Anti-Americanism and who is the biggest threat on earth?
Anti-Americanism and who is the biggest threat on earth?
12/2/17
It
may surprise people to know that the United States is quite hated worldwide,
especially in the Middle East, Russia, where America has been alleged as the
biggest terrorist in the world. Why a country known as kingdom of democracy and
human rights values, a super enemy of terrorism all over the world has become
the biggest threat to the world peace like that. Let find down about
Anti-Americanism and its causes.
Anti-Americanism, anti-American sentiment, or
sometimes Americanophobia is dislike of or opposition to the United States governmental
policies, especially the foreign policy practices of the United States,
or American
people in general. Criticism largely originates from the
perception that the United States military wants to act
as a "world policeman".
Political
scientist Brendon O'Connor of the United States Studies Centre suggests
that anti-Americanism cannot be isolated as a consistent phenomenon
and that the term originated as a rough composite of stereotypes, prejudices
and criticisms toward Americans or the United States, evolving to more
politically based criticism. French scholar Marie-France Toinet says use of the
term anti-Americanism "is only fully justified if it implies
systematic opposition – a sort of allergic reaction – to America as a
whole".
Discussions
on anti-Americanism have in most cases lacked a precise definition of what the
sentiment entails (other than a general disfavor), which has led to the term
being used broadly and in an impressionistic manner, resulting in the inexact
impressions of the many expressions described as anti-American. Negative views
of the United States are generally strongest in the Middle East, Russia,
and Europe.
The
U.S. has been criticized for making statements supporting peace and respecting
national sovereignty, but while carrying out military actions such as in Grenada, fomenting a civil war in Colombia to break off
Panama, and Iraq. The U.S. has been criticized for advocating free trade but
while protecting local industries with import tariffs on
foreign goods such as lumber and agricultural products. The U.S. has also
been criticized for advocating concern for human rights while
refusing to ratify the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
The U.S. has publicly stated that it is opposed to torture,
but has been criticized for condoning it in the School of the Americas. The U.S. has
advocated a respect for national sovereignty but has supported internal
guerrilla movements and paramilitary organizations, such as the Contras in
Nicaragua. The
U.S. has been criticized for voicing concern about narcotics production in
countries such as Bolivia and Venezuela but
doesn't follow through on cutting certain bilateral aid programs.
The
U.S. has been criticized by Noam Chomsky for
opposing nationalist movements in foreign countries, including social reform.
President Bush has been criticized for
neglecting democracy and human rights by
focusing exclusively on an effort to fight terrorism. The
U.S. was criticized for alleged prisoner abuse at Guantánamo
Bay, Abu Ghraib in Iraq, and secret CIA
prisons in eastern Europe,
according to Amnesty International.
Another
conception of Anti-Americanism is American imperialism
which is the economic, military and cultural influence of the United States on
other countries. Such influence is often closely associated with expansion into
foreign territories. The concept of an American Empire was first popularized
during the presidency of James K. Polk who
led the United States into the Mexican–American War of 1846, and the
eventual annexation of California and other western
territories via the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo and
the Gadsden purchase.
It’s not groundless that the U.S. has been
suspected and hated worldwide, and from nowhere Anti-Americanism came. It comes
from the U.S. hypocrisy of promoting democratic and human rights values all
over the world, in fact, the U.S. has just tried to put pressure and influence
on other nations for its political purposes and interests. And in these
process, the U.S. even contradicted with its most close ally, Western Europe. Conflicting
attitudes toward security and military issues – especially in the wake of the
war in Iraq – are also a major source of tension between the United States and
Western Europe. Americans are more likely than Western Europeans to believe in
the necessity of sometimes using force to deal with global threats. And
Americans are much more comfortable with the idea of military preemption – the
use of force against potentially threatening countries who have not attacked –
than are Western Europeans.
The
US is dedicated to increasing terrorism. In fact, it’s doing it all over the
world. America is running the biggest terrorist operation that
exists, maybe in history: the drone assassination campaigns, which are
just part of it. All of these operations, they are terror operations and war
crimes. The United States has long been an exporter of terrorism, according to
a secret CIA analysis released Wednesday by the Web site WikiLeaks. The
head and special agent in charge of the FBI’s Los Angeles office said that most terror attacks are
committed by our CIA and FBI. Some in the American military have intentionally
tried to “out-terrorize the terrorists”.
America’s
past and present testifies the fact that there is no country in the world
matching its destructive oriented policies. The US is the sole country which
annihilated millions of inhabitants of Nagasaki and Hiroshima by using hydrogen
bombs. Even today no living being in the two affected cities are safe from the
thermonuclear aftereffects. Large number of countries had to go through rigors
of civil war on account of US intrigues. In its bid to bring down populist
elected governments of targeted countries, CIA and FBI secretly provided arms
and funds to rebel groups and converted democracy into dictatorship. After
making full use of the selected dictator, when he outlived his utility and
became a liability, he was branded a traitor and popular movement organized
against him. After creating political and economic instability, spreading
lawlessness and inducing a civil war like situation, the US forces were pushed
in under the pretext of saving the people from the cruel clutches of dictator.
Tunes of freedom and democracy were played up full blast. Afghanistan, Iraq and
now Libya are cases in point where the people have been deprived of peace and
independence.
And now, after D.Trump becomes the 45th U.S. President, he has issued a travel ban on seven Muslim-majority nations shuting down entry chances of Muslim refugees into the U.S., which would likely makes the hatred deep worldwide. And, the world now see America as an opponent country against human rights values.
Prejudice, fanaticism, extremism, intolerance
and cruelty are some of the characteristics deeply ingrained into the minds of
US officials and elites. With such hideous traits and black track record, on
what basis the US is voicing its concerns about terrorism, human rights and
democracy when it is the biggest threat state of the world./.

The U.S. has been criticized by Noam Chomsky for opposing nationalist movements in foreign countries, including social reform.
Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright is slamming President's Trump's travel ban as reckless and "flat anti-American."
Opponents say it actually makes America less safe because it is an unconstitutional and discriminatory policy that represents a first step toward fulfilling Trump’s campaign pledge to ban Muslim immigration.
America has made it become the most hatred country all over the world.
Trump has became the enemy of all, terrorists, Democrats, LGBT, feminists, Muslim, refugeesand now even human rights activists would go against him.
There’s a reason why, in international polls, run by US polling agencies, the United States is regarded as the greatest threat to world peace by an overwhelming margin.
Yes, the most country has been hatred in the world. No other country is even close. It’s kind of interesting that the US media refused to publish this. But it doesn’t go away.
It's so ironic that there are many individuals who have always praised the U.S. as an ideal mode for democracy and human rights.
The Statue of Liberty's message is in fact one of open arms and welcoming people, and I do think that there are tears in the eyes of the statue at the moment.
Stop worshipping America as heaven for human rights and democracy, they are not like what you think!
