The reasons why I don't see US democracy as an example
a) only two viable options (and in recent times, two unpopular options) - a real democracy should have more options for voters to choose from
b) The influence of big money donors on campaigns, which is IMHO basically legalized corruption.
Well summarized. My thoughts as well.
Religious nationalism
You also forgot to mention that the only 2 viable options are actually very similar in their policies and ideology, compared to most other democratic countries. Both the republicans and democrats are right wing, and as a UK voter, to me this would be like only being able to choose between reform and conservatives.
@@mrm7058 America democracy wasn't never good to begin with.
@@ultracapitalistutopia3550America has everything ftom religious nationalism and wokeisum
US citizens themselves have low opinion of the country. It doesn’t surprise me that most countries don’t think America is as competent as it has ever been.
I live in California and it’s true. We don’t think the media or politicians care about what’s going on. They just care about the next election cycle. Nothing changes. We are living from cycle to cycle fighting over everything and nothing. And we all know we are heading in the wrong direction
I mean I'm lucky enough to travel for work and this sentiment has been seen pretty much everywhere I've gone.
The US is titanic and no one disagrees its powerful but its politics and social issues are so crazy for a first world nation that it really undercuts its reputation.
No. I don't have a low opinion of the country, just the current leadership.
I think most western countries have a low opinion of themselves
@@spaceowl5957exactly bro. White folks are ashamed of themselves. All they do is complain to each other. I think I’ll get deleted.
Falls by an average of 4.3%. Title: COLLAPSE
this has just started
I'm really shocked that it's not higher tbh. The selective application of international law by not just the US but the entire West should not be taken lightly
My opinion of the US went down about 90% in the last 4 years. No borders. The slaves are running free and destroying everything. Zero global credibility left.
All US has is some momentum in services that will soon die off. The US dollar is a joke almost as big as Zimbabwe now.
Yes, it is clickbait. 🙄
@@ricaard6959 What do you suggest be done?
Sounds like America's best friend should be changed to Poland. 🇺🇲🇵🇱
why? do you think your best friend is the one that supports you the most matter what you do? that's just illogical because it never involves self-reflection the thought that maybe you do something wrong
Or Kenya. Well not the government, the government is 💩. But the people aren't.
I agree, Poland is better
@@fixponttPoland supports the usa because they remember what life under tyranny is like and how the usa saved them from it. Maybe the rest of europe needs to be reminded so a little gratitude will return to that sad continent
@@STEP107 this is a complete non-sequitur
as a Pole, as long as the U.S. stands against Russia, the American favorability will remain high here
If Polish people really think like that then I feel bad for this level of delusion
FUCK YEA OORAH POLISH MAN
Thats BS, TRUMP is less anti-Russia than Biden or Obana and he is way more popular. Poland will support the Nationalist Right.
same with the baltics and in the east as long as US stand against China. Japan, South Korea and the Philippines will view the US more favorable.
Then just wait till Trump win and settle things down with Russia
That video is a bit light on analysis
Lol
😂
I would rather say that analysis are very poorly done.
We don't have much real commentary now. Thierry Baudet once described it perfectly: "listening to most media is like listening to sports commentary from a commentator who doesn't know anything about the sport they're describing"
Better than every other mainstream sources though.
Its all from talking too loudly on the train
Facts
have you been to southern europe? they’re louder than any american
@@siohunndai can't say I share this opinion
Americans don't have trains. There is no etiquette for it in the US.
We have trains and the loudest people on them are dutch
Well the US still have Hollywood and popular culture. Their soft power will remain so long as people still enjoy their entertainment media
Hollywood? Only American watch those craps
Yea lets keep watching those live action remakes or sequels that sure is creative
Hollywood won't last that much longer if they keep making shoddy remakes and sequels nobody asked for and giving priority to shallow, performative diversity box-checking over interesting characters and quality storytelling.
@@VodkaPandas what do you like watching then?
@@efraimgarcia7876 not saying they don't have problems, for sure they do. But the truth is, it still makes money, most popular films for the masses and the biggest studios in the world are still American. No other country is anywhere close to the worldwide scale of American studios. Although, the Koreans have been killing it lately in the global box office

@@bjoardar TLDR is an information channel and as a consumer I want to have an easily and fast accessible links to the sources. Any high quality channel on YT should have that.
P.S. I did found the sources, but I wish as someone responsible as TLDR linked them themselves. This is a no brainer of a task.
@@Ugapiku TLDR should link it in their description. This, I agree with, but you asking people to link in the comments when youtube deletes such comment left and right ... how would you even know if someone complied with your request before you caps-lock curse at them for not complying?

