Germany is the most admired country in the world for the third year running, leaving the US in a tight battle for distant second place with China and Russia, according to a new global leadership poll.
The annual poll, conducted by Gallup, casts more doubt on US secretary of state Mike Pompeo’s claim on Friday that the US was “perfectly positioned” to lead the free world in a new ideological rivalry with the Chinese Communist Party.
The US had a 33% global approval rating for 2019, just one percentage point ahead of China and 3% ahead of Russia. Germany outshines all three by a long stretch, with a 44% rating.

Not sure what there is to admire about a country with such a repugnant history.

The Guardian says that Gallup says that etc etc
Why do you post such garbage to FR?
An article clearly written for the primary purpose of bashing the USA. Pure tripe.
tells you all you need to know
sheeple like totalitarian governments

The world, and the media, long for tyranny.

3,000 years ago it was all understood.
What could possibly have caused the typical poll respondent to say he admires Deutschland? What’s to like about them? Well, let’s be honest... they do make some damned fine automobiles... and beers. And then there are the blond buxom young women in dirndls at Oktoberfest. Is any or all of that enough to put the nation entire (with its very sordid history) into the admired column? Because beyond the things I mentioned, the things to like about Germany are pretty limited.
Germany tried to lead the free world but WW-I and WW-III stopped them.
The muzzies love that repugnant history.
What is the percentage of Americans that give a **** what the rest of the world thinks of any other country?
I couldn’t care less if we were listed at the bottom. Actually it would mean we were doing something right.
That is not a slam a Germany. I’ve never been there but I bet it’s a great place to visit and still in many areas to live. It just doesn’t matter to me where the United States falls on the list and I doubt it matters to most Germans where they fall analyst

Wrong. Germany is experiencing some of the highest incidents of rapes among most EU nations. Take a guess why. I’ll give you 2 but you’ll only need 1.
The more I read this the more difficult to understand their criteria for “most admired”. This has got to be a bogus study from Denmark or any of the other socialist countries in the area. China at the top?
You’ve obviously never lived in Germany. The women tend to be masculine, the men tend to be feminine. Passive aggressive behavior is normal - Seattle level on that front.
32 hour work weeks, little room for upward mobility, so they build in lots of paid vacation in order to keep you happy in your tiny flat.
Like the US, most rural German towns and people are much better.
Quit whining. Nobody forced you to open the thread.
Clearly. In other news, no one in the world wants to immigrate here, says Gallup.
Joe Biden is sane, too.
Human nature doesn’t change. The only thing that changes is the scenery.
