Countries Disapproving of U.S. Leadership Triples in 2017

Hahahaha sure. You forgot to mention your support of the Constitution and "American values".

Almost got all the buttons though, good for you.

 

Seems you too can't retain information.

I purposefully REFLECT the idiocy. Malicious attempts at humor to reinforce iconic prejudical bumperstickers is a standard unconscious tactic of many, and a conscious one of a few.

But I do understand the superficial nature of hardcore partisan tribalism. AFterall its an emotion motivation, not intellectual one.

 

Thanks. so good of you to recognize that I do support the constitution, and the values that it expresses. A simple piece of paper which I consider to be the most important document in human history, to date.

And I know this will come as a shock to you, but I just don't give a flying intercourse how dismissive or derisive you attempt to be wrt to my philosophy and the methodologies I use to manifest it in my life. Way beyond anything other than recognizing it as an inevitable reaction for the usual sources.

cheers.

 

Sounds like a petulant teenager - "who cares".

 

Many of us who voted for Trump don't want to "lead" the world if it means displacing millions of people and bombing ancient cities.

Some of us would even like to see China do well with its Silk Road project, as long as they don't eventually send conquering armies along it.

 

In Germany we see your president as idiotic fool.

 

Because Trump put the interests of the US over the interests of those countries.
As he should.

 

Well, they fondle my balls at the airport whenever I want to fly some place, so I dunno. I think because 'they hate us for our freedoms' or something like that.

 

okay fair enough. Bad choice of words on my part. Back in those days we didn't really care what countries thought of us.

People do want commerce with us. Money talks.

This is strange. Of course they care about the public I wasn't aware that is what we were talking about.

I have hypotheses why that changed but thru are just guesses.

Still unsure why Americans should be concerned.

 

I still don't know where I said I didn't care about the thread or where I said I didn't care about anything.

I remember asking a question.

 

Every thus, so why all of a sudden are they more critical?

 

Leave it to white liberal Democrats lamenting that others in the world don't like that the USA is still King Of The Hill and President Trump won't agree to apologize for the USA (or himself) being top dog.

Hitler and Stalin really liked each other too publicly, really yucked it up with huge smiles and warm handshakes. Any President whose goal is to get other countries to like us as his foreign policy goal should be thrown out of office.

USA foreign policy should be as long as we and another country are getting along - or at least the other country isn't causing us a lot of big problems (economically or militarily) - we'll get along just fine. But if they give us a bunch of sh*t truly causing us problems, we'll kick their ass - economically or militarily, whichever applies. There is no reason to give a damn whether other countries "approve" of the United States or our President. NO foreign policy revolves around likability. None. It revolves around self interests and power.

The USA and Americans are wealthy and powerful for one reason - only one reason. The USA was the best kick-ass country on earth - militarily and economically. "Liking us" had nothing to do with it. The Native Americans hated Americans. The Spanish did. The Germans. Italians. For a while the British. Many, many dictators and thugs hate us. The Japanese. Vietnamese. Countries in Central and South America. Mexico hated us. Everyone whose ass Americans kicked in the rise to power hated us - and generally with good reasons too.

Life is a competition. White liberal zippy pinheads believe they were just entitled to be born with everything they want for free. Nothing comes for free. Other countries hating us is irrelevant. The more successful the USA is, the more they will hate us. That's ok. Rather, respect and fear our influence and power. That's what gets it done for us.

 

You're reading more into this question than is stated.

 

good for Germany.

 

Germany is part of a very large club

 

I would have been surprised if the swing was in the other direction. The Jerusalem embassy decision alone is likely responsible for most of it, but if you add Trump, America's anti global warming stance, disparaging remarks of NATO, threatening war in Asia, the election scandal.... then 53 is actually not too bad

Will it change anything.... perhaps, America is a superpower most countries will continue to fall in line.... even with a big fat lip

 

Red Herring Alert! They said they disapproved of our leadership, not that they disliked (or liked) us.

 

Who says their feelings about our leadership are at your expense?

 

We have 200,000 troops overseas and there are 7.6b people in the world. How are we going to protect our interests if we don't have allies willing to help us?

 

They liked Eisenhower and Kennedy. Compared to those two, Trump has strap on balls.

 

Under Trump, America went back to the top in the world pecking order while most countries moved further down in the pecking order.

Of course many world leaders aren't happy campers that America is again the super power in the world.

 

But they are big polished brass balls.

 

7.6b people in the world and 200k U.S. troops overseas. That's one soldier for every 38,000 people. Do you think we should care at least a little what other people think?

Let's say we decide to tell Canada we're not interested in protecting them any longer.

They were involved in the Manhattan Project and have known how to build nuclear weapons for 70 years. The next thing they would do is create a nuclear arsenal and we'd end up with a country on our doorstep having nuclear weapons. Is it better for us to make nice with them or have them a nuclear power we have to consider defending against?

 

Yeah, Trump's a tough hombre.

 

Trump probably spent his high school years sick with fear he'd get his ass kicked.