Another way of saying it is "global views on the us have been declining for decades, with a small bump when they replaced the monkey with the corpse".
It will take another massive dip with the second term of the orange baboon.
Hahaha so accurate good one
Poor choice of words
These aren't even global views. Look at that map. Pew 'global' polls have always been far from global, and this is no different.
"Geographically spread"
Mate aren't most of these countries close US allies?
They are indeed. It's especially telling in Africa, where the few countries selected are the ones most positively benefited by american foreign policy. I guarantee that had they included countries such as Egypt, Algeria, Somalia, etc. They would have seen drastically different results. And the fact that worldwide there are no Russian or Chinese allies included, not to mention China and Russia themselves, There' no doubt in my mind that these results were intentionally skewed in the USA's favor.
@@MD-rl9krit was already covered that the muslim ruled countries don’t like the war in gaza.
@@4m4n40 Yes, but not in the original polls. The TLDR team pointed that out, but they didn't organize the polls shown in the beginning of the video, and if you look at those polls, they suspiciously didn't include any Muslim majority nations. I'm saying that those original pollsters had a pro-American bias, not the people who made the video.
Pew 'global' polls have always been far less than global. This one is actually better than most, but still far from global.
That's not what Geography means
I don't like the US, but dislike China and Russia more.
I prefer Russia and china
I’m the same. For all its faults, the US is still a Christian democratic country and holds up western values. Unlike China and Russia.
The US is far, far, FAR worse than Russia and China
@@Fr3nchFlag "US is still a Christian democratic country and holds up western values" lmao what christian values would those be? transgenderism and imperialism?
China is less assertive on ideology and militarily
This doesn’t really mean anything
Keep thinking that when we ditch the dollar and you notice that USA have no real industry anymore (let China produce everything thinking USA would leave off white collars jobs)
Now you have no money, no production and no friends beside the J&ws and those arent very well know for sharing and good deals 😂😂
Reputation and credibility are literally the only things that matter... World's superpower elected leaders talking about golf during the debate... 🤡👈🤦🏻♂️🤣😭
US foreign be like: pendulum, but crank it up to 1000.
Pendulum, but it's doing full circle rotations.
This Russian troll needs to get a better translator.
As an American, the polarization is definitely the biggest problem with our country now in my opinion. Although to be fair I think other countries (and also in the states) mostly receive news that over-sensationalizes the problems within the US.
And yes we're also sorry for talking way too loud everywhere we go in Europe
I moved to the UK from the US a couple years ago. People in the states are just too turnt up. They need to take whatever they are at (assume that’s a 10), and crank it down to about a 6. Just everything… volume, consumerism, insane energy, social media… just chill
I mean, yes, you have your first amendment, but it doesn’t mean you have to freaking annoy everybody with your opinions. And learn to be more informed about the rest of the world. Americans and America media are way too isolated
Also, I do agree with your point… people’s perception of America in general are a bit skewed. They really only think about mass shootings and other insane things and build perceptions around those things
The Americans I met here in Hungary weren't loud. Do not apologize for that. The problem is that Obama was the last president that could be taken seriously. Since then your foreign policy has been borderline unpredictable. Before 2016 a change in leadership didn't mean a 180degree turn in foreign policy. Now combine that with the rising threat of a nuclear war.
Edit: Also that debate certainly didn't help.
To be honest, I think the long delay in sending aid to Ukraine may be as important as the response to Gaza. Delaying support to a nation widely seen as fighting for its existence due to domestic squabbles wasn’t a great look. Particularly when that nations survival and the defeat of its adversary is in America’s strategic interests. Along with Trumps statements about leaving NATO members to Russia if they don’t pay 2% of GDP on defence, this made a lot of allies less than sanguine on the US. The fact that even with an aid bill blocked Biden did not send as much aid as he was allowed to to Ukraine made it more a general American annoyance rather than a specific one on the Republican Party.
I dont agree about aid for Ukraine as support for Ukraine is only really high in the west, in the global south its low or in some cases pro Russian
@@jimpaddy79To a degree, sure. However, in several nations which depend on American support against China, such as the Philippines and South Korea, and where support is generally high, it has dropped a few points. These nations don’t have much stake in either Gaza or Ukraine specifically. But they are likely to be concerned if they see the US withholding aid to nations it has promised to support due to domestic politics. Since they depend on US geopolitical interest in stopping a large opponent by supporting its smaller neighbours. If the US can be distracted from Ukraine, they are likely to be concerned that it could get distracted from them
Egging a fight between Ukraine and Russia and then wanting to wiggle out is what did it.
@@pottertheavenger1363 It was Russia who started the war, not anybody else.
@@diogorodrigues747 because they felt cornered by NATO.
This one felt.... incomplete?
Tho can't blame them, the UK one was much better edited and really fast considering the elections was just mere hours after publishing the video, so maybe they where already overworked

