Non U.S. views on U.S. foreign policy
Starting this thread off with an interview of the Philippine's President Duterte last May. It's on RT, which of course is as bias as CNN, but his responses to the questions regarding his views on U.S. policy are consistent with other interviews and comments he has made.
He isn't the only foreign leader growing tired of excessive U.S. meddling in their internal affairs. While I don't agree with many of Dutarte's decisions, it is past time for us to start listening as much as we preach. Failure to do so will result in decreased influence over time.

A positive influence globally on world affairs
Via Twitter and from the World Economic Forum:
Quote:
The idea of the United States as a “shining city upon a hill” is most closely associated with President
Ronald Reagan but has been used by politicians since the country’s earliest days.
The founding founders wanted America to be a beacon of freedom and democracy that would light the way for the rest of the world.
But it seems the brightness of that light has faded of late, with a new survey showing a significant and sudden drop in the number of people around the world who see the United States as having a positive influence.
The US ‘approval’ rating has dropped by 24 percentage points since last year's survey.
