Are you happy and satisfied with yourselves? So many people in the world not only dislike you but also hate and can’t stand you. Already for years anti-americanism is quite natural for young intellectuals in all parts of the world. Unfortunately, not only for them. Including Europe. Your embassies are turned into fortresses even in allied countries, in peaceful European countries. Even Russian embassies do not look so armed. Thousands of your soldiers, young people die in many countries of the world. Nobody wants to buy your goods, your workers lose their work. Even so friendly UK sneers at your famous American cars.
You don’t believe - just look yourselves how the British evaluate (whatcar.uk) your cars ... Cadillac Escalade two stars of five, Chrysler Sebring – the same – only two stars, Dodge Avenger (Charger) – two, Hummer H3 – only one, Chrysler 300C – achievement! – three stars. Do we have to wonder that one of the biggest car markets – Europe – practically ignore the American production? It could be only half of the trouble but also Russians, Chinese and others are being influenced by it.
For the young people America is connected with bubbles of Coca-Cola and McDonalds which parents usually abuse about using the most terrible words since their children’s childhood and doctors shout even louder. At least in two European countries – at schools it is forbidden officially to sell sodas.
The most recognizable symbols are ... Paris Hilton and Britney Spears.
The world more and more compares the USA with the collapsed USSR which had an impressive army, disgusting cars and weak money.
The economics of America has limped for years. The well-known researcher Tony Judt in his book „Postwar: A History of Europe Since 1945” shows that the economics of America became a shadow of Europe long ago – already in 2000 Europeans’ direct investments into the economics of the USA were 900 billion USD against 650 billion Americans’ direct investments in Europe. America got almost 70% out of all external investments from Europe and multinational companies in Europe then had a great amount of American cult products.
Almost every evening the biggest Russian TV channel PRIME TIME in its comments nastily jeers at Americans. For example, saying that American military doctrine can be characterized very simply – unpunished killing of unarmed opponent from a certain distance.* It can’t and mustn’t be called just a simple point of view, it is an information channel for hundreds of millions of people in Russia and behind its borders.
Americans, are you happy and satisfied?
It seems that a part of Americans has understood that now it’s the time to change something. That’s why they trusted Obama to rule the country.
Europeans characterized it shortly – it is the best what could have happened to America.
But having a look from aside it seems that many
Americans haven’t understood it yet. There are Americans who call themselves – Christians and patriots of the country but it doesn’t disturb them from propagating hostile offence against Obama on the Internet. Not long ago in a big surprise I saw a picture, sent out by these patriots, where the following can be seen – „Somewhere in Kenya a Village is Missing its Idiot”.
I only want to ask these American patriots how can you be proud of the country where the elected president is missing idiot in Kenya village?
Now it’s the time when Americans have to join together at last in order to change something. It’s the time to support a person who the world is ready to listen attentively to. To listen and to hear.
Let’s hope that Americans will understand it and finally that day will come when thousands of young Americans and their opponents who are usually the same age don’t die because of high-flown antiamericanism.
Let’s hope that a day will come when Americans in the whole world do not have to hide themselves in the fortresses of embassies.
Let’s hope that a day will come when Americans do not have to lose their work only because American cars and other goods are something strange.
Let’s hope that Obama does not have the same destiny as Gorbatcov. Gorbatcov is still being respected and admired abroad while Russians can’t understand that he gave to Russia a possibility to get back its self-respect and took away a disgrace sign of the aggressor.
Americans must understand that Obama symbolizes not only Changes but also a Challenge. Positive.
Have a nice Day and be careful!
