America is the Greatest. If you didn’t say that using the voice of Mohammed Ali, do it again, I’ll wait. We’ve freed more people from more places from poverty or just a lack of exceptionalism than any nation in history. So, is that why 35 other countries want to kidnap us?

The US State Department has identified 35 places around the world where your risk of being kidnapped is, well, exceptional.

Travel advisories the following countries have been updated to include the “K” indicator: Afghanistan, Algeria, Angola, Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Colombia, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Haiti, Iran, Iraq, Kenya, Lebanon, Libya, Malaysia, Mali, Mexico, Niger, Nigeria, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Russian Federation, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Trinidad and Tobago, Turkey, Uganda, Ukraine (in Russian-controlled eastern Ukraine), Venezuela, and Yemen.

Why? Because you are the greatest. Your country is the greatest. And don’t you forget it.
