Three quarters of Germans consider the United States to be an unreliable partner, according to a survey published on Thursday.
78% of those queried currently consider France to be a trustworthy partner and 74% consider the UK to be a trustworthy partner.
According to the survey, 40% consider Ukraine to be a trustworthy partner, while 48% of respondents believe that Germany cannot trust Ukraine.
It is pretty common that the US especially with Republican presidents is not seen as trustworthy in Germany, but 15% is really low. Especially given that the AfD is above 25% in polls and they are basically the Trumpists of Germany.
I think it is qualitatively the same in Sweden. People dislike Trump but vote for the same politics. It seems like some coping mechanism, where they try and distance themselves from Trump, because even to European racists he is disgusting, and that makes them think it is ok to keep voting for it.
The greatest enemy of any right wing chauvinist is a right wing chauvinist from a different culture.
Americans have lost faith in the United States.
Decent ones, yeah.
They’re the only ones that count, for me. But yeah, I should specify for the Nazis in the crowd, lest they get the wrong idea. 😉
15% of people surveyed in Germany do not pay attention to anything going on around them. No shot they have any idea what the US is doing and still think they are trustworthy. Well, I guess it could make sense if their schools are as bad as ours are.
If you take a look at every survey out there, there will always be 10% idiots. Regardless of what you’re polling for, 10% of the answers will be batshit insane. You can ask questions like “Do you want to be more healthy in the new year” and 10% will answer “no”. You can ask “Do you want to quit smoking” and 10% will answer that they want to increase their tobacco usage.

Those are totally valid answers. There are healthy people who do not want to be more healthy and others who have given up who have chosen other goals.
Same with smoking. There are smokers who enjoy it and don’t want to give it up.
That’s not crazy.
Americans have decided this too. Just saw an interview with Jesse Ventura… who declared that the USA is now a 3rd world country thanks to Republicans… and he used to be a Republican!
So have Americans.
Aber sowas von.
