But whenever someone threatens europe's peace (Milosevic in Bosnia and Kosovo for example)and security they come running. I guarantee when Putin decides that he wants more influence over europe they'll be singing our praises again. But this time I say we tell them to stuff it.

Did anybody even read the poll. 36% of those in the poll believed the US to be this threat to stability in Europe. Thats means 64% disagrees. Last I checked, 36% was a minority, and 64% is a majority, right? Or did I miss that memo.
Move Along. These aren't the droids your looking for.
You have voted WolfofWar for the Way Above Top Secret award. You have two more votes this month

Obviously you've missed the point completely wity your "spin". Nowhere in the article does it say "majority". It says "US still main threat to stability in European eyes". Which seems to be true.
36% voted U.S.
30% voted Iran
18% voted China
which leaves 16% voting "others"
So your spin of "64%" and "majority" is irrelevant in regards to the U.S. being seen as the main threat.

I don't like it anymore than you do, but if the U.S. gets more votes than any other country then yes, in their eyes, we are seen as the "main" threat.

So because it, by itself, had a marginal difference of votes compared to all the other countries, that makes it the main threat? Nah.

Like I said, this polls a tactic to make it look like the overwhelming majority of people believe that the US is a threat to Europe.
Originally posted by WolfofWar
People are ignorant to the fact that the overwhelming majority of people are actually more concerned about the combined dangers of all the other countries.

64% is a strong number.

But some people are just ignorant to what the statistics really mean, I suppose. Its a clever spin, but most people, I hope, see through it.
