      Because major events like Iraq, 9/11, even the BS that Trump is doing now, are events that will be studied at school worldwide for their cultural and political impacts. Obviously we hear about that. I bet that you’ve heard about Ukraine, but I doubt that you consider yourself an expert in European news.

      For the sake of an example, I just opened US CNN. The first familiar news is about climate change (we have it too, duh!). Then I see Coldplay, ICE, Epstein, Superman’s movie… if we skip stuff like “Smartphones aren’t safe for kids under 13” that’s all. There is just a minimal overlap with the news here.

      Is that so surprising?
