Do u think that the US goverment is a World Bully & applies double standard in international politics ?

Question

I certainly think so & i have so many arrguments, but i need to hear ur opinion. I also think that Britian is the coward that always hangs out with a bully 4 protection & does what the bully says or do.
My questions might be contraversal for objective opinions, debate & open minded persons.

Answer 1

Yes, I do believe that this country's current administration is extraordinarily disengenuous, deceitful, arrogant, bullying, and hypocritical. I am dismayed and frightened by the actions of Bush and Cheney and their cohorts. They make Nixon look benign!

Many English people, as well as many Americans, are distressed with what is going on. Don't confuse the people with their governmental leaders.

Answer 2

I'm not sure if the term bully applies..but understand why with the bush administration people think so.!.Without doubt we can be a country with double standards but than again I can't think of one government that don't have double standards.. America as the only world superpower has the worlds eyes focused on it..and although there have been a great many conflicts in the world in recent history people are not motivated to criticize unless America is involved..let me give you example ..When the soviets occupied Afghanistan..there were little or no international protest !
The same can be said of African conflicts today....
As far as Britain is concerned They can handle their own..what you see between Britain and America is a historical relationship
that spans decades !

How does it enhance debate to sling insults?

You could have conveyed your opinion and asked your questions without that.

There are people in the US who take advantage of our world politics, no question. It isn't great for the people who live here, either. If you say we are a 'world bully' ok, but what should we do when a head of state has $25,000 paid to surviving families of suicide bombers to encourage their actions against 'western interests', and harbors terrorists?

I think that just as much as our government reflects on us if we don't overturn it, there is some responsibility there on the part of that head of state if his country gets invaded. Mind you, I don't know everything our government knew when they did it, and unlike you I assume they must have had reasons that seemed compelling at the time. Certainly they were NOT the only ones who thought there were WMD, and I suspect Saddam WANTED the world to think he had them.

Britian is a coward because it runs to war?

I'm still trying to get my mind around that one.

Answer 4

No

Give some examples on how you think this? If the USA was such bullies as you say, then why do we give billions and billions of dallors to other nations constantly. If you are talking about Iraq, The UN (many other countries included) enforces human rights international laws that protect the world not just USA.

Answer 5

The countries attempting to get nuclear weapons signed a nonproliferation treaty. for this reason they get in worry for attempting to lead them to (with the UN). numerous countries have nuclear bombs not in undemanding terms the U. S., however the international agreed to combat for nonproliferation. I strongly disagree with countless issues i might desire to do. Pay taxes for one. How do you end a genocide without conflict? help Darfur. Japan declared conflict on the U. S. not any incorrect way around. the U. S. has veto potential (alongside with quite a few different countries) because of the fact that is going to pay nearly all of the UN invoice. something of the international could like for the U. S. to pay for each thing yet be powerless I"m optimistic, yet does not that recommend they have double common besides? Why do not different countries sanction us in the event that they so disagree? they have the potential to impose an embargo, why do not they? you could might desire to ask them that, it isn't the U. S.' fault they gained't. it is their hypocrisy. we don't might desire to park planes in Israel, we park them on airplane carriers interior the gulf. In Kuwait. And in Qatar. Exploiting them for oil? as quickly as we purchase a BMW are we exploiting German electorate? we are paying for there stuff. it is all. they had have not got any gross revenues if it weren't for Opec. Why blame the U. S. for this? maximum midsection-jap oil is going someplace else mutually as we get ours from Venezuela and Canada. isn't Belgium exploiting the midsection-east for oil by your reasoning? If countries are prepared to "lick the U. S.' boots" it is their fault, isn't it?

Answer 6

Of course we have double standards. But please mention one country that does not have double standards !!!! We are certainly pointed out because of they magnitude of our influence in the WORLD, you have to think about the really of things, every country has to look out for its people, that is their primary responsibility, It is not our JOB to care for others. Our government need to care about our interest no matter what.
Take the Middle East for instance, we don’t really care for those people, but we are there because it suits us, we are sucking them dry from their national recourses so that we don’t have to use our own for the mean time. But by the time the oil in this earth starts being scares, we will have already achieved energy independence. We could spent all day pointing fingers, but that is the really. I don’t know what country you are from, but I can guarantee you that your country is doing want is in your best interest, if not that your country is a populist country and misguided, such nations are weak and get taken advantage by the stronger powers. Government is a natural phenomenon, anywhere where there are people, their will be a natural need to create a structure, and organization that looks after the best interest of the group, anything that differs from that is artificial.

And I love being an AMERICAN, there is no better place on EARTH, if you think there is, please let me know and be specific as to what country you are refering. Thanks

Answer 7

Yes, but so are all the other governments. ALL GOVERNMENTS rule on behalf of their elites are are indifferent to things like "decency" and "justice." Don't fall into the age-old trap that only the "Big Dog" is a mean dog.

The U.S. government is something new, however. It has NO interest in its populace at all, it's constituency is cooperate wealth (true of all western nations but this started in earnest in the states and is at its most advanced stage there)

The days of the nation-state are ending in any case. In a hundred years there will only be a handful of them and they will be eventually powerless in any case.

Welcome to the new order...

Answer 8

NO.

I think that people who believe that are woefully ignorant and generally not worth much of my time.
