The global financial crisis is sparking a new wave of anti-Americanism in Europe, where the intensity of America-bashing in some countries is reaching levels not seen since the United States invaded Iraq in 2003.
The turmoil on Wall Street has been greeted with a smug chorus of ridicule emanating from nearly every European country, whether big [...]

I like this article. Pat Buchanan is pointing out the obvious, but America can’t seem to see clearly.
Poland wants to charge us billions for permission to site a missile defense base on Polish soil. This is to defend Poland and other European countries, mind you. Are the Polish nuts?
Polls show that Europe is no [...]

What makes America such an indispensable power is precisely what makes anti-Americanism inevitable
It amuses me that some of those who criticise the present US Administration for its Manichaeism - its division of the world into good and evil - themselves allocate all past badness to Bush and all prospective goodness to Obama. As the ever-improving [...]

Much has been written about the rise of Chinese nationalism and its implications for the stability of Northeast Asia. But Korean nationalism could prove to be just as destabilizing.
The two Koreas, even combined, are no match for China’s economic and military might. But the latent intensity of nationalism on both sides of the peninsula’s demilitarized [...]

Anti-Americanism is at record levels thanks to US policies such as the war in Iraq, and Washington’s perceived hypocrisy in abiding by its own democratic values, US lawmakers said Wednesday.
The committee also says unilateralism, particularly in military action, has led to “anger and a fear of attack that are transforming disagreements with US policy into [...]

Despite popular myth, anti-Americanism in Europe isn’t on the rise.
In Europe, as in nearly everywhere else in the world, the image of the United States has taken a severe battering during the Bush years. Survey after survey shows that negative feelings toward America and U.S. policies have soared. Only 36 percent of Europeans, for example, [...]

Those Canadians who hope to see the new Asian giants rival the U.S. in a few decades as the great global engine and the new big market for Canada simply do not realize that such a change would be an unmitigated disaster for us.
China is a brutal one-party dictatorship, a mixture of totalitarianism and unbridled [...]

The Great Hall of American Hatred, otherwise known as United Nations headquarters, is getting a face lift. It began earlier this month when UN officials gathered to break ground on what just might be the world’s most expensive fixer upper. Shoveling more than ceremonial dirt, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said at the ground breaking, “today [...]

Look at how our friends the British view Americans.

Ugh – just had the worst experience on the tube – some dumb liberal heard me speaking with a friend and deliberately started talking in a loud voice about the American Gov’t staging 9/11. I asked her to take her offensive views out of my [...]

This is an interesting article. It gives us a clue about why South Koreans have no problem showing their anti-Americanism but might be hesitant about showing anti-Chinese behavior. They fear the Chinese and don’t fear the Americans.
From the article:
An American living in Seoul recently asked me this unexpected question: “What would have happened if the [...]

These phoney humanitarian protests, however, are in reality nothing more than a cheap camouflage used to cover the real reason for the German left’s opposition to the deal, namely, its deep-rooted anti-Americanism.
It’s bad enough that such anti-accord Germans seem to have forgotten 9/11, a good part of which was planned in their country. Many of [...]

It is impossible to spend even a few days in Europe without encountering the striking anti-Americanism that suffuses the political media of the continent. Barack Obama’s spiritual mentor Rev. Jeremiah Wright would feel quite at home here.
Extensive polling shows that this constant drumbeat of leftist propaganda has also filtered down to ordinary citizens.
This “unpopularity” has [...]

A poll shows that 34 percent of first-year army cadets called the United States the main enemy of South Korea, a former superintendent of the Korea Military Academy (KMA) said.
Kim Choong-bae, president of the Korea Institute for Defense Analyses, disclosed a past survey of 250 KMA entrants to single out “the country’s main enemy” while [...]

Most global surveys on image spotlight negative views of the U.S. But a new poll of U.S. perceptions of Britain shows a plunge. Since it’s the U.K.’s turn under this microscope, we’ll venture some reasons.
But from a BBC World Service poll of 1,000 Americans, it’s clear U.S. views of Britain have fallen sharply. The BBC [...]

Barack Obama and Reverend Jeremiah Wright are in hot water. Newspapers and news stations across the world have been reporting on Wright’s “inflammatory rhetoric” (as Obama’s campaign is calling it) in 2003 when he called upon his Chicago congregation to reject the hymn “God Bless America” and instead shout “G-d Damn America.” Wright denounced the [...]

The one goal that unites and explains the Democratic approach to foreign policy is this: America must try—urgently and desperately—to be more popular in the world.
“The world was with us after 9/11,” explains Hillary Clinton. “We have so squandered that goodwill and we’ve got to rebuild it.” Barack Obama has said that the “single most [...]

Greeks’ moral and cultural superiority over their neighbours, combined with their sufferings in World war II, entitled Greece to much more: all of Cyprus, plus territory in Albania, Bulgaria, Yugoslav Macedonia, European Turkey and perhaps even Libya.
The US, however, failed to recognise Greece’s entitlement. With the Cold war looming on the horizon, the US government [...]

Recently, two European nations have emerged from a long period of national humiliation and, in a way, subservient position toward the USA: Germany and Russia. In both instances, there is a new sense of stability in the minds of the countries’ elite, and this required a new vision of the past. In this construction of [...]
