A couple of things here.

Unlike you, I don't feel the need to parade my credentials in order to put forward my point of view.
As I have said times without number - I do not need direct experience of anything in order to possess, and express an opinion on it.
Your proudly arrayed experience of the U.S. means nothing to me - I have a view about the back side of the moon, I doubt you have experience of that, and it matters about the same amount.
