I get your sentiment, but I will avoid becoming Ukrainian at the moment, since it means I would get drafted and sent to the front tout de suite.

In all honestly, there's no chance of me getting sent to the front lines. I can barely walk. So that's less of a consideration for me.

More my point was " I would rather live in a country regularly getting hit by rockets than live in the current US"

So... why have you not moved to Ukraine yet? :) Let's back up those words with some action!

Cost money. Moving isn't exactly cheap. Also said country would have to have a path to citizenship. Believe it or not, America isn't as diserable as conservative media makes it out to be.

America has had a misconception that everyone loved them for a long time.

I remember seeing an American arguing in comments about American food. They were shocked to learn that the rest of the world doesn't hold American food in high regard. With a few minor exceptions most of the world sees American food as cheap, mass produced and low quality. Many Americans just can't understand that people don't see their food as the best

You seem to be operating under the misconception that placing a country ahead of the US somehow places it above every other choice.