What do you think was missing
The data sets were so fucking skewed lol. Just look at the graph at 6:30 ish. The bars use two different scales to make things seem way closer than they are
@@rachebrother5349 for example the lukewarm military support for ukraine. that one had way more effect than gaza. just saying: its cause gaza. is lazy and only looking back to the last new thing while multiple things are going on
The United States is currently going through a political realignment. The last major one was during the 60s, which was exacerbated by the Vietnam War. Your traditional reliant voting blocks are now ebbing and flowing.
Unions, for example, used to be staunch Democrat supporters, but they are now swing voters because party leaders have caved to Progressive pressure on open borders and Green policies. The business elites used to be staunch Republicans until Trump levied tariffs and threatened a NATO exit. They are now also swing voters. We're seeing a slow matriculation of minorities switching from Democrat to Undecided. They can't stand Trump, but they also feel the Democratic Party has taken advantage of their votes with no change in return for far too long.
We'll get through this. We always do.
Progressives in America? Yeah, right...
Uncle Sam is a one-armed man. He only has a right hand.
I've seen no data saying "They can't stand Trump", though I'll concede that his record-high numbers with various groups could be incidental with this shift.
The party leaders have most certainly _not_ caved to progressive pressure on "open borders" or anything close to it. But I think that there is a perception that this is true, which is toxic.
@@unconventionalideas5683The democrats have become more pro union this administration, but that hasn’t been reflected in voters.
@unconventionalideas5683
>tahxic
ok
What do you call the situation at the boarder if not "Open"?
@Maelstromme probably becase of his using the military as labor to strike-bust and the mass influx of labor from all over the globe.
Is it a trend if You’re comparing a one year difference?
I dunno about that, US is viewed quite positively in Vietnam and my country is not on the list. This list seems to be quite limited in scope and range.
Perceptions of the US go up and down all the time around the world. This video is a bit of a nothing affair, made to clickbait.

@@Liebestod0001 It's scaled because the highest approval is 55%, and highest disapproval is 93%. They wanted the two sides to look similarly sized, regardless of how true it is.

The only country that surprised me is Australia. Why is there a 60% unfavourablility compared to just a 40% favourability? Australia is one of USA’s biggest allies along with Canada, UK and New Zealand. Australia is even more willing to join USA’s side in groups like AUKUS than Canada is.
Depends on who were surveyed. There's a pretty loud free Palestine movement at the moment so that could have impacted the survey.
@@AvoidTheCadaver I don’t really think it’s that as the Palestine movement is happening in other countries like Canada and the UK too and they didn’t have such a drop in favourability ratings. Reading more about Australia, it seems like the new Australian government is more keen to reestablish its relationship with China and Australians along with New Zealanders now enjoy visa free travel to China. I think this pivot to China might have played a part.
As an Australian id say a large part of our negative view would have to be a general trend of consolidated usa government power and the choice of 2 shitty presidential candidates, one going senile and the other in a criminal trial.
Here in Australia we have more options to choose from, although with 2.large parties we at least have options.
It also doesn't help that australians have tall poppy syndrome where we "cut down people that have more success" and generally dislike people with a headstart or unfair advantages
It doesn't help that practically every us politician we see sucks and has been in congress for their entire life
I think Trump and to a lesser extent Biden just seriously rub people in politics the wrong way. While that's true in almost every country it's seems to be taken more alot more personally.
@@saltvault8943 completely agree, and considering our democracy is one of the worlds strongest, seeing the collapse of American democracy makes us more worried about China, we don't trade with China because we want to, we trade because it is more convenient for us.
I've always had critical views of the US, but if I had to choose between them, China and Russia, it would be the US any day.
Exactly, Australia for example might have had a drop in opinion of the US, but I guarantee their opinion of China and especially Russia has dropped further. It's just cringeworthy watching the US fuck themselves up so much
Such a Colonised Mindset. Why does you have to be Vassal to any country? How about a world without Blocs or Spheres of Interests. Instead all countries negotiate Bilaterally based on their native Interests
@@priceprice_baby Australians have never cared about Russia. Except for when USA couped their PM and trampled their Sovereignty to spie on the USSR.

