'The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing' Burke
While many countries may take a moral and sometimes military stance against evil it is the USA acts as the world policeman. There have been failures in policy and tactics, but the trend has been to encourage the expansion of democratic freedom around the world.

I think the U.S. is a threat to world peace, but just not the greatest threat. Those who seek power are thr greatest threat. In the U.S. the drive for power is always tempered with what is most profitable, which holds back the U.S. back from going all out, which would ultimately damage the economy and reduce profits. However the U.S. has pretty much been in the top ten threats to world peace for my entire life.

That we have moved into mor eof a world evonomy, means the rich care more and more free to go too far, was they can minpulate economies with wars to be most profitable to themselves.

Probably the truest line from teh bible is the one that reads "The love of money is the root of all evil". It is oftne misquoted as "the love of money is th eroot of all evil." However to love money mor ethan the well beign of your community, country or humanity in general will pretty much always leads to acts of evil

Are the American taxpayers financing this brouhaha?

It doesn't surprise me at all. And it irks me that Australia has been there kissing the USA arse everytime it has been dragged into some immoral war. We are just as culpable

I’m afraid so....and we in the UK have gone along with most of the USA’s warmongering !

I saw several alternative news clips about this after that poll was released a few years ago. It was disheartening for US citizens to learn this, as it was for me, a citizen of Canada, but sadly not surprising.
This one doesn't say a word but tells a story.

I don't think another even comes close.

We have soldiers mostly everywhere and interfere in everybody's politics, support the wrong guys sometimes...
