US drops to 8th on 'best countries' list

8th? Pffffffffffffffffft, look into our health"care" system rankings.

 

When the US is left with only hard power as an option, those that support pummelling your opponents and taking full/clear advantages will line up to serve in the new war zones.

 

I'm sure they would for the access to healthcare and education alone.

 

What we are is the planet's greatest purveyors of arms and violence and the creators of "terrorism".

Really?

Facts are facts. The United States has been the greatest example of a representative government, offering the most opportunity and freedoms to its citizens, this planet has ever known.

Sorry that doesn't align with your hatred.

I think your narrative that this is an evil country is unfounded, ignorant, and revisionist history at it's worst. I don't need an education from you, and your attempts at making anybody else that doesn't align with your crappy perspective "stupid" or "uneducated" is desperate and screams of narcism. Get over yourself.

Ok, have a great one. If you live in the United States, you probably will.

 

Oh yeah. Please give me a single, just one, of a completely peaceful country or region where we got involved and CAUSED violence.

Ill eagerly await your example.

 

Quoting the good facts about our nation does not get rid of nor negate the bad things, the evil things. Killing a half a million Iraq's kids using sanctions if utter evil in any moral man's book. For god's sake man, wake up and smell the coffee! Where is your moral compass? Your humanity? A set of principles based upon goodness.

 

So let me get this straight. A left wing anti Trump fake news outlet ranks the US number eight and citizens of America are supposed to give a ****? If you honestly believe there are seven better countries to live in then take your pick and be on your way.

 

I know facts are not convenient to America Haters, but let's explore them anyway. It makes more sense than providing half truths that tug at heart strings only for political reasons.

First... Saddam Hussein is responsible for attacking our allies in the region and is directly related to killing millions of people.

The United States protected our allies and effectively prevented the killing of millions of more innocent Iraqis. The sanctions you speak of were imposed the the UNITED NATIONS, not the United States. Even still, several opportunities were given to allow the country to sell oil in order to buy food for their people. BOTH TIMES, Iraq declined the opportunity.

The Security Council responded to these concerns earlier this year when it offer Iraq the opportunity to sell $2 billion worth of oil to purchase food and medicines under United Nations supervision, the second such offer in four years. Iraq rejected both as infringements of its sovereignty and has continued to demand an unconditional end to sanctions.

​

So... let's see where you got it wrong.

1. You ignored the fact that sanctions were imposed following a war to save millions.
2. You claimed it was the US that imposed sanctions, when in fact it was the United Nations.
3. You failed to recognize or provide the facts around opportunities provided to nourish the country.


So, anymore stories you want to tell in your America hating rants devoid of actual facts?

 

The United States slips in this year's U.S. News Best Countries ranking, dropping to the No. 8 spot after falling one position from its 2017 ranking. Switzerland, an island of stable prosperity in a world of turmoil, remains the Best Country, according to a global survey of more than 21,000 persons...

...As in 2017, Canada remains the No. 2 in the survey. Germany, as it was in 2016, is perceived as the most powerful country in Europe – surpassing the U.K. to place at No. 3 overall, while the U.K. drops to No. 4. Japan rounds out the top five, the highest finish for a nation in Asia, a region which survey respondents increasingly believe holds many of the keys to the world's future. At No. 6 is Sweden and Australia moves up to the No. 7 position, surpassing the U.S...

US News has been around way before tWump.
21000 people were suveyed.

 

The votes are in, America, and the best country in the world is ...

(Drum roll, please.)

It's Germany. Sorry, United States, you're fourth — right behind third-ranked Britain and second-ranked Canada. But, hey, America beat Sweden!

That's according to the inaugural "Best Countries" ranking from U.S. News & World Report, the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School and global brand consultants BAV Consulting. The ranking was officially unveiled at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Wednesday.

This poll started in 2016. Before tWump.
So, it wasn't done to show how bad tWump is.

 

You leftist prefer Canada over America and now that trumps president you prefer it even more. Your point was?

 

It sounds like yet another Fake News Poll to me.

 

More polls meanwhile i have more in my bank account... But but but a poll said! /facepalm

 

I did notice that none of the 'shithole' countries made the list.......all majority White countries except for Japan which is probably the least 'diverse' 1st world countries. Yet, we are hell bent on trying to become a minority White country with as much 'diversity' as we can import. Makes you go hmmmmmmm

 

Australia now no. 7.... apparently... (looking around) ....doesn't feel any different to me

 

Psssst..... need some Mexicans?

 

yes send them by boat

 

We're going to need a bigger boat.

 

The OP. America is not the best country according to the survey. Many countries the RW likes to call bad according to their America are ahead in this poll.

BTW- I personally don't prefer Canada.

 

I call it boomerang migration lol

That's BS. Unless you're poor living in South Chicago or Baltimore, the US is great. 2nd maybe to only Australia but their food is gobchite.

 

The lower we drop, the better I know we're actually doing because these lists are made by globalist progressives.

 

It all depends on what you want. I want:

1) warm weather,
2) reasonably priced real estate,
3) Mexican food,
4) baseball,
5) football,
6) golf all year

I can't get that in Scandinavia. I can get it in Texas.
