I thought this was a good article to choose as there are a lot of points that prove how little faith other countries have in America. This article concentrates on Russia’s views on American policies. The fact that it concentrates on Obama which the majority of people around the world had thought he would sort out a lot of problems, we know this as he was awarded the Noble Peace Prize shortly after being made President. So the fact that only 23% of Russians believed he would do the right thing in international affairs is alarming considering he filled the world with such hope and now people are starting to question whether or not he can live up to the hype.   

Also 15% of Russians said that America was playing a positive role in the world and only 12% of them say that America treats Russia fairly. These statistics show how much of an impact America has on the world and how they can sometimes come across as a scary nation if 75% of the largest country in the world feels as though they are being bullied by them.

Although saying this there were some positives as I don’t believe that everybody views the Americans as bad people or think that they don’t contribute towards helping. 47% of Russians say that Americans are co-operative which must mean that they are approachable, although it gives an insight into what other people think if less than half of Russians think this.
