    So embarrassing for Americans who have integrity and know right from wrong. Trump and his enablers have made the USA the s**t-hole country Trump accused other countries of being. The USA is being sold off for parts by a greedy rapacious crime syndicate. No one was guarding the hen house and the establishment Dems should have been doing just that as opposed to becoming as beholden to their donors as the corrupt GOP is to theirs. Trump and his racketeering ring is the final nail in the coffin. All are to blame and shame on them! They should have a giant "T" for Traitor branded on their foreheads for failing to uphold what people fought wars and died for in the name of the USA.

    Agreed. I have not met one Australian who does not mourn for America. For decades America was our elder sibling and someone we have stood beside in conflict after conflict. We have been a staunch ally and trading partner The power vacuum that has been increasingly obvious since Trump took office has all us smaller nations concerned as China has expanded into the pacific

    Nah, it's mostly a bunch of Anti-Trump propaganda that's been pumped out to other parts of the world, for some reason.


    That's laughable, America has lamented as they've watched what's happened in Australia - as Australia seems to be turning into another UK when it comes to individual rights and civil liberties. (Now it's true America certainly has been far from perfect, of course, but Australia seems to be changing more faster and worse, rather authoritarian in many respects. Would probably be even far worse if Australia was the one running the world)

    Ferchristsakes, the failure of America is an accumulation of horrible politicians for the last 100 years. Trump's impact on isn't really any more significant than Wilson, Clinton, Reagan or Obsma. They were all terrible in their own way.

    And most other countries aren't any better, and that includes Canada and Australia.

    It's actually the constitution that killed people. We should get rid of it!

    You have to understand we have a different constitution than you do. As for authoritarianism- Depends. At present we are complying because we can see what happens to case load and death rate if we don’t. We just have to look to America for the ultimate stuff up. Same as guns - we saw the horrific death rate in America and decided we did not want that here. What is very different about our two countries is that we care if people live or die

    The USA actually has a death cult and it's easy to see in the attitude these folks have regarding the pandemic and how it affects the economy as compared to the importance they place on the lives and well being of the elderly or even in many cases children. That goes for gun control as well.

    You'll do it your way and we'll do it ours. Let's compare notes on the other side...

    A Canadian friend who has lived in Europe for the past 30 years recently toured the US and stopped in for a visit. His perception of the US - formed mostly by his recent travels were interesting. He likened the US to a teenager or twenty something with too much money. Comparatively little life experience, yet so confident that he has the biggest, best, fastest and strongest of everything. He was particular about emphasizing how he couldn't get over the superlative nature of many he met and, certainly, most in the public eye. I wish I could disagree with him, but he made a compelling argument. He didn't say America was bad, or Americans awful. He simply said we had a very distinctive 'style' and needed, desperately, to grow up!

    You’re sorry for us? Bahahahah The reason you folks and the rest of the world are crying is because your countries have been inundated with liberalism and you are shocked that America isn’t following along with your stupidity. America is the last bastion of conservative ideology in the western world and we are getting stronger because of it while you folks are terrified that in order to continue to rely upon America to make up for the inevitable pitfalls of your socialist ideology, you’re going to have to become more conservative.

    The USA is a failed idea that should be dismantled and start again before it self destructs

    The USA has OBJECTIVELY done more to lift more people out of poverty than any country in the history of the world. We are leaders or near the very top by almost any objective measure of success.

    The only thing “failed” about America is that socialist ideology has inundated our system. But we are working to change that. After Trump wins the election we will go a lot further towards that goal.

    What exactly would you like America to do about military build up in the South China sea. This buildup has been going on since the beginning of the Obama administration, maybe in the Bush administration.

    I agree with his assessment that we are an ADOLESCENT nation when it comes to our attitudes, our short term greed obsession and our demand for instant gratification.

    You can see all of those things in the wannabe Fascist-in-Chief DEMANDING that the OUTCOME of the election MUST be called BEFORE all of the ballots are counted.

    Death Cult? You mean Planned Parenthood . . . and the supporters of late term abortion?

    America is fine. If Burma wants to help us, they can begin by sending the $135M in aid we are sending them in 2020 back.

    Perhaps the US should have not reported case correctly like other countries.

    Democrats like Cuomo's actions killed the majority of people. Trump had nothing to do with it.

    The only thing foreigners know about what's going on in America is what the media tells them. And it's pretty obvious who owns the media.

    Here's what's going on. The globalist media tells these people that America has fallen into orangemanbadnazism. Then the globalist media interviews these people and have them say that America has fallen into orangemanbadnazism. And then the globalist media claims this is proof that America has actually fallen into orangemanbadnazism.

    We really need to make a circular logic diagram for this. Would make a nice meme, drawn as a hamster wheel with a lemming in the middle.

    It is really embarrassing to see displays of parochial boorishness. Ugly Americanism at it’s insular worst.

    We do have a death cult, liberals pushing abortion, the gay agenda, euthanasia......

    Funny how 100K in India came out to see Trump:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Namas...l Stadium (also,attendance as high as 125,000.

    Personally I don't give a rip what other countries think of us, I know they don't like Trump getting rid of unfair trade deals and making them pay their fair share of defense.

    Exactly, a friend in Sweden told me all the news outlets there are like CNN, what do you expect them to think after that brainwashing?
