if u think this way u + all ppl that follow you r very very bad humans (to put it mildly). first: u dont give a shit about his feelings yet u want himn to respect yours. u r complete ignorant on history of his nation. he literally said his ancestors done great things for his nation and he will not follow someone who want him no matter the cost to spent his time on things that will not make the project better.
at best ur word were very poorly chosen wording on his part.
