The world heartily disagrees.
The US has been seen as not just "not the best", but the biggest threat to global peace, stability, and democracy. For about 20 years now.
This isn't the place for ideological flame wars, so please take the above as an invitation to learn how America is actually viewed by the rest of the planet.
- randomopining 3y agoAmazing how you can speak for 8 billion people! I know it's edgy to sit in a relatively safe country in the world and espouse about how bad the US is... but if you were to actually look at the facts of the past 70 years of general US hegemony (nearly 30 of true hegemony) -- most of the indicators are showing the longest periods of peace, economic growth, and lifespans in most of the world. Look at the other 2 candidates -- Russia and China Russia: invaded and annexed part of their neighbor. Brutal destruction of Chechnya. Support of NK with technology. China: autocratic communist cabal. Essentially took Hong Kong by force. Threatening to invade and annex Taiwan by force. The argument is clear, and it's also clear that your edgy "US bad!" stance is sophomoric at best.
