On behalf of all Americans I'd like to apologize for that message even being felt as necessary.

Rest assured, 85% of us still don't know they are two different places. Even after being told it, they will forget in 30 seconds anyway while playing candy smash or whatever the game is today.

I still can't believe that the US federal government didn't step in when the Russians invaded Georgia a few years back.

When the US invaded Iraq, I was watching a TV quiz show where they were asking random people some questions on the streets and when it came to geography, the real tragedy occured. Americans didn't know where Iraq is, most of them were pointing to Australia on the blind map they got. Or there was a question to name at least three contemporary communist countries and people answered with Germany, UK or Spain. There was a woman who didn't know what London is. etc.. etc... A constant facepalm.

Ask me anything about London; I know all about London. Fergie did a video there!

To be fair, this question has very limited answers. I had to Google it to check myself, and there are only four countries that truly qualify as Communist: Cuba, China, Vietnam and Laos (I wasn't aware of Laos). I'm guessing there are plenty of politically savvy people who wouldn't get this one right.

I remember seeing screenshots from various websites with people living in Atlanta or other cities asking if they should pack up because the Russians invaded Georgia. And they didnt want to get caught in the war between our military and the Russians lmao.

Yeah if you told me there were only 4 I would have guessed North Korea instead of Laos.

According to Wikipedia:
Democratic People's Republic of Korea (since 1948); Many people, especially in the west, would describe the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) as a Communist state. The DPRK has actually claimed that its so-called Socialist system was chosen by its people as a defence to human rights allegations, thus justifying it when the DPRK is labelled as "Socialist". The government's official ideology, on the other hand, is now the Juche policy of Kim Il-sung, as opposed to traditional Marxist–Leninist communism. In 2009, the constitution of the DPRK was quietly amended so that not only did it disavow all Marxist-Leninist references present in the first draft, but it also dropped all reference to 'Communism'.

Shit will still stink once you unwrap it from the perfume box.

I did not realize that Laos was still Communist, nor that North Korea is officially not considered Communist.
