ft.com — A survey carried out in June by Harris Research to be published Monday shows that 32% of respondents in five European countries regard the US as a bigger threat than any other state, including Iran and North Korea combined. Even in the U.S. itself, 35% of Americans 16- to 24-years-old identify America as the chief danger to stability.

That's no what I'm saying, you said "The only reason europe is what it is today was because our grandfathers shot nazis", I'm stated, I thought clearly enough for most, that although US involvement was extremely useful it was not decisive in the overall outcome, i.e. it helped to save lives but would not have affected the fact that German lost the war - that was Russia's involvement.

I would have to agree that the number who regard the US as a threat would be much higher, Though for the US's allies to regard it as a major threat, is a clear sign that the US are doing something incredibly wrong. It is not the American people that get us worried it is who you pick you lead you. Since 2000 the US's reputation has slipped inexorably in Europe.

the headline is not entirely accurate : it's 32% who see the US as the LARGEST threat..that's why it may appear as if only 32% see the US a threat.but even Europe has it's brainwashed fools : North Korea a threat to GLOBAL security ?harharhar, they are mostly a threat to themselves ..

You make it sound like we have to choose between being a puppet of America and its current foreign policy or being a target by islamic extremists.I choose neither!I'm glad my fellow Europeans raise their voices when they see something that is not right! That's a privilege the Americans don't have because only hand picked journalists are allowed to get anywhere near their president. Keep fighting for what you believe in but don't let hatred take over as most Americans, like us wish peace upon the world

Generation Y is going to have it harder and Generation X complains about them, but gen y has a stronger work ethic, and yea gen x did get god jobs right out of college. Now gen x is lashing out at gen y. Point being said. Generation Y(todays youth) will pretty much just fall in line. Which is why I'm moving to Europe soon.

I live in Europe and I have never met a single creationist or flat earther in my life. The 10% you would find who don't say that the U.S. is not a threat to world peace are most probably old people who have a different picture of the U.S. because of WW2.
