      Well, for one, I doubt Canada does it, and for another, the Americans at least have the self-respect to own what they’re doing when somebody calls them out on it instead of switching into crybully mode and throw a diplomatic temper tantrum like Modi is.

      I don’t recall Obama ever pulling diplomats and visas from Pakistan when their government was angry about US airstrikes in their country.

      “I didn’t do it and if I did it was justified” just looks childish.

        The US still promotes dictatorships around the world, and in Latin America specifically, while claiming to promote democracy. There isn’t even that much democracy at home.

        The narcissist’s prayer definitely applies to the country that elected Trump, as it does to Trump himself.