USA offers NOTHING to Australia economically and noone in Australia truley expects USA would come to their Defense unless USA's Defense was also threratened. There are no Americans in Australia. The only Americans Australians interact with is through Netflix or Twitter.

Divide and conquer way of thinking (team A vs team B), awful president, past actions, moral decay on a social level.
How is any of this "moral decay" new? 100 years ago we were effectively operating as a apartheid state. The working poor were crammed into tennement houses and children working 10+ hour days, all under the guise of a "Christian" society.
Ok 15 year old/boomer
You’re right. There is a moral decay. Morals have been replaced with corporations. We don’t act in ways that are right or wrong. We act in ways that make money for one corporation or another. You’re losing the forest for the trees bud. Don’t get caught up in culture war BS. It’s only there to distract you from the fact that this country is being sucked dry by the wealthy.
@@kattapp He's right tho, the extreme polarity in the political system is bound to cause a collapse. People generally do not vote for smaller parties as a result of the two party system, because they feel like their vote is insignificant. Lobbying also plays a huge role, politicians can be easily swayed causing their supporters to feel betrayed.
@@kattapp Ad hominem from a furry? Ironic.
EGREGIOUS VISUAL DATA MISREPRESENTATION (the graph at 6:30) - Not only do you have a typo in the title of the graph, but the "approve" (green) bars do not use the same scale as the "disapprove" (red) bars. Look at Canada, where 34% "approve" is larger than the 55% "disapprove", same trend is in Germany 40% far larger than the 54%, Thailand, Phillipines, South Korea, South Afrida, Israel, JAPAN AND AUSTRALIA HAVE ALMOST TWICE THE VALUE (32% approve and 58% disapprove and 31% to 64%!) BUT THE BARS ARE ALMOST EQUAL. I am appalled TLDR. This is blatant visual manipulation. Disgusting.
Chill out and look at the numbers. It’s displayed wrong I agree, but to call it an egregious misrepresentation when the numbers are clearly stated is exaggerating af
@@jfkforgotzhonyas It heavily skewes the entire representation of the data and portrays an entirely different picture of the actual values, portraying a far more optimistic view to what the data shows. If they value being an independent and trustworthy news source then yes, it is egregious and not an exaggeration.
Dislike the video. If any video of theirs has a like to dislike ratio lower than 95%, then they'll look at it, acknowledge their mistake in a podcast that releases some time in the future, either say "Our bad, sorry" or "We did nothing wrong", and move on.
@@DanielGalimidi Certainly. I will not drag them through the mud. I know they are far better of a news outlet and mistakes are possible particularly with time pressure.

