Yeah I suspect this person is immersed in western news and just hears all about “the bad guys”, but I wonder what the USA looks like to someone in those places.

I appreciate your sharing of links. I didn’t have the energy to dig up a bunch of data, but the note about military expenditures supports the point nicely.

At least in Poland, we appreciate USA’s involvement (and spending) in our region greatly. Ukraine also doesn’t mind, obviously.

Right, the above comment neglects to differentiate whether the exports are to countries that use it in a completely justifiable manner.

As shown in my other answer, neither have you shown that the points matters. The scale of the US weapons program and military which outsizes any other countries definitely still supports the main point made.

That some parts of the world appreciate the US activity has no bearing on criticism from parts of the world that do not appreciate it, as I'm sure you'd agree.
