Alright class, what does this picture represent?
1. Places where American citizens live by the end of the decade?
2. The worldwide distribution of Democrats Abroad?
3. The last tax haven on Earth?
4. Obama’s foreign policy?
5. All the countries which the average American can identify on a map?
6. American Exceptionalism?
7. The coalition of the willing?
8. A selfie of America with all its BFF’s?
9. All the countries which will enjoy reciprocity under FATCA?
10. Countries trading primarily in US Dollars by the time a 6th grader finishes high school?
Pupils are invited to add to the list.
Don’t worry, all answers will be marked as correct – we support No Child Left Behind™.

You write: “US foreign policy is causing other countries to not want anything to do with the United States”
Oh sure, it’s obvious that NATO is falling apart. (The Poles and the Baltic states would like nothing better than 10,000 US troops to be stationed there.) And Obama just put together rather quickly a coalition of 10 states of the Middle East to combat the Islamic State. I’m glad for personal reasons that I’m no longer a US citizen, but like it or not, America is still the “indispensable nation” (Madeleine Albright) in matters of foreign policy.
@Animal
What was that story that provoked those comments? The link provided went to a story about American obesity.
The globe picture reminded me of this map of the world that made the rounds on Twitter a while back:

Publius, some asshole commented that it was “conservative states” that were most obese. Got tired of their “liberal schtick” so I pretty much went in full Anti-American mode.

M66.. You’re damned fucking right I don’t like it. Considering the fact that everyone of those countries are blinded to the fact that the US does what it likes not to help out other nations; but to increase their “power base”. The two bolded comments above shows just how “rahrah USA” you still are, regardless of where you now live.
I don’t like it when a foreign country invades my and my wife’s wallet and the sooner the United States goes the way of the dinosaurs, the better. If I can do anything to help it go down the toilet faster, within legal means, I will. And I really don’t give a flying shit if YOU like that or not.
