President Donald Trump, who has been pressing allies to help safeguard the critical waterway, fumed on Tuesday that the U.S. is not getting support “despite the fact that almost every Country strongly agreed with what we are doing, and that Iran cannot” be allowed to secure a nuclear weapon.

There exists cities where the streets are older than America itself.
The locals feel pressure to allow automobile traffic down these roads, and where space allows they generally do. It feels out of place.
I have been to cities like this. I have driven cars in places like this (i lived internationally for a while) and it doesn’t feel right. I don’t have money to travel now, but if I did, I would just walk.
There are cities that people still live in that predate the concept of street addresses and post offices and I have met them, and have had no idea what to put down on the bullshit forms at my bullshit job for their address.

Dude, my house in Denmark is from 1779. Not quite as old as America, but i honestly believe the house will win in the end.
Pretty good odds on that one especially given that the US is more or less actively collapsing and Denmark is well Denmark. Pretty sure you would have a weirdly easy time integrating a medieval Dane into modern Denmark than an 1800s American into the Modern US, especially if it was my ancestors who would probably start robbing trains and killing Mormons again once modernity pisses them off.

In England, I lived in a house built in the early 1600s. It was nice, though there were no longer any right angles or level floors in the place. When I bought a place, I went for something more modern, built in the 1880s.
There’s a pub not far from here that was built in the mid-800s, though it wasn’t always used as a pub.

Yes, and Americans know this is true but they forget how it might change their perspective of the world.
Its like that old joke: two fish meet in the ocean. The first fish says “hey how are ya, how’s the water?” And the second fish says, “what’s water?”
Most of the people I know are working class and can’t travel overseas for vacation (if they even can afford to have one). Seeing it on TV is completely different than experiencing it.
Hey, I never travel without my pickup truck.
Although, I’m guessing that if there is a planet killing pickup there, then it was brought in by the host country or town.
