Certain Zone 1 Sysops such as my ZC1 predecessor and key members of the NAB
distribution model, at one time have been "all up" in other zone's 
business. Honestly I believe that is the real reason for some of the anti-USA 
rants that end up getting started here. 

Now that those certain individuals are gone, dead or largely ignored, there is
a relative amount of calm after the storm.

"My country is better than yours" type of conversations usually end up going 
into pointless insults. Comparisons to Hitler, Trump sucks, Europe sucks, you
suck, yes but you suck more, I know you are but what am I, type of nonsense.

Nobody wins in the end... just my two cents.
