The mood on the international conference call at the beginning of this month was somber as Ian Bremmer, president of the political risk consulting firm Eurasia Group, prepared to list off top global dangers in the coming year. Bremmer began with a show-stopping line:
"If we had to pick one year for a big unexpected crisis — the geopolitical equivalent of the 2008 financial meltdown — it feels like 2018." The reasons are many, Bremmer cited, but the most prominent causes for global insecurity stem from U.S. President Donald Trump's move away from global leadership, and China's eagerness to fill the perceived vacuum.
Donald Trump pledged to "Make America Great Again." The world thinks he is doing the opposite.
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.
The reasons for America's drop – the second straight year its ranking dipped – are fueled by the world's perceptions of the country becoming less progressive and trustworthy, more politically unstable and a president who after just a year in office is far more unpopular than any other head of state or company CEO...

They’re so used to us saving them time and time again from euro-evil and being their sugar daddy that growing up and standing on their own two feet looks rough to them.
Don’t believe these Lying Leftist Media outlets like US News. They are presumed to be lying and we should presume what they publish is a lie. The presumption can only be rebutted with the outlet providing clear and convincing evidence they are not lying.
Why not post the TRUTH about the lies? You don't have to use the liar as the source to post a headline that alerts readers to a published lie. Use yourself as the source or a reasonably reliable source that addresses what the Lying Leftist source is saying. That way you have a headline and a source that your readers can reasonably rely on and they go away more informed about the lie AND the truth. You done the Patriotic Right a service. Much better than the mindless repetition of lying sources and their lying headlines.
Last I heard “the world” hated our guts.
What a conundrum.
The “world” has given its opinion of my country and I am fresh out of give-a-sh!t. I’m not expecting a new shipment until the second Thursday of next week, either.
What am I going to do?
It has not slipped in the eyes of the world. It is way more respected.
The world does not respect an apologizing wimp. The respect those that have power and use it.
That is the way the world thinks.
Missing Obama, the butt kisser.
US News.
Years and years ago when I was pretty young I was in a library looking up something. They had a collection of very old magazines and in there was a US News. Had an article in it saying the U.S. could’ve dropped the bomb in the water just off Hiroshima and had the same result.
I learned then about the anti-American slant that comes from US News.
NOBODY GIVES A DAMN WHAT THE EURO-FREAKSHOW CANDY-ASSES THINK OR WANT.................
You are right !
AMERICA FIRST - NO APOLOGIES !
Lazy article written from a template. Republicans in charge = the world hates the USA. Democrats in charge = the world respects the USA again.
i DON’T LIKE THIS “NEWS” ANY BETTER THAN YOU BUT IT IS THE HEADLINE.
I’ve added barf alerts as per FR SOP.
Bwahahahaha....
Yeah, the people from Davos claiming the US is slipping.
Bwahahahaha... Import some more 7th Century invaders guys, that should help.
Man, these people are delusional with jealousy.
Right-I hope we DISAPPEAR in the ‘eyes of the world’. Then, when they want another handout or someone to come and save them from their greedy, violent neighbors... DON”T CALL US-WE’LL CALL YOU!!
The world was laughing at us when Obama was apologizing. The world respects decisiveness and strength, though not all foreign countries may like it. Especially those who wish us ill.
That is spot on.
Trump says the days of OBAMA doormat-ism are over. Everyone goes into panic
So the Trumpocalypse was responsible for falling one measly position in their rankings? That's it? That's the reason for their dire headline?
Then why do so many people want to come here?
