Sweet Lu Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I think it is a shame that people that are honest and try to be diplomatic are viewed as phoney and suck ups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cult Icon Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 I've noticed for a long time that the press, politicians, and political science academia in France & Germany seem to blatantly make disparaging and usually ill-founded comments (conspiracy theories, exaggerations, misinformation, historical revisionism, etc.) directed towards the USA (as a rhetorical tool to advance their own domestic policy positions). The USA has always been the "Big cheese" internationally in public thought... and the cheese that needs to get "knocked down" in rhetoric.This affects the views of foreign nationals artificially and some get into it..too far.

COP11 Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Yes very true, but when shit hits the fan over there who do they call? The U.S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cult Icon Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Yes very true, but when shit hits the fan over there who do they call? The U.S. Yeah or they send diplomats to get a slice of whatever the USA's is having Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cult Icon Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Another factor that contributes to this is the general US hegemony in entertainment and consumer brands everywhere & military presence. Imagine if Chinese soldiers had bases in America and 2/3rds of entertainment, retail, and consumer goods were all the product of Chinese-directed brands & creative decision making. That's how a lot of Europeans and many Canadians (from what I've seen) feel. It is interesting though- and is something that US nationals in general aren't used to. I think that most Americans don't have any strong views about the people in European countries because they are usually reported in the press in a dispassionate way or as a mere footnote.
