I said it was a very European thing to say, because only a European would stretch that hard.

Merikan company with Merikan investment get the credit. No one cares except Europeans about the interchangable workers residency is.

I'm trying to remember the other case where people lol'd at Europe/Italy for taking credit for something that was clearly invented in the US. I think the person was born there, and moved to the US, but Italy still took credit.

lol no. Its probably even more embarrassing that they left Europe.
