You are right. Plenty of people don’t like it to hear it and will call it American centric. But the US has to be by far the most talked about country in the world. Some of the talk are the positive things while plenty is negative and neutral observations.

Well their national security depends more on US politics than it does on their own politics. They should care

How about 10 Downing Street. Might be the reason for the blank look

I'm not sure knowing some UK domestic political controversy is necessary to understanding global politics.

Probably similar to the percentage of people in Louisiana who have passports.

Your example was somehow both pretentious and retarded.

That's an achievement.

What kind of house are you and your husband building? And more importantly, who is doing your interior design?

Good old BJ is one of the maybe 5% of world leaders that I know about.

Not that most are even worth knowing.
