    This is so disrespectful by the Americans…the ignorance is unbelievable

    I’m guessing they did this purposely for politically motivated reasons

    Its called propaganda

    They sure are deceitful those Americans, they shouldnt be aloud to get away with this without heavy media criticism…but then again, those Americans are so good at propaganda and deceiving people that whoever does criticize them will seem like the ignorant one…and also they will make them look unreasonable and uncivilized just for good messure

    It’s pretty disgusting
