Things are always calm and normal in the US while we’re at war with another country.
I think that’s why we’re always at war, and why the effects on oil prices get all the attention. That’s the biggest conceivable effect of the war on most americans in their minds.
It’s like Europe is the city where all the people have to live with one another, and the US is the mansion out in the boonies with almost no neighbors, and the inhabitants are dicks to the few neighbors they do have.
My older brother is about to go to China for like matchmaking and stuff and then if he finds someone, they’re gonna marry and then he’s gonna apply for his (hypothetical) wife to come to the US…
So yeah, that’s irl
(Context: My family is originally from China, mom be pressuring him to marry cuz “if he gets too old nobody would marry him” lol (he’s 28 btw))
My aunt who are like “middle class” still goes abroad on vacations all the fucking time, its just bussiness as usual for them… I never hear about a border entry denial when they come back…
(That said, I’m paranoid so I’m not gonna risk exiting since I don’t wanna risk not being allowed back in)
why would any thinking person travel to murica now?
My husband is American, and his whole family gathers for Easter every year. We return to Thailand next week.
Wow, you’re brave! They’re in a war!

TBF, the US is always in a war.
What a tumultuous regime!
Its an American war, the kind where Americans only notice or care by their prices going up.
Uhhh I mean the country itself is fine(ish) the war isn’t on our land it’s in Iran.
