@niekvleeuwen I assume they're basing that on violent incidents in those countries within the last few years, but as with any place, it depends on many factors.

I knew a US family who worried about a relative living in France, because.. well, you know. But France is a big place. They just didn't get it. Meanwhile, we have mass shootings practically every week here at home, and they don't seem to think that our own country is dangerous.

It's a baffling kind of stupidity.
