America’s image is mostly positive among the Asian nations polled. Particularly large majorities see the U.S. favorably in the Philippines (92%), South Korea (84%) and Vietnam (77%).

It’s from 2015 but more recent polls have found similar data IIRC

79% of people polled in Vietnam chose the US in the “Preferred alignment choice in U.S.-China rivalry” which is a different metric obviously but still points towards the same idea

Edit: According to Luna Oi, Pew Research Center is a neoliberal think tank that cannot be trusted on anything about Vietnam

    I still maintain that most people accept that things are different today

    Notably, things aren’t different, except for Germany going back to committing atrocities outside of Europe.

    as do the Vietnamese against America, and perhaps against Russia who used them for the proxy war

    This is hilarious. The USSR literally helped Vietnam (and many other countries) in their war for liberation against you. By your logic, every struggle against your colonialism is a ‘proxy war’.

    Global views towards Russia have shifted dramatically within two short years

    Also notably not because westerners care about invasions.

    Also, whose views outside of the European genocidal powers changed on the matter?

      Against me? I think you’re assuming incorrectly.

        Against you, plural. Given that you are trying to whitewash the gang of colonial metropoles that is NATO, you, singular, should be included.

        Or do you need to be reminded of your actions in Asia, Africa, and the Americas?

            It’s amazing how much people like you just up and deny the last few centuries worth of history of colonialism and slavery. I wonder if you know how states like Pissrael and the US came about, or what ‘Lebensraum’ was, or who owned India in the early 20th century, etc., or if you are just playing dumb?
