US citizens should really be embarrassed about the state that their country is in. So many things are so pathetic from other western countries' perspective.

@mpopp75 meh. in my experience there is so little understanding of the US from other Western countries that, well, often enough they don't know enough to even judge accurately.
Yeah the countries in a bad state, hell the world is in a bad state, but not because of what outsiders think based on what they think they know.
Just for example, I listen to BBC World Service get things wrong about the US and the US government pretty regularly.
@volkris The USA are probably a great country if you are a billionaire.
For ordinary people ... not so much.