@@jfkforgotzhonyas Nah man. A good chunk of people ain't gonna read those numbers and just look at the visual.
Why not mention how the US is mishandling shipments of weapons to Ukraine?
Needlessly inflammatory statements such as "America’s Global Reputation Has Collapsed" - which I consider absolutely ridiculous and severely underinformed - are causing me to watch fewer TLDR videos.
The title statement is so poorly considered that I would expect it to come from an ill-informed 11-year old child.
Why in the hell are we still dealing with the Middle East?
Who is we? If we is the US, it's to maintain your hegemony over oil supply.
AIPAC.
Because US corporations make alot of money out of it.
As Israeli I agree. The US should gtfo. They invented and supported palestinian peoplehood in the 90’s, and that only made their dream of dispossessing us more alive. Without US intervention, palestinians would now live in their majority country - Jordan, and a real two states solution with peace would have happened.
@@ChrisJohannsen I get the hegemony part but the oil one doesn't make any sense anymore? We have been oil independent since the fracking industry started up.
As an american I don't blame them.
Why? Compared to what time? The 50s and 60s?
I agree, our country is garbage.
Australia how? That's surprising. I thought the British Empire still favors the US.
Half the media here is owned by the Murdochs and there is a constant effort to export US politics here to Australia where it only half fits if at all.
Also, it's kind of hard to see the US as a true democracy anymore between the gerrymandering and Trump being allowed to get away with Jan 6th and a lot of other things, even being given another real shot at the white house.
You haven't done anything to deserve favour
Australia has had a lot of immigration from countries that literally hate America. It is now reflecting in political preferences. There's also a strong anti Jewish/Zionist vibe to the zeitgeist in Australia at the moment.
The true 'favorability index
1. The number of people trying to get into your country
2. The amount of international investment your country
3. The international strength of your currency
4. The international use of your products
5.The number of middle income and wealthy countries that will host your military
These are factors that are outside of favorability, they are jist based on strenght and wealth of a country

Imagine sacrificing your global reputation in the name of a foreign country, Israel, and even they have a diminishing favorability for you.
Even Israel is going against the US.

No matter what the USA did concerning Israeli-Palestinian war, their reputation would suffer. That's one of this conflict problems: there is no 'good side': both sides wage very brutal war not caring for civilians.
Sure, that's the reason why their reputation is down, definitely not that they have absolutely incompetent, self-serving government that flip-flops on everything
@@wawrzynieckorzen78 there is a good side. The side of innocent civilians
Israel can hardly do that much, russia on other hand did much more which is trying to be hidden swept under rug
It's falling here too as we are stuck with a battle of the old folks home for the election.
The reason why the US democracy isn't a good example anymore, is because the two major parties have Consolidated power and made it much more difficult for any third party to get established legally.
Even independent candidates who don't affiliate with any party are legally required to obtain a specific amount of signatures from legal voters to legally be allowed to run for office.
The second reason is because of the constant in fighting, lack of compromise, identity politics, and a refusal to let states have more autonomy in making their own laws, that last part also coincidence with both parties constantly trying to force all states to conform to their way of life via federal law.
Well thats hardly the only reason unfortunately
FYI every candidate has to achieve so many signatures before they're allowed on the ballot, not just independents/3rd parties. There's no real legal hurdles against third parties, it's just a consequence of how the system is, combined with the fact that the major two parties have more support structures in place to help out their candidates.
Don't forget about the scotus immunity decision and the overruling of Chevron deference
These polls would not have data that current
It’s sad we can’t get Bush as a war criminal now
They just said what the constitution says and it potentially affects only the case in Georgia. It doesn’t affect the Jan 6 case or the classified documents case. The immunity only applies to the office of the President.
@@mkvenner2Yes but there was the secondary Chevron decision and remember the presidential pardon power, no one can functionally restrict a president now from committing any crime so long as it can be argued that it's in service to the office.

Man, this is clickbait.
I think this was a deceptive title. You show positive favorability ratings across the board from countries around the world with the exception of Turkey, who famously has regularly low favorabilities of all countries, from neighbors to allies to enemies. The argument that is made, that these numbers are lower than they used to be, does not indicate that they will fall further. In fact, following all the events of the past years, a more accurate title would be "USA's soft power remarkably resilient"
We have a very good reason to hate USA and other so-called allies. We also have bad-blood with most of our "neighbors" because of our Ottoman and Seljuq past.
If Turks hate you, you are:
1) Historical enemy.
2) Butthurt ex-colony (there is no colony mindset in Turks, but i can not find another word for it).
3) Peoples who dont defend their country and fled to Turkiye(young males). Peoples who dont help their brothers/sisters and caused them to fled to Turkiye(Gulf Arabs). Peoples who directly caused them to fled Turkiye (Russia, Israel, whole west again).

He is. That’s Canon now, the Supreme Court decided 😄
And Biden's a corpse that young people hate for g*nociding all those Palestinians, so he will absolutely lose in November if he stays in the race. Were f*cked, the hope for democracy now lies with the French and the British. It's been a good run.

