    Is US passport the most useless passport in the world?

    It seems like these days everyone is avoiding Americans like a Chinese plague. It also seems like Americans receive a better covid treatment in Serbia than back home as witnessed by a bald YouTuber from the link posted the other day.

    The question is.... Would you accept American passport even if it was offered to you with no strings attached?

    Before you answer think of the morons who post here.

    Now discuss.

    Not according to this, 20th:

    Global Passport Power Rank | Passport Index 2020

    Interesting to see NZ at #1 with Japan.

    Funny thing is Americans seem to be the closest thing to Muslim extremists. Everything is either left or right and wearing or not wearing a mask is only a political statement. Never mind social responsibility.

    The time has come to bow to Chinese masters.

    I'm picking up mine at the end of the year . . . . . . four and counting. Kiwi one is cheaper to renew, so I'll be travelling as aKiwi as of January.

    The only strings are tax-related . . . otherwise you'd be a fool, or Serbian, not to.

    Millions of people in the world would be clamoring over one another to get a US passport. Keep in mind it was much higher up the list on Ant's link before 2016. The orange moron has been slapping visa requirements on many friendly and allied nations to push his bullshit agenda those countries respond in kind with their own visa restrictions. It is pretty obvious why it has fallen down the list to any thinking person.

    Another shit thread by the OP.

    It depends on how you rate a passport. Although more visa free countries are convenient. It's when you get into trouble that can make the difference in the country shown on the passport.
    New zealand as Ant points out has the most visa free countries, however a low number of consulates and embassies, which means citizens can be a long way from help if in trouble. NZ only has about 50 consulates and Embassies and although Serbia has more visa free countries than the USA they fair only a little better than NZ with 68. The USA in comparison has 169 Embassies alone and 128 consulates worldwide which mean you are likely to be near help.
    Again if you are in trouble, which countries Ambassador will carry the most influence? I think NZ and Serbia carry a wet lettuce leaf, whilst the USA carry a fooking big club.

    ^ Very valid points.

    Hence . . . one or two Euro ones are a necessity.

    If you're travelling the Americas, probably a useful passport. Otherwise no big deal.

    Same here, stuck in Florida, looking at my Thai home through the webcams. Sad.

    Other than that. nothing wrong with my passport. Normal I can travel almost anywhere in the world at a moments notice, without a visa.
    Not sure what the Op is getting at.

    Anyway, proudly carry your US passport to Israel- you'll be showered with bouquets. I'd be a lot more discrete in other places though.

    Yea . . . nah. Israelis generally are not too fond of American Jews coming to the country, especially to live.

    I supported Trump over Hilary during the campaign.

    I changed my mind long time ago.

    I am allowed to change my mind.
