    Buddy, our country is not so great on the world stage. You honestly think we can sink lower?

    Oh, absolutely.

        Oh, I’m talking about the world stage too. The US remains popular in much of Subsaharan Africa and East Asia (minus China and NK, natch), and moderately popular in Asia outside of MENA, with mixed views in Latin America. Our popularity dropped in all but three countries during Trump’s term, if memory serves - Pakistan, Israel, and Russia.

                We’re more popular in most of those countries than most European countries are - a lot of bad blood in colonialism there.

                Western Euro countries approval of the US tend to vary wildly according to recent events, while Eastern Europe outside of the Russian sphere tends to approve highly of the US despite a significant gap on social issues.
