    I have romanian and italian citizenship. Want to say is better to have romanian for Africa or Asia than italian.
    It depend where you want to go. I don't have intention to go to USA or Canada, so eastern Europe passport is better for me than western EU passport.

      @@mattball7074 everything is very nice in Australia. They have high quality standards for everything.
      The coffee here for example is better than anything you will find in Europe because each shop puts a lot of training into staff on how to make the milk right, when to stop the water running through the beans, what kind of cups to use, what the ideal temperature is etc. It's hard to find a coffee shop that doesn't follow best practice rules. It's the same for everything, in fact they have laws regarding most jobs to ensure work is done to a very high standard. The construction industry here is highly regulated compared to Europe to the extent that we aren't allowed to use imported materials because they aren't AS certified (just ISO which isn't good enough here). Footpaths and roads here are also never broken. The government keeps all infrastructure in perfect condition even though the cost doesn't meet the benefit. Also they are trying to put high speed internet everywhere even though it's not cost effective to put that infrastructure in the middle of the bush for the farmers.
      The trade off for all the luxury is that the government thinks they control everything. When covid started I was about to go to Bulgaria but then I saw they had very harsh lockdowns and was surprised that Australia was more liberal. However that was only because we had no cases. As soon as we got an outbreak the government locked us all down and most people support it because heavy government regulation is part of aussie culture.

    EU elite tells the poor countries,"No, it doesn't violate the reciprocity "... Having a solid plan B is important. I owe to Andrew as I learned it from him. I am an immigrant who adopted the US as his home and is fully aware that the US has her ills-plenty of them, but it is still a better country when it comes to immigrants assimilation. I have gone to Sweden and western EU countries for work for the past 13 years and I don't always think that it is that great for immigrants. Societal safety nets, yes, other perks yes, but when it comes to upward mobility, there is still nothing better than the US for non-whites.

      I agree! And when I tell people that I will get rid of my Swedish, they tell me that I'm nuts. The problem that people cannot see, is that citizenship is an investment like anything else in this world. I have seen how Sweden has deteriorated over time. If an Afghani or Iraqi passport is shit, then Swedish passport will be the same in a couple of years. Meaning, in pure mass balance calculations: shit out = shit in. Simple mathematics. And Sweden takes in a lot of shit

    Andrew, have you heard of anyone getting citizenship by decent not based on direct ancestry with documentation stretching up to 2nd or 3rd generation, but instead based on genetic descent argument with laboratory testing results serving as evidence? I know that is true for some native american tribes here in the US (all that's required to gain membership is 1/64th genetic ancestry). I am specifically interested in the Caucasus -- Armenia, Georgia, etc.

    For me the best passports to have would be Belarus, Russia, and China. With these passports I can go to all the countries I really want to go visa free. This means I can travel to Brazil, Iran, China, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkey, Albania, Kirgizstan, Uzbekistan, VietNam, Laos, Cambodia, Belarus, Myanmar, Thailand,Cuba, Indonesia, Egypt, Somalia without needing to acquire visa before i travel there. Plus people do not hate Russians or Belarussians like they do Americans. When people ask me where I am from I lie to them and say Russian because i do not want to risk problems. If i could get a passport that allows me to travel to North Korea, Syria and Turkmenistand without a visa i would be able to go to all countries i love most. I love listening to Gurganbuly Berdimuhamedow music videos. He is so much more entertaining than Justin Bieber who is the epiphany of music from the West

    Requesting advice for my 45 year old San Diego USA friend who still to this day has Never had any passport. Over the past 6 years I keep trying to motivate him to get his passport so he can leave the USA since he constantly complains about the USA libtards. But he gets so defensive every time I mention it and makes excuses and says things like “Anyone can cross the border at Tijuana MX without a passport, so I don’t need one”. Then when I ask “How will you be able to go anywhere else from MX or return to the USA without a passport?”, he refuses to answer the question. He is very poor and has always and continues to share a small apartment with other roommates and often collecting unemployment benefits to pay for his room rent while he constantly complains about the libtards. He can’t afford a place of his own. I want to help him get out of the rut but he refuses to get his passport. Can anyone reading this please tell me why do you think he is behaving this way?? It doesn’t make any sense to me why he doesn’t simply get his passport. Thanks.
