What does the world think?

[detbuch]

It would be interesting to take a survey of what The U.S thinks about the rest of the world. Or a survey of what Russia thinks about the rest of the world? Or China. Or what Germany thinks about Poland. Or what Sweden thinks about Germany. Or what Hungary thinks about the rest of Europe. Or what the rest of Europe thinks about Hungary. Or what Europe thinks about Africa. Or what Iran thinks about the rest of the world.

What's so special about the rest of the world. Is every country supposed to be all things to all people.

What do Americans think about America?

So the answer is that we all unite as one world a la Star Trek. Would that be the New World Order? The One World Order? But that New World Order thing is just a right wing conspiracy.

It’s quite apparent that you didn’t read the link or look at the information.

I did read the link. I was surprised we did as well as the survey claims. I've thought for a long time that Western Europeans considered they were better than us in most every way other than militarily. Europe has a great history. But it's become a sort of better than thou weakling that likes to pat itself on the back for what it considers a job well done. Maybe they're smokin some strange weed.

My point is that eventually and even a dumb bunny like me realizes it’s probably well beyond even my kids life time, global issues will require a global solution. Ice caps melting, oceans filled with plastic, pesticides killing ecosystems, rain forests disappearing and climate change just to name a few. But hey surround use with a giant wall, let nobody in and you and your children can live out your lives in isolation on Trump Island.

We get the government we deserve. A bitter pill for some but certainly not a life sentence. 8 years will go by quickly.

Please tell me of a global superpower who does more for the environment

Not debating that we don’t do alot, but this administration has taken steps backwards and in a couple of decades will it matter if the rest of the world degrades the environment. You might put a wall around your country, but the air you breath, the ozone keeping you from buying 150 block sun screen and the sea levels are not under USA control.

Then let us do the thing that is under USA control.

Golly gee wiz thanks for stating the obvious, I guess you missed my point, I’m just saying global problems are on the horizon and we will need global solutions. Short term thinking might have gotten us and the planet this far, but it won’t be long before the writing on the wall today demands action by all the major powers; even to developing nations.

I was just funning with you. As you imply, building a wall is under the control of the U.S.A. But, as you say: "the air you breath, the ozone keeping you from buying 150 block sun screen and the sea levels are not under USA control." So I suggested that we do what is under our control. But I do know what you mean and intend. Just like I know what Trump means and intends when he says contradictory or mumbly stuff.

In all seriousness, read the UN accords on solving global warming, or climate change. I read the Copenhagen accords. Give it a try and tell me what you think.
