But my point was challenging the idea that the global view of US was high before Trump reelection.
When the previous guy pointed that Biden was still following the political path of America’s warfare he wasn’t wrong to do so.
No matter what party wins, US will be still an empire throwing their weight around (because they have nukes and because of dollar) and waging wars against any country who “dreams to defy US hegemony” (defy is a code word for not obeying US demands because US was always a Mafia Boss demanding a racket).
The so called dallies, as trump has shown, are no more than countries hat happens to be closer enough to the Mafia Boss. But the Boss Uncle Sam will throw them under the bus as soon as needed to save his own life.
Since you mentioned Bolsonaro, All of us, Brazilians who were not bolsonarists, saw that Bozo would betray any ally as soon as he got some heat on his back.
The same applies to Trump, but, even more important:
That was who US was as a nation all along.
as Henry Kissinger said: ‘It may be dangerous to be America’s enemy, but to be America’s friend is fatal.’
Downvoting anyone who denies the crimes of US under both republican and democratic presidency doesn’t change the truth value of this quote.

Oh sure, we’ve had problems at least since Bush, but probably earlier. I don’t know if we’ve had a net positive reputation since WW2 or so.

I disagree. Believe it or not, Henry Kissinger isn’t particularly popular here. The quote is certainly valid though.
I think it all started a bit after the Korean War. That’s when the Cold War really heated up, so it was all about getting as much power and influence to oppose the commies. But once the USSR fell, there wasn’t really an empire to oppose, so the US just kind of coasted and kept doing what it was doing.
AFAICT, the American people don’t like what the government is doing. We didn’t want to be in Iraq, we didn’t want to stay in Afghanistan (esp. after bin Laden’s assassination), etc.
I’m not a fan of Bolsonaro either.

You dont want to and yet you vote for the people who did it lmao Imagine living in the country that razed yours lmao fucking simp
Sorry.
By America as a nation I didn’t meant American people, but America’s government or America’s plans.
Basically what you said about how US just coasted and kept doing things (wars) as usual. That’s what I meant by nation.
