Global perceptions of the U.S. have deteriorated for a second consecutive year and are now worse than views of Russia, an annual study on democracy published on Friday showed, as U.S. President Donald Trump's policies continue to severely strain the NATO alliance.
The Denmark-based Alliance of Democracies Foundation, which commissioned the survey, said the U.S. was also most frequently named in response to which country posed the greatest threat to the world, after Russia and Israel. The survey did not go into details on the criteria used, but the Alliance says its aim is to defend and advance democratic values.
"The fast decline of the United States' perception around the world is saddening but not shocking," alliance founder and former NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said.
"U.S. foreign policy over the past 18 months has, among other things, called into question the transatlantic relationship, imposed widespread tariffs, and threatened to invade a NATO ally's territory," he added.
Trump's tariffs, his repeated threats to control Greenland, a fellow NATO member through Denmark, a cut in U.S. aid to Ukraine as well as the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran and the ensuing spike in oil prices have deeply unsettled transatlantic relations.
Enraged that European countries have declined to send their navies to open the Strait of Hormuz to global shipping after the start of the air war on Iran, Trump in April said he considered withdrawing from NATO, further weakening the alliance.
The Democracy Perception Index survey, which ranks the perception of countries from -100% to +100%, showed that net perception of the U.S. had swung to -16% from +22% two years ago, placing it behind Russia at -11% and China at +7%. It did not provide a reason for the positive sentiment on China.

Polling firm Nira Data conducted the survey between March 19 and April 21, based on more than 94,000 respondents in 98 countries. Country perceptions were measured in a sample of 46,600 respondents in 85 countries.
The report was published ahead of the Copenhagen Democracy Summit, which takes place on May 12.

No, but they should be. It's Dems that have blasted the reputation of the US by resisting absolutely everything via lies and constant complaints.
Euroshits know they just have to wait Trump out at this point and with the, markedly dubious polls, pointing toward a midterm win for Dems (man, I hope they don't win, fucking trash), and Democunt promises to neuter dRumpf like they did with Russiagate horseshit in his first term, should play out in a few months.
And then Democrats will fuck everything up again, unless voters realize they're huge fuck ups.

Joe Biden ruined affordability with massive inflation.
He tanked the military, had a disastrous withdrawl in Afghanistan where he abandoned Abrams airforce base and enough military equipment to arm a small country.
Joe Biden destroyed the ability of law enforcement to know who was in the country, let alone safeguard against domestic crime.
Lockdowns ruined education.
Trump restored confidence in voting and the ballot which was lost because of the mail in balloting of democrats in 2020
Trump is literally fixing the White House East Wing. He is leaving it in better condition then he found it

Gerrymandering and SAVE act is cheating, not fixing. Everything not perfect but was working working until Trump started making moves. Are you lying on purpose.

Its really weird that Democrats support Biden's illegal war in Ukraine to cover up Hunter's crimes, but when you start a completely legal military operation to take nukes away from a longtime US enemy Dems start losing their minds

When did Biden actually send any bombers or troops into Ukraine?

Yeah that excuse ran out last friday. This is now an illegal war with no congressional approval. And the goal of "taking nukes away" has completely and utterly failed.

More Americans have died fighting in the Ukraine-Russia war then have died in the Iran war.
As of early 2026, reports indicate that at least 92 American citizens have been killed while fighting for Ukraine in the war against Russia, according to data from the National Museum of the History of Ukraine in the Second World War. Several thousand Americans have served in the Ukrainian Armed Forces, with deaths continuing to rise as foreign volunteers fill high-risk, front-line roles.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_fighters_in_the_Russo-Ukrainian_ war#United_States
As of early April 2026, 13 U.S. service members were confirmed killed in the conflict with Iran, following operations that began on February 28, 2026. This total includes six deaths from a refueling plane crash in Iraq and seven deaths from direct action in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia,

When in fact, more blood and treasure has been spent on Ukraine then has been spent on the Iran war.

Ukraine has been going on for over 4 years. Iran has been going on for 2 months.
Iran was started by Trump. Ukraine was not started by Biden.

It's really weird that Republicans support that which made a campaign platform last year: 'NO More Foreign Wars', yet starts one to cover up Trump's pedophilia. Even weirder that Trumptards such as the thing between >>1513760 and >>1513785 cannot bring itself to condemn the leader of a Republican party that refuses to make child marriages illegal in certaih states. Why, it's as if its an enabler of the Gang of Pedophiles' orange Pedo-in-Chief and is using this foreign war it promised there would never be - and the cultist above me is also using this war as an excuse & method of deflection: including that which is irrelevant to what's happening now as a pathetic example of 'Whataboutism' - as a method of distraction from the Epstein Files.
Point this out and the MAGAt between >>1513760 and >>1513785 (or MAGAts anywhere in this thread) will start losing its mind.
Or it can not reply to this or any other posts in this thread to prove it's not losing its mind.
That which continually uses a word that isn't real certainly keeps losing its mind. But then, that which isn't American but is a projecting foreign lolcow shill between >>1513520 and >>1513530 keeps proving it is insecure. It can prove its not insecure by not only not replying to this post but leaving /news/ as a whole if its so 'secure' in its supposedly 'superior' way of thinking.

NTA
Israel lobbies American politicians to do what they want via AIPAC and several other NGOs. They also use Mossad to coerce political leaders through sex and espionage or threats of violence.
Epstein was a self-described mossad agent. He worked with Maxwell, whose father was the most famous Israeli spy. He also had numerous estates filled with cameras and kept a cache of blackmail to coerce important individuals.
Israel's ultimate goal is to become a regional superpower. That's why the US has bombed each of its geopolitical rivals over the last few decades. This is also why the US keeps insisting that Iran has nuclear weapons. Iran was the biggest obstacle to Israel establishing regional hegemony. Once the US decapitates the leadership, a power vacuum is created and disparate warring factions atomize any cohesive resistance to Israel.
Trump is going along with whatever Israel wants because of blackmail and/or ethnocentric idealism. Maybe not on the part of Trump, but maybe his jewish and zionist-adjacent advisors that surround him.

