As far as other countries hating us, I couldn't give a shit what they think, they're going to hate us regardless.

I stand by my belief that the fugitive should have been turned over to the U.S. without stipulation. If that pisses you off, that's your problem.
Whatever.

To me, it came off as haughty, arrogant, politically uneducated American trying to shit on Canada for exercising their political power in extradition.

The United States has done it PLENTY of times. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. If we can do it, they should have the right to do it as well.

The end.

And truth be told most countries WOULDN'T hate us regardless as you say. Most countries would love us if we as an American people weren't so arrogant, prideful, rude, and uncultured towards our international neighbors.

Americans always perceive that we should be the only ones entitled to flex our international muscle, but when other countries do it, we wanna wipe them off the math or insult them.Canada is one of the few major countries we have left whose on our side. We really need to keep it that way. Maintaining good relationships with them is KEY. This is why the United States followed their will in the matter. We do NOT need political problems with the independent country that's not only next door but shares a border.

And hell, if the other superpowers in the world ever get tired of us, we're going to need somewhere to run to. And Mexico's water sucks.
