    No one that matters believes you've ever traveled outside your neighborhood.

    For some weird reason politicians like Trump and George Dumbya Bush reduce America's stature in the world, and travelling internationally one gets a palpable sense of increased anti-Americanism.

    Canada is great. Even from a simple tour through central and western Canada I saw many things that made me feel really good. The recycle bins in every hotel room was just one of them. It was Canada day while we were there and it ended up being perfectly fine. Much more enjoyable and less rambunctious then our usual 4th festivities.

    I think Canucks have an excellent reputation internationally because of the way they comport themselves on the world state.

    They have never started a war.

    They are very active in UN peacekeeping operations.

    Canada might be the only country in the world that has a military memorial in it's capital city dedicated to Peacekeeping Missions by the armed forces of Canada.

    And, by world standards, they obviously have a democratic, progressive social welfare states that respects the rights of citizens and generally welcomes refugees and immigrants.

    It has. Sad that leftists hate America and celebrate pariah nations.

    I haven't listened to the video but I'd have a hard time believing that since the US has essentially been the worlds policeman since WWII and that death due to war, as a percentage of the population, are at historical lows and that with just reasons the post war era has been called the Pax Americana, that the US has done more to enhance peace and prosperity that any nation in human history has.

    I've discovered in my travels in Asia (and I've been to Japan, Philippines, Hong Kong, South Korea and China) that there are only two US States as far as they are concerned. California and next to California.

    Warts and all...I have to agree. That doesn't mean we haven't done some pretty appalling things and that there isn't room for improvement but as I said previously, this era of human civilization isn't called the Pax Americana for nothing.

    If the USA, as a world power were to vanish than economic collapse and violent upheavels would occur all over the world.

    As ugly as Americans can be...we've done a pretty good job of protecting and policing the rest of the world from some pretty bad guys. I'm not being a nationalist either. The evidence of the impact of US international leadership is overwhelming.

    I can't speak to southeast Asia, but Europeans know more than a few of our states. I have teenage relatives in Russia who are fully aware of Texas, Florida, Hawaii, Alaska, etc.

    I have told some Europeans that buck teeth and sloped foreheads usually indicate West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, et al.
