>>43034598Foreigners have this queer idea that it's very important for world superpowerians to learn about a country with a handful of people in the middle of nowhere, when neighboring Russia and China are quite literally all you need to know about northern asia since the rest of them aren't strong enough or have the will to be powers unto themselves.
I would also guess the education systems of small countries do have a section focused on the history of powerful countries like the USA, so they mistake the necessary knowledge to function in a world dominated by several major powers as superior education to those major powers, when in reality most americans just need to know how to not shart in mart.
