Exactly. The countries she named had/have a total breakdown of society. There are a lot of regions in Africa I'd rather live in than in the desolate regions of the US. I always ask someone like this about the average life expectancy in Africa. They're probably way off, and Africa makes big strides.

Yes they failed to list any that also have the highest birth rates but aren’t struggling at all with civil war, pestilence, famine or natural disasters.

I can tell one, Afghanistan. There is another item for the list: absolute misogyny and religion.

Yes but that’s Asia.

I think they really wanted to say the West is best though. And had they decided to zero in on Asia they’d surely point to Afghanistan as an example of where not to live and they’d completely ignore the West’s involvement in the country’s state.

Probably yes. But Afghanistan 🇮🇳 had 🇮🇷 never 🇲🇳 any 🇨🇳 involvement 🇹🇷 from 🇬🇧 other 🇷🇺 states 🇺🇸. I forgot some and it's not the right order...

Sure, that was only to complete the list: civil war, pestilence, famine or natural disasters.

Yes it’s definitely an example of a place that was decimated by US war.