As if US doesnt meddle in middle east and europe, then europe ends up with the influx of refugees as a result. Or that American hedge funds havent bought out european public services and now sways its elections
I think the major problem is expectation.
America has been described as the land of opportunity. But we have seen for years the mistreatment of minorities, the abuse of police power, the extreme wealth disparities, and the unfairness of those with the most money paying the least in taxes.
America has been described as a safe country. But we constantly see gun violence, even at the school level, we see guns in public life, we see a drug crisis, we see people ringing doorbells and being shot at, we see mass murders so often, we've become immune to the horror and the American response has always been to have more guns. It's horrendous.
America has been seen as the land of justice, and yet we see time and again immunity for the rich, most recently that tRump, who has multiple felony convictions, who has trounced the rule of law innumerable times has faced no consequences for his actions. tRump is a convicted rapist, twice impeached, and absolutely a horrible person and president by any measure, and yet he is running for office again with a good chance of winning.
American is also turning into a theocracy. The rights of women being turned back centuries, the rights of minorities being turned back decades, with the SCOTUS as corrupt as any justice panel in the world.
So there's the expectation that Americans will do the right thing, that they belive in justice, life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, that they are Superman standing on the hill, doing the right thing anywhere, everywhere. But we see over and over again that Americans have failed themselves. They have failed to live up to their own ideals. America is no longer a special beacon of hope on a hill, but a darkness to be worked with and around. No country wants to be America anymore.
Sounds more to me like the problem is people paying too much attention to sensationalist headlines.
Does anybody know the source of the graph/data shown in the video?
I think this is interesting analysis with some good points, but I’d be curious how this compares to other ratings across the board. What countries have had improved reputations? Or is this a case of everyone disliking other people as usual?
It also depends on the USA's status as the world's policemen
The US isn't the world's policeman, it's the world's protection racket.
The sample of that poll is so incredibly skewed towards western countries...
You like to ask of us to be caught in your loop which is refreshingly honest, but also unpleasantly suspicious
"Do these shifts in global opinion of the US actually matter?" I am in the US and can say - to us, no, they don't.
Two words: foreign policy
I mean yeah….
Thats the reason the majority of “opinions on other nations” exist.
Either foreign policy, or foreign relations
two words: Trump Biden
1 word: israel
funding war crimes tends to do that
Yeah, I also don't agree with the overwhelming American support of Palestinian citizens, by far the largest of any nation in the world. These are the same people that celebrated on the streets in October. Now America is helping them.
Supporting islamists is not something to be proud of
Agreed which is why Iran should be held accountable for funding terrorists
@@NoonyJW Maybe after America gets held accountable for funding and arming Islamist extremists in Libya and Syria
@NoonyJW why not remove aipace and stop supporting an apartheid.
Can you link you sources?
On your first graph there's a typo
its all a big mystery 🤔
0:51 This is perhaps the most skewed data set in the history of data sets. A handful of country in Africa, Israel as the single one in the Middle East ( unless you count Turkey as middle Eastern), no China (i.e. the second more populous and powerful state in the world), no Russia, no country in Central America… Basically no one with grievances against the U.S.
bigger vountries were reviewed, Turkey is middle eastern, no china and russia bc they hate the us anyway
As a European, I’ve also noticed a trend of Americans badmouthing European countries - especially UK and France - on social media. Every week there’s a new trend about how these countries are stupid or backwards or how America is inherently better, and there has been some real US-European hostility on TikTok in particular. Influencers treating historic cities like malls or amusement parks etc… It sounds minor but it has definitely translated to real life, and the general sentiment towards the US is growing sour.
As an American, I'm just dumbfounded that it's not lower. Tbh
Jeez, who made the Biden Gaza bar chart?! How can the higher disapproval number have a smaller bar length and when roughly equal still wildly different too, several times I see this. Very sus...
60 years of imperalism will do that to a country
“Collapse” is such a clickbaity word.
Our enemies are laughing at us and our allies think we’re weak, and there’s no wonder why
It's because the shit that's happening in your country is transmitted across the globe.
@@KSUser-0301 more accurately the media in america is very dramatic and foreigners take it literally.
Ahh the good ol 'Untied states' ? Lol
Honeslty, we don't care. Whenever something happens, whether it be war or some other issue for global significance happened, some international incide lnt or issue everyone is talking about, ppl don't agree with American opinion and think less of us.
