Originally posted by Starlight View PostThat's a hard question for me, because I have never considered the question.Americans do seem to care about how other countries perceive America. e.g. under Bush and Obama there was talk about whether the presidents' actions "emboldened our enemies and undermined our allies". Yet Americans seem to pay very little attention to what other countries actually think, despite paying lipservice to the idea. e.g. multiple conservatives in this forum sincerely believed that Obama was regarded badly internationally and that Bush was regarded well.Enter the Church and wash away your sins. For here there is a hospital and not a court of law. Do not be ashamed to enter the Church; be ashamed when you sin, but not when you repent. – St. John Chrysostom

I recommend you do not try too hard and ...research as little as possible. Such weighty things give me a headache. - Shunyadragon, Baha'i apologist

Originally posted by Starlight View PostAmusing article about a poll done of some of the rest of the world. If these countries got to vote, they would vote Clinton over Trump by:
Mexico: 97-3
Germany: 88-12
France: 86-14
Canada: 78-22
Aus & NZ: 76-24
UK: 73-27
Russia: 23-77
For comparison, in 2012 Romney got 75 in Utah and Obama got 72 in Hawaii. So most of these countries are more strongly pro-Clinton than even partisan US states tend to be.
