When Algeria is too woke for you, you should really reconsider things.

It's easy to understand them when you realise that their entire ideology starts at "anything the US does or says is bad" and continues from there.

• The US supports Taiwan and is against China? China good, Taiwan bad.
• The US supports Ukraine and is against Russia? Russia good, Ukraine bad.
• Israel, Palestine, same thing
• Bosnian and Rwandan genocide happened? Well the US says so, therefore they didn't.
• NATO bombed Serbia over their attempted genocide in Kosovo. NATO is the US, so Serbia didn't do anything wrong, but Kosovo is bad.
• And so on, and so on...

It actually seems common for less developed countries to have better internet than the more developed ones. Germans always complain about their internet, for example. I believe the reason is simply that your country laid down lines relatively recently, so they're compatible with high speed internet, while Germany laid down their lines 30 years ago, so they're fairly shitty in comparison. It tends to be a lot harder to convince governments or bosses to replace something that seems to work fine, and it can be costlier too.

Come on now, give him some credit. He waited a whole few days before completely going back on his words.
