World respect for the US drops sharply under Trump

[Oldstyle]

And the moment the shit hits the fan they'll be expecting us to save them.

Actually, when the shit hits the fan, the US will find itself alone

And that means what????

What that means is in a global conflict, we cannot count on our allies to support us

Kind of like Bush's "Coalition of the willing" in Iraq except that Trump can't count on UK support

Tell me how we needed them again? Hell during the Nobel peace prize guys Libya war Great Britain had to rent one of our AWACs to protect their ships. And the socialist were so military poor they could only afford to fire off three tomahawk missiles..


And give me a break we don't need any of them..

What it means is ....when we want boots on the ground, those boots will be made in the USA

The Great Obama was successful in getting our allies to bear more of the burden in Egypt, Libya and Syria as well as an increased presence with Afghanistan

It means fewer US lives lost

More American lives were lost in Afghanistan under Barack Obama then were lost there under George W. Bush and HE had to invade a country! The Great Obama wasn't so great when it came to military tactics.

 

[Oldstyle]

There was a war in Egypt? Who knew?

 

[Esmeralda]

Im ok with it.
hat reasons would they have for thinking that? Policy? Thinking of us? Cutting off funding to other people? Calling peoples bullshit out?

For those who seem unaware, since WWII the US president has been seen as the leader of the free world. No longer. Not since Trump.

Lord of the Flies...Trump = Jack

That is true

After taking most of Afghanistan in 2002, Bush abandoned the war on terror to pursue his ill-advised invasion of Iraq
By the time the Great Obama took office in 2009, the Taliban had retaken much of Afghanistan and the shadow government was crumbling

We are still paying a price for Bush's poor post 9-11 decisions

Sorry
I'm not going to rehash history for you

 

[Faun]

The truth is...after the Obama Stimulus cratered so badly and both Larry Summers and Christina Romer jumped ship and ran back to the safety of their tenured jobs at Harvard and Berkeley...Obama didn't seem to even try to improve the economy. People can't tell you who his chief economic advisors were following that point in his Presidency because they didn't do anything with the economy past that point. It was like they'd gotten burned playing with something hot and didn't want to risk picking it up again!

What do you consider to be a good metric to measure a healthy and improving economy?

This will be funny to watch you avoid answering because you know it will only invalidate your drivel.

One huge indicator of a healthy and improving economy is a move by the Fed to increase interest rates! They've done so three times since Trump was elected. They did so once from the time Obama was elected until Trump was elected. That's once in eight years compared to three times in one.

The more I converse with you, RDD...the more I come to the conclusion that you know very little about economics. I'm still waiting to hear from either you or Faun (or anyone else for that matter!) about which Obama policy it was that's created this healthy economy under Trump! Any idea when that might be forthcoming?

I don’t know why you’re waiting to hear from me when we’ve already had that discussion several times and it always goes the same way.... I list policies which helped the economy and lie and deny.

It always DOES go the same way! You list the stock market increasing. You talk about so many months of positive job creation. But when it comes to the Obama Administration policies that made the economy grow...you're not so forthcoming. This really isn't an advanced discussion of economics, Faun! It should be quite simple for you to point to the overriding Obama economic strategy that he used to stimulate the economy. With Trump that strategy is basic...cut taxes on businesses...cut burdensome regulations on businesses...allow Americans to keep more of the money they earn. That's it. That's what they believe will stimulate the economy and create jobs. So what was Barack Obama's overriding economic strategy? Obamacare? The ACA hindered the recovery! Proposing Cap & Trade? That would have imposed higher energy costs on American businesses! Passing a record number of regulations on businesses?

Stop lying, ya lying con tool. I listed policies.

Looks like making America great is not working as the world rejects us

World Respect for U.S. Drops Sharply Under Trump: Poll

America’s global image has dropped to an all-time low the first year of the Trump administration, falling below where it stood during the presidencies of Barack Obama and George W. Bush, according to a new Gallup poll.

The perception of U.S. leadership abroad since President Donald Trump took office has fallen 18 percentage points from the median 48 percent approval rating it held when Obama left office.

Its too bad the world is so easily influenced. What does that say about them? you cant always trust the polls either. There is usually a motivation behind them.

Or..... maybe the world is right and you’re wrong.

Good. You should leave and go to those countries that you think are better.

If respect for the US has dropped, then respect for some other country has risen. That's the premise of the OP. Forgive me if you're not swift enough to figure it out.

Bet every country on the planet will still respect one of our aircraft carriers rolling up on them.

The world, shouldnt base it's opinion of a country based on the election of one man. Obviously it is an over -reaction, thats all, especially when you consider that so much of the dirt on Trump is just manufactured.
