific reason is slightly different but it's never a bad time to refresh everyone's memory of Tom Lehrer...

Mr. Lehrer is the first person I think of when I read anything about nukes. "We'll all burn together when we burn".

For me it’s Shuntaro Hida. His retelling of when the bomb dropped, and the events he experienced after. The people walking, heads bloated and their flesh sloughing off like bloodied rags.
