Intuition Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Is this supposed to be shocking? Anyone could tell you this. Also, Pakistan is going to be thrilled that they are included as "Middle East" in the first tweet . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horizon Flame Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 And we don't trust them either. They're putting cameras in all locations now to catch women not covering their faces. Their human rights abuses are barbaric. Let's not even get into the punishment inflicted if you're found out to be gay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternal220 Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 The State of Southeast Asia 2021 survey indicates that Southeast Asians’ trust in China continues to trend downward, in contrast to the US’ improved trust ratings. https://www.iseas.edu.sg/articles-commentaries/iseas-perspective/iseas-perspective-2021-15-southeast-asians-declining-trust-in-china-by-hoang-thi-ha/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onapearl Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Well duh. We illegally invaded Iraq for completely bs reasons and we continue to artificially prop up Israel's military capacity so they can continue to steal more land beyond what was already given to them. I wouldn't blame them for hating us, let alone having a reasonable amount of distrust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loveisdead9582 Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Surprise surprise, another shallow attempt to drag the US. It’s no surprise that nations with a Muslim majority (most of which do not have nearly as many equality/human rights [and yes, I get that I’m saying this as lgbtq+ individuals are being attacked through drag/trans bans are being introduced]) have very different societal standards in place. The USA is certainly not perfect and has many issues but in this case, it’s pretty obvious that those countries with radically different views on what is societally acceptable wouldn’t generally trust or look kindly upon other countries who’s views don’t align with their own. People distrusting those different from themselves is hardly a new or unheard of concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetea Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 didn't the U.S kill a lot of people in the middle east and make the situation there worse? i don't blame them tbh, the US interferes too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Middle Eastern countries don’t trust us because we invade, pillage, and destabilize them, and then leave them vulnerable to extremist cells that seek revenge for what we’ve done.

A.R.L Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 The problem with Middle Eastern countries is first and foremost the dictatorial leaders and the way religion directly influences the minds of the majority. The only exceptions where I think America has done more bad than good are in the case of Iraq and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
