My sons fiancé is from France and, in fact, is living there right now. Her situation brings her to several countries. Most find us at as least as bad as Russia, some find us worse. We aren’t perceived as the good guys we think we are.



When I watch YouTube vids with political content the comments from foreigners is about 70% negative towards the US…..it’s gotten much worse since the illegitimate regime took power from the people.

The Ukraine invasion was caused by Putin being a power hungry despot nothing else. No other country shares responsibly here.

The correct answer is obvious, in real terms, it’s the US that looks much worse than Russia. Thanks Whispering Joe.

And most of those countries don’t even have the power to sanction another country. Most of those countries don’t even have an economy. That’s not a good way to look at how the world perceives either the US or Russia.

Russia is a war zone, while I liken Biden's America to the worst public restroom one can find.

Russia because they started a war...oh wait.

Russia because they indiscriminately bombed civilian targets...oh wait.

I mean, our dollars did hire shooting teams to kill 50 people in a protest almost a decade ago...

Our multiple "media" companies funded by us in Ukraine used that situation to throw out their elected government.

So...?

Putin/Russia is just working with Biden and the establishment and Ukrain to steal US money and bankrupt our nation.

I’m the world? The only people backing the Russian condemnation are western countries, so most of the people of the world aren’t on that side. Depends on how far the globalist reach is with media, which is far. Everyone in the world sees the push for globalism and most hate it

141 countries voted at the UN to condemn Russia.
35 abstained.
The countries that supported Russia:
North Korea
Syria
Belarus
Eritrea

31 Countries have provided lethal aid to Ukraine.
80+ have provided financial and humanitarian aid

Apparently the West is a lot bigger than I realized.

Russia is a joke to the global community right now...

Unfortunately, Biden is a punchline.

Everyone is just laughing at America right now



When people are laughing at you it means they don’t respect you. It’s not a good look when nations around the world are laughing at the US.

Russia has made record profits in their energy sector and have already reached 50% of their expected yearly income in just 4 months, 20 european countries have already opened "gas for rubles" accounts with Gazprombank to circumvent EU sanctions while slobs like us are paying the highest prices for gas in US history because of a country that most couldn't find on a map. Somehow this doesn't feel like winning

If you want honesty, it's the US hands down. And this is not my opinion.

Look, I think the invasion of Ukraine is a long term disaster for Russia but currently the US is a colossal embarrassment among developed nations. The US with Trump as president would have avoided the a Afghanistan debacle, we would still be energy independent, Russia would not have completed their oil/gas pipeline and Trump would have met with Putin to hash things out and avoided the current Ukraine/Russia shite show …….99% guaranteed!!!

American debt to GDP 130%
Russian debt to GDP 17%


Remember when all those sanctions were going to “crush” the Ruble. It didn’t.

Russia is rich in commodities and low on debt.
