In theory if you get kidnapped by terrorists or something then the US government might try to rescue you.

Kidnapped Americans have much worse outcomes on average than other country citizens.

This is because the US makes it illegal for families to pay ransoms.

As with most things international, not being American is an asset in such a situation.

If i moved away from the us because i misstrust them or whatever reason why would i care about their rescue?

I never thought about my born Country is going to help with anything as i moved away and pay taxes somewhere else. I rather be rescued to “home“

In that case you should probably renounce your US citizenship. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/travel-lega...
