Isn't it funny when someone who has never been to a certain country...
Thinks they know more about it than someone who is actually from that country? 🤣🤣🤣

It sounds like you live in the Midwest. That's where I live. (Big city - Chicago). Anyhow, a note to everyone who thinks US citizens don't see what goes on over there...there are places where you are not allowed to go to, whether you are a countryman or visitor. If anything is going on in these spots, you won't be able to visit said trouble spot.
I just read something recently that partly answers this. A prime example was the Berlin Wall when it was still standing. An American History teacher and his class went to visit the site. They were stopped, searched, and held for several hours before they were allowed to camp - but they had to do it on the East side of the wall and were under guard all night long.

@MaryJanine yep Midwest. What said spots are you referring to?

Nothing SPECIFIC … but if there's riots or protesting, or even war, in an area, people in Europe won't take visitors there for safety's sake. That goes for our side of the pond, too - remember the Neo-Nazis and their disruption of the statute dismantling in Charlottesville, Virginia?
We didn't welcome visitors down there for awhile afterward.
