Sorry to burst your bubble, but the USA is not GOD, and we are not omnipotent. We don't have control over everything that happens in the world, we just happen to be the biggest target.

Funny how when you are the most powerful and prosperous country in the world you do also automatically become the biggest target, because it's human nature for all of these failed societies to blame all of their problems on us, because they, like you, think we are God and create all of the problems of the world

Well we aren't God, we don't have magic powers, we don't control everything that happens in all of these ****ty little countries.

Blame God, not US.

it's so fecking pathetic how these ****ed up little countries think we owe them anything. That the world thinks we owe them anything. hey, here's a clue, stop being terrorist assholes and we'll all go home, ever think of that? fecking idiots. You don't want drone strikes anymore? well then take care of the terrorists in your own fecking countries, and guess what, there will be no more drone strikes.

I don't believe in God.

Since the end of World War II, here is a list of just some of the nations the USA has been stationed in, in a military capacity:

West Germany
Austria
Japan
Philippines
China
South Korea
Italy
Greece
Israel
Taiwan
Vietnam
Egypt
Lebanon
Thailand
Laos
Dominican Republic
Cambodia
Grenada
Honduras
Panama
Colombia
Bolivia
Peru
Iran
Iraq
Kuwait
Afghanistan

My point is that the USA has been involved in a lot of countries' political affairs in a military capacity and that regardless of the reasons why they were in the country (civil war, humanitarian, border conflict...) they have made enemies around the world and people don't forget that. A war can shape an entire generation. The arrogant attitudes you quite impressively displayed about "failed societies" and "****ty little countries" are exactly why so many people around the world despise the United States of America. It's not because they think America is God. It's because they think America is to blame for all of their problems; whether rightly or wrongly, they refer back to the USA meddling in their affairs as the reason why. Of course they do! If a foreign army stomps into your territory and leaves it in a worse condition than it was when they arrived, you're going to hate that foreign army. The USA has been involved in so many of the world's conflicts in the years since World War II.

The USA strikes deals with smaller nations for its own interests - it sells arms to Taiwan in order to help protect Taiwan from China? No, it sells arms to Taiwan so that it has an ally on China's turf in order to have a global presence. Taiwan needs the USA for security and the USA needs Taiwan to keep its rivals in check. The USA builds missile silos in eastern Europe in order to keep Russia in check. The USA supports South Korea in order to keep North Korea in check.

Russia sells arms to Vietnam in order to keep China and the USA in check. It's a real life game of Risk, and the countries who get played by the big countries will always feel resentment towards those countries for using them. Simple as.
