I’m sitting here watching the Republican Convention, and I realize that Americans like to talk a lot about what a great nation we are. This question is more for the guys who aren’t American, but of course everyone’s opinions are welcome.

So, a few questions for you guys:

1. How is American viewed outside the US? Are we a good friend or an obnoxious overbearing country?

2. Are we an ally with your interests at heart, or do we push our ideology on other countries?

3. Do we seem to vote against ours and your best interest?

4. Do you prefer when we vote for a Democrat or a Republican? Not necessarily in this election, but in general.

I’m just curious how you guys view my country from your self interest.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

1. – I can only speak for the UK and by no means everyone. Most people I know view the US favorably. Personally my only gripe would be the occasional arrogance some show towards other cultures, including other democracies. An American once told me this was due to lack of education through schools, promoting US greatness (as it should) but failing to recognize any achievements elsewhere, therefore giving the impression they were better than everyone else. I don’t know how true this is. Any comment will be welcome. I find this far less now since the internet and people can communicate easily on a global scale.

2. – As far as the UK is concerned we are and will always be allies and friends. I’m not so sure about the middle east. You, us and no one will ever change their own beliefs or culture for our kind of democracy. The whole middle east is a mess. When you say ‘we’ I see it as the US government not the people.

3. – Without really understanding internal politics in the US I’m not really qualified to comment. However there always seems to be more people unhappy with government than happy. Bit like the UK really! You should however always vote for your own best interests.

4. – Once again I don’t know the pro’s and con’s of each party in detail. I’m certainly not a leftist so if forced to vote, as it is I’d vote for Trump

Women are so bad, if they changed the law so I kept the house, I still wouldn't marry one. I'd rather be homeless.
