I don't regard this as a "strong claim" requiring "extra-ordinary proof". Technically it is a claim, I suppose. Many statements are. I strongly disagree that it any of "speculation" or "Ameriphobia". Those are emotional language, strong claims about me that you throw out. I won't go into biographical details why those just don't fit. And they are, yet again, dismissive.
"All countries are the same" Is quite a claim though. You seem defensive.
"require" makes it seem like I'm obligated though. Counterpoint: as the wise man said regarding when someone disagrees with you online and demands you prove your point: "I've known you for ten seconds and enjoyed none of them, I'm not taking homework assignments from you."
Can you? I'm happy to simply continue to hold a different opinion to you.
You are being dismissive of the issue though; and it's never helpful.
> Can you?
Generally the burden is on the person making the positive claim.
> I'm happy to simply continue to hold a different opinion to you.
Sure, I have no qualms taking your opinion as just speculation/belief/Ameriphobia.
> You are being dismissive of the issue though; and it's never helpful.
Strong claims require strong evidence. Without evidence it's reasonable to dismiss.
Dismiss away, you do you.