In response to someone saying they can't afford gas, goods, groceries, and electricity under Trump.
Yes, gas was more expensive under Biden, but that anon could afford it, because his food, electric, and household goods bills weren't breaking his bank. Now they are, because EVERYTHING is more expensive under Trump.
Enjoy being able to smugly point that that 5 dollar peak for Biden while you can, by the way. The oil shock hasn't even hit yet.

That, at least in my area, was caused by the Democrats in charge raising property taxes citing inflation as the reasoning behind tax raping property owners.
And keeping in mind that in 2025 Democrats finally figured out that taxes are passed to the consumer, no one should have any objections to this being a reason for rent increases.

sadly I think this was going to happen anyway. Trump just put the plans into motion at light speed because he wants his face on the empire collapse due to being narcissistic, but think about it: Which of these wouldn't come to pass anyway? It's hard to think of even one that wouldn't end up turning to shit in the next 10-20 years of stagflation.

kek our paper tiger military can't even conquer a splotch of dirt on the other side of the planet and doesn't have the willpower for a ground invasion. When we tried using one of our capital ships to exert pressure, the laundry room caught on fire and it is now at port for two years.
American Military was strong because of NATO, because an American plane or ship or tank could be anywhere in the world in less than a week. Now, Orange Shithead has made it where there isn't a single NATO member who wants to even host a McDonalds with a US Flag. We are significantly weaker now than we were even two years ago when Biden was struggling to do something about Syria with his hidden ground invasions.

Which isn't the goal.

So because Trump hasn't given the order to send in a ground invasion, you think the ... oh I dunno, 1st battalion Marines don't have the motivation to take over another beach?

You probably don’t understand that any invasion of Europe from the East has been historically met generally with a grand alliance of European countries to fight back the hordes. It’s in our genetics. I absolutely do not want Ukraine to fall, and if the Americans don’t want to help that’s fine just stay out of it then but don’t pretend you’re going to help or not going to, you pledge to help you help

That was before Trump kept threatening and insulting them and cozying up to their enemies. For a while it looked like he was going to fucking invade them, and honestly he still might. Your allies don't stay allies if you treat them like shit.
Also, security treaties don't apply to offensive actions. Trump's the ones who attacked Iran, they're under no obligation to help.
>>

>>1514206
So when Israel was attacked on October 7th, I am sure Israel's European Allies followed through on their pledge and started bombing the Gaza strip right?
October 7th was an offensive action. Palestine was the ones who attacked Israel

>Trump's the ones who attacked Iran, they're under no obligation to help
This is fake news and merely a way for cowardly, weak, feminine Europeans to shirk their duties to their allies. This war started 47 years ago when Iran started it. We didn't start this war, but by God, we are gonna finish it.
>>
>>
>>
>>1514205
>Didn't the Europeans pledge to help the US in a security treaty, and then completely refuse to actually help in the Iran war?
Yes because the security treaty only covers wars declared against members and not by them; NATO is not obligated to help the US in every war they fucking start.
>But muh 47 years of war!
Yeah I'm sure the US spent over a dozen administrations plotting to counterattack; this is like claiming self defense for attacking a guy because he hit you four decades back.

Let's use the 2003 Iraq War and 9/11 attacks as an example. When George Bush was contemplating invoking Article 5 of NATO. How did that work?
The United States was attacked, on September 11th. By a terrorist organization which was lead by Osama Bin Laden. If the United States says "We were attacked you have to back us up" could the other NATO remembers respond "You were attacked by Terrorists on 9/11 and now you're going to war with Saddam Hussein. None of the 9/11 hijackers had Iraqi passports, the connection of Iraq to the attack you suffered is tumultuous"?

>The war in Iran affects them regardless.
Yeah in that it exists. If they joined the war it would be against the US to make them fuck off and stop either causing the Strait to be blocked or blocking it themselves. They have literally zero interest in any of the US' constantly shifting reasons for why we had to start a war in Iran.
>>

>>1514254
>Iran mined the strait retard.
Because the US started a war. You want them to start permitting mine sweepers, tell the US to stop blockading the strait and bombing them. FFS the US is currently ACTIVELY blockading the strait; the main thing stopping the EU from getting their ships and oil from it is them.
>>
>>
>>1514256
>Because the US started a war.
No, Israel started a war. The US bombed Iran because they knew Iran would hit neighboring US allies.
>tell the US to stop blockading the strait and bombing them
Iran has admitted that they don't know where some of the mines are. Those tankers you see hesitating are doing so not because they want to, but because the companies insuring them are threatening to cancel their contracts if they decide to brave the strait.
Europe can cope and seethe all it wants, but it has actively chosen *not* to help the US resolve this conflict.

>Neither is Ukraine
Neither was Sweden & Finland before a certain '72 hour total conquering of Ukraine' by Russia, and here we are: four years later and no total dominance of Ukraine thus assimilated into Russia, and NATO strengthened by two Scandinavian countries that weren't part of NATO before early 2022 that are since.
Congrats, Putin: you done fucked up more than if you'd simply stopped having wrong opinions & never had ideas above your station - a lowly KGB officer - in the first place.
But then an inferior subhuman Austrian would have never ended up taking 7.65mm Aspirin in a hole in the ground in 1945 if it had simply not had ideas above its station and remained what it had always been, certainly in a hole in the ground years later: a nothing. An irrelevance. An inferior subhuman. Which is what all rightards ultimately are.
