    Did Uzbekistan nationalize industries or made the USA mad in other ways?

      Oddly enough they are probably the most pro-EU/US of the central Asian nations, they even host US military bases. Strange choice to put here.

        Maybe it’s just the usual USA arrogance for “third world shithole” or/and “idk where it is, let’s put it here too since we’re asspulling everything anyway”

          Also doing some simple math makes this look completely ridiculous, according to these figures 3.5% of people in Uzbekistan are slaves, that’s higher than some actual slave states during the colonial era.
