    I don't know much about Slovenia but I would say that it benefited greatly from it's geographical location.

    Actually, Tennessee (especially Jacksonville) has a significantly higher GDP per capita than Slovenia.

    If Germany or the UK were to join the US, they would be among the poorest states. The Scandinavian countries are the only ones that would have a GDP per capita near the American average with Norway being the only one to significantly surpass the average US GDP per capita. A lot of people underestimate how good the US is.

    Typical American ignorance, unfortunately.

    Well, to be fair, the US immigration system is quite selective so even the immigrants who are from "shithole" countries tend to be of the educated elite. That's why the US rarely has issues with legal immigrants.

    For me Finland (my ''main'' home country) is so called ''reference'' or 0-level (as living here). I would still not call it as a good country...just ok.
    And all below of it...?

    Well, I remember few years ago "all" Americans (include an American politician) wanted to bombard Czech R because CNN and other media mistook CzR for Chechnya.
    I have no illusion about their knowledge about Europe/world. But I don't know why are you surprised by that claiming because most WE people would be able to say about Slovenia the same thing.

    Still the core of the problem is somewhere else - politicians (no need to mention the US president) shouldn't use expressions of internet haters/fighters, etc. for any country in the world.

    It was just a couple of retards on Twitter that wanted to bomb the Czech Republic. Many of them even used the term 'Czechoslovakia' because they didn't know about the split. They were laughed at later. Did an American politician really say that? Seems hard to believe.