It is what is. America is the world Mayor. People talk about wjther or not were the Worlds Policeman, but honestly, were the mayor and we get that type of treatment.
So 🤷🏾♂
do mayors have responsibility? accountability? free choice to replace? if not it is not a mayor.... there is another word for it, i wonder if you can figure out what it is
@@fixpontt The rest of world.complains when America minds its business. Than America gets involved and then y'all complain about that.
The rest of world complains when were internally focused and don't know care about what y'all are doing. Then y'all complain when we finally pay attention and give an opinion andtalk about arrogant Americans.
Y'all want our attention, y'all want us to solve problems but only y'all way from Israel to South Korea to Europe to the Middle East to Latin America. (Salute to the Caribbean and Africa)
Were y'all Mayor bc y'all made us that way.
I wonder why...
It had no reputation to speak of outside North America, Australia, New Zealand and Western Europe. That's not a very significant chunk of the world (though it does provide a massive echo chamber).
As an American, I can really care less what the international community thinks.
They're not paying my bills nor supporting my household, so they can worry about reputation all they want, it means nothing in the long run
So you wont mind if the world switches to using the Chinese Yang instead of the US$ for Global Trade then?
the US Economy is ENTIRELY Dependent on other countries using the US$.
@0fficialdregs
Truth be told, Americans who lose sleep over our tarnished reputation around the world are a dying breed. Only 15% of our GDP is foreign generated, and over half of that is NAFTA 2.0. We're almost completely self-reliant, defended by two large oceans on either side of us. Also, the American electorate has become increasingly more populist since the fall of the Soviet Union, and we no longer want to pay for a large navy patrolling the seas for the benefit of China. In short, we're retreating from the world stage, but not because we've been forced to. It's because we just don't need the rest of the world like we used to. As Mel Brooks said in History of the World Part 1, "It's good to be the king."
@disco1974ever
No, we don't mind because it will never happen. The Chinese will drop the value of the Yuan and drive all of your manufacturing out of business as they artificially price you out of the market.
The Yuan will never overtake the US dollar as the fiat world currency because it's too volatile being pegged to the whims of the CCP. The same goes for the Rupee, Ruble, petro dollar, and crypto. BRICS is a joke. Besides, what fool would trade in their US T-bills and government backed securities for Chinese bonds?
Gold and precious metals are too precious and won't keep up with demand, so they're not a viable alternative either.
As for the Euro, well, I've got one word for you: "Cyprus." When European central banks toyed with the idea of confiscating 10% of private bank accounts in order to shore up debt, that knocked the Euro out of fiat consideration forever. Also, in case you haven't noticed, there's a war going on in Europe right now, so the Euro has no stability, and no stability means no confidence.
Whether you like it or not, the US dollar is king and will be for our lifetimes.
@@disco1974ever lmfao if you honestly think all nations are gonna switch to China currency just because, you're more reactionary than anyone with common sense. Go do better research lol
@@smithb0134 Only place the usa should patrol is Asia and leave everywhere else alone.
At 0:55 the United in United States is spelt wrong
It Typo
untied is a pretty accurate way of describing them now
“Untied States” in the chart title is a good one
Country selection for sample size is ridiculous
The only critique I hear of America as a South African is their unconditional support of Israel, especially now. I'd say that South Africans are still obsessed with American media and culture.
Watching American movies and hearing American songs doesn't nessarly means supporting or loving American government. Alot of these American movies and songs are eather neutral or activity critisizening the American government and their role in the world
"Untied" States got some splaning to do
No
Look at all the issues happening in Kenya.
Who did this survey? I nv heard of such a survey in my country Asia
Really that’s why everyone wants to immigrate to the USA
its not the highest on the totem pole on where people want to move. there are other options
It is the abject stupidity in large sections of US politics since at least the days of Bush II.
I still vividly remember how as a teenager i foresaw many problems the USA would face in Iraq which the mightiest government in the world with the best intelligence service in the world was genuinly surprised of. And these were the better days compared to 2016-2020, with a very realistic chance they will get an encore next year.
To quote a friend of mine, "America is just 50 banana republics bickering behind a trenchcoat."
That was way more positive than I thought
So the poorer the country, the more favourable...
As someone from tunisia, I'd like to disagree lol
Ah yes Poland and South Korea both known for being soo poor...
