Geopolitical skill

America was never at any point in history "godly" at foreign policy.

Merely fortunate.

>>76566183
It's all relative. Who would you consider at the top then?

>>76566314
UK used to be on top, but then again, they were lucky to be an island.

Nowadays? Israel without a doubt.

no

This. We only got decent after ww2 and even then had no tact like the soviets. Later with bush2 and trump we're back to making asses of ourselves and obliterating our soft power.

Most everyone has a favourable opinion of us so that counts for something. Were in the g7 and g20 but constantly get cucked out of a UN security council although im not sure why most PMs even want it.

>side with alqaeda and shelter Bin Laden
>side with Libya on Lockerbee
>side with Somalia and other countries after the bombings against US
>declare hatred and animosity for Americans, chant against them, invite sanctions
>celebrate 9/11
>side against Western Alliance and Israel for the foreseeable future

Recently
>side with Hezbollah, Hamas and Iran
>Iran faces financial trouble so they side with the Sunni's instead
>Obama reaches Iran nuclear deal and their financial situation improves
>side with Qatar and now need to abandon them in favour of the UAE and the KSA

And you do not consider Israel lucky?

Having all your neighbors hate you isn't great at foreign policy. They are good at fighting Arabs and intelligence.

We have Godly geography, which allows us to have the most influential geopolitics

not good geopolitical skill
we are like the worst at that, just survived because we border two oceans and two countries we can easily devastate
and easy access to BOTH the asian and european markets(and south america/africa, but they arnt major), so if one goes shit we just trade with the other more

>>76566160
America doesn't have foreign policy. They enforce their will and we all accept. There isn't room for negotiation.

UK has great foreign policy because we're smart and tricky.

>>76566507
srsly?

I will not be surprised it's the Arabs' turn to kill the Jews

dicks

the strongest are always the most "fortunate".

>and south america/africa, but they arnt major
Africa, not yet.
Nigeria is quickly becoming Africa's regional power, and we have easy access to them.

Sorry to inform you my Clapistani friend but toppling third world shitholes and helping corporations corrupt foreign nations isn't good foreign policy. In fact the blow back has been coming home to roost in a way the US government hasn't been able to cover up, since 9/11.

>>76566160
My country is pretty good at being perceived as friendly and harmless. Portugal does some military and humanitarian ops, but it's not like any country hinges on our cooperation.

>>76568117
Nigeria is a failed oil state neckdeep in dutch disease, recession, and islamic terrorism

Not to mention their president is a practical dictator and half-dead.

Well... we have no enemies. Almost never had.
But most countries are fucking us in the ass, in terms of economical treaties.

>>76568429
You guys can't even afford a foreign policy.

>>76568429
>fucking us in the ass
because you have big bunda
very tempting
you seduce the world!!!

>>76568226
>implying the government gives a shit about any of that
Lel, as long as (((big corp))) can make a nice profit, then it's all good.
I mean, we're "friends" for Saudi Arabia.

Well we managed to not self destruct plus pic related. Say what you want about the US, but I doubt few others could have convinced so many countries to allow military bases on their soil.

Godly in israels interest

No. Israel called us a "diplomatic dwarf" and what did our government answered? Nothing, they kept quiet like bitches. Our president called the russians "soviets" many times and has mistaken the king of Norway for the king of Sweden. A few months ago a venezuelan politician said Brazil was a shame to the international community and once again, our government didn't replied.

My country is slowly but surely getting chopped and handed out to neighbors.
2117, Bogotá will be an standalone city state.

I will think of it this way from now on

>>76566160

You disgust me.

>Israel called us a "diplomatic dawrf"
You kinda are though. No reason a country of your size shouldn't be much more involved in international affairs.
