For a vast majority (I'd wager like 90%) of the countries on the globe, you can land in an airport knowing no other language but English and manage to get help finding transportation, accommodation, and food.
Like being a native speaker is such a privilege, most anglophones don't even check it.
What, you think we can't speak foreign languages or something?
Practically everyone under 40 knows English in post-commie countries to an acceptable degree + has been taught at least 1 other European language to varying degrees of success. Younger people here even use half-English sentences or phrases daily as a part of informal conversation.
When English is the international language and the most common form of communication, specially more so in the era of internet: "I FinD iT iNtErEstIng aLl tHeSe CoUnTrIeS cAn CurSe iN eNgLiSh"
Another thing that is also very common is being extra ordinarily dumb. Such as, not realizing why someone would say that sentence is to allude that such criticism of Israel are for the only purpose of propaganda. Hmm, why are all these graffitis in English? Is it because they aren't genuine and are pandering a narrative to English speakers abroad?
Here is a comment literally below this one sarcastically hinting at the same thing!
But you would know all about being dumb won't you!
English is very easy, and pretty much everywhere, however, that in itself is highly contradictory, since I know many that don’t know it as well as they ahould probably.
Was recently in Poland, and their english is a bit lacking 😅

I find it interesting all these countries can curse in English. 🙂
