Show country from drop-down in edit form Laravel 5.2

I'am trying to show a certian Country from a dropdown list when a user clicks on a certian ID to edit a form.

This is how my edit.blade.php form field looks like:

<div class="form-group">
  <label for="country">Country:</label>
  <select id="country" name="country" class="form-control">
      @foreach(App\Http\Utilities\Country::all() as $country)
          <option value="{{ Request::old('country') ? : $flyers->country }} ">{{ Request::old('country') ? : $flyers->country }}</option>
      @endforeach
  </select>
</div>

This is the result I get. Dropdown Picture

It works, BUT, when u click on the drop down it just repeats That one country that is selected over and over again until it reaches the bottom of the list.

Dropdown with countries repeating

@foreach(App\Http\Utilitites\Country::all() as $country is coming from my countries array I made in my folder. It takes the array and lists all the countries.

Is there a way that it can show my edited form field country, and show the other countries as well without repeating that one selected country over and over again?

You can do something like this:

<div class="form-group">
 <label for="country">Country:</label>
  <select id="country" name="country" class="form-control">
    @foreach(App\Http\Utilities\Country::all() as $country)
      <option value="{{ $country }}" {{ $flyers->country == $country ? "selected" : "" }}>{{ $country }}</option>
    @endforeach
  </select>
 </div>

On this way if one of your values equals the requested value, it gets selected
