Given that the US is the only country in recent memory whose politics have shifted from "pretty normal for a western nation" to "unpredictable rogue state", it's not as though the list of "countries to avoid" changes that often. Countries like Russia, Iran, and China have been very consistent in their philosophies and actions; countries like France, the UK, and Japan have also been pretty consistent. The only real change lately is the US. | ||

On a similar note: There was a period post-Brexit when I hadn't moved away from Ireland yet during which I also did my best to avoid UK produced goods too. Now that was a lot harder though due to the UK still being in the single market at the time, and on top of that just how integrated supply chains between the north and the rest of Ireland are. I'm cautiously optimistic that the UK is moving back toward sanity though. | ||
