That is such typical bullying mentality!! Only a big stick works. I never went to school in the US, but if all the American depictions of high school are accurate, then no wonder the only way Americans think the world should work is by having some jock style attitude to rule their country and the world. 

You are aware if people are intelligent enough, it is possible to have respect without resorting to intimidation???? When you walk into a shop do you only get good service by intimidating the staff in the shop. Most people who are intimidated don't feel respect for the intimidator, maybe fear, but fear can be eroded once the intimidator's weakness is found.

If you are fan of the big stick, why not apply it across the whole country and bring back severe corporal punishment in schools. That obviously worked so well 100 years go to beat respect for teachers and parents into kids. That worked so well advanced societies got rid of them!! Go bring that back!

Some people fail to evolve and refuse to evolve. They just want everyone to be Neanderthals and not content at being Neanderthals themselves, they want to stop progress and keep everyone at being Neanderthals, like them.

When your only mental tool is a hammer, everything looks like a nail :)

The same tactics don't work on all people. Being nice and cooperative works with like minded people. Someone who has a different mentality, a more manipulative mentality for instance will see this as weakness and use it against them. Think Russia, China and NK currently. Those Dictatorships know what they want and what they want to do and it's not about cooperation. It's about appeasement to get what they want while manipulating the outcome and changing the rules. A show of force and a direct somewhat intimidating tone is needed in certain situations. 

If you were getting attacked would you fight back? Or would you take your beating because you don't believe in violence.?

If you really thing embarrassing and alienating your allies, neighbors and disrespecting your enemies makes your country and its position in the world stronger, I really can't help you. 

The respect for the USA worldwide is at an all-time low my friend. As is the respect for the US-American President. Make America great again indeed. /s

I actually don't give a rats ass what other countries think of the US. What I do care about is making sure US citizens are taken care of before we spend billions on other countries issues. We shouldn't be in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria etc.  If those people want to kill themselves then so be it. If we are allied with a particular country and it is being attacked then we can step in if and when they request assistance.  It's not about the US looking tough or doing things to impress people or make them feel good. It's about doing what's right for the US and letting other countries do what's right for themselves. 

Yet these days Europe is suffering from the results of exactly those wars and your so called ‘president’ dares to use this exact fact for his campaign. And today he plans a huge military parade to demonstrate his strength. What a hypocrite he is.

The sooner Trump is given the boot the better for the USA and the world. Trump is not the reason for the improvement in the American economy. It was Obama's economic policies that have improved the American economy and fixed the economic crisis that he inherited from President George W. Bush. Trump is trying to take credit for something he contributed nothing towards. Trump is just a bumbling clueless idiot.

But USA uses exactly the same tactic with everyone. Do it our way or nothing. We don't like government A, let's change the regime there under some false pretext. We don't like government B, let's apply economic sanctions that affect medicine, even though 500,000 children will suffer. American government official, Madeleine Albright says "acceptable collateral damage"❗ There are countless other examples of the US' hypocrisy. Look up the School of the Americas if you want to know why lots of South American people despise the US government for helping their governments oppress it's own citizens. So they have to leave their own countries because their oppressive governments were being propped up and funded by the US.

The only countries the US leaves alone are those who are as powerful as they are. Again from my original post, a bully mentality. They may talk about being against China, but China is the new economic king. Without China most countries economies would collapse overnight, such is our dependency on them. And it would take 5-10 years to rebuild the infrastructure we depend on them for.

So, now he wants to copy France military parade, why not copy their universal healthcare system instead?

Because America is not and has never been about equality for all of its citizens. It is about how to keep everyone unequal, so that they are all easier to manipulate. If everyone is at each other's throats, rather than being united, then you can pass laws to lower the standards of food, education, health etc, because everyone is just trying to keep their next door neighbour down and feed themselves. By keeping they fellow citizen down, they somehow feel like they are moving up.

It's basically the same mentality as the bourgeoisie had before the French Revolution. So a mentality from 300 years ago. Progress apparently and something that should be encouraged around the world.

Turbo capitalism is ruling the US (and basically the world today). Just hearing about the prices of Big Pharma's medicine is painful to my ears.