In poor countries most people don't care about politics, so they don't tend to have a strong opinion on anything
@@HidekiRyugaxx Poor countries and countries who The USA helped through foreign aid or military intervention like in South Korea and Poland. Like shit if The USA is the reason you're a sovereign state and why North Korea hasn't tried anything then yeah you'd probably like The US, likewise if your Polish and The US helped during WWII you'd probably have a favourable opinion of them.
You'd probably not like The US if they exploit/ed your country and attempted/executed multiple coups on your sovereign democratically elected government.
This video literally demonstrates that there's a way higher percentage of people who see the US favourably in less developed/poorer countries on average compared to developed/wealthy countries, this is obviously multifaceted.
@@HidekiRyugaxx I'd also say that Poland and South Korea aren't exactly known for being particularly rich/wealthy or desirably to live in compared to other developed nations like Switzerland, both are export manufacturing economies and it's important to equate the quality of life of the median citizen over the total GDP, I wouldn't call either countries poor by any means, I was just saying that the poorer the country the more favourable to The USA they are on average, your 2 statistical outliers are not contrary to my point.
America doesn't deserve that sort of good reputation in the first place.
No country really does.
Just curious, it seems like Bangladesh has a positive view of he US handling of the Israel Hamas situation, which is an outlier among Muslim countries most of whom disapprove , was interesting what would be the context to that?
The real surprise is that anyone bothered to ask a bunch of nobodies about their opinions of the US.
They hate us cause they ain't us 💅💅💅
We really don't want to be you
@@ChrisJohannsen he US is the richest nation in the world, has the strongest military, largest economy, most influential politically, best universities, best sports nation, dominates music, movies, TV shows, top companies, top internet sites, most diverse, immigrant nation, most Nobel Prize winners by far, first nation to put a man on the moon, fought off Germany and Japan and rebuilt Europe through the Marshall Plan, protected Europe from Communism and fought off communist Soviet Union, US gives more foreign aid than any other nation in the world. The US also provides the breakthroughs in much of medicine and technology that Europeans then use, without having created with their system. Europeans are able to live in a peaceful world order where they can spend less on military and focus on their homogenous societies. But that doesn’t happen out of a vacuum. It comes from the Pax Americana the US provided. If every liberal democracy was Denmark, fascism, communism, authoritarianism and/or Islamic fundamentalism would dominate the world and nations would all be immeasurably worse off. Not to mention that besides other smaller nations having their quality of life because of the U.S. created world order and US advancements, no nation in human history as large and diverse as the US has had as high a quality of life as the US. The only nations that can have a higher quality of life than the US are nations much smaller, more homogenous, which benefit from the US created world order and US advancements, and which are specifically smaller and more homogenous than most large countries. Of course the top nation in the world will always be the most targeted, it’s always been this way. A truly mediocre nation would not be as targeted, because people have the inclination to try to take out the guy at the top

When looking at the data presented at around the 3:00 minute mark, it's important to see approval ratings of the US consistently go down right before an election.
This may indicate a time of instability and therefore questionability towards the United States overall.
While today's election is especially controversial, I think the research could account for the percentage that global approval goes down to ensure that it is proportional across the board in certain situations.
This biggest mistake of this video is the premise assumes America cares what we think

i personally think the problem with America is that its so powerful that people in my region don't give stuff from other countries a chance and we copy a lot of the bad things from America like the politics .in the past America seemed much better and nobody care about other countries but now people start to get interested in stuff from other countries and this is quite unusual since we really only cared about America for almost 100 years .i think the one thing that stops America from becoming a weaker country is that while there are a lot of countries that i consider better than America like japan or Poland these countries are not very powerful America's biggest competitors are china and Russia and they are bad dictatorships. the 2nd most powerful democracy is India but they have got similar problems as America with a lot of infighting but for different reasons in India the problem is too much religion causing censorship and the country being very multi-ethnic while in America its just about political ideologies but you get similar results. but India is quite stable for now but for how long. i don't even know what the 3rd most powerful democracy is definitely not a very impressive country maybe Indonesia or japan or France.
