soared to a new high. Both countries hold extremely negative views of each other. Iranian

leaders are even known to chant “Death to America” in their public addresses. However,

some countries have even less favorable views of the US. So which countries hate America the most?

Well according to a recent Pew Poll surveying 40 countries throughout the world, the Middle

East is the most critical region of the US and its actions. Since 2001, the United States

has fought a “War on Terror” throughout nations like Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria.

This has resulted in countless casualties, severely damaging the United States’ popularity in the area.

This is on top of America’s historic support of Israel amid the Israel-Palestine conflict.

Jordan, which borders most of these war-torn countries, hates the US more than

any other nation surveyed. 83% of those polled held unfavorable views of the US. Surrounding areas

like the Palestinian territories, Lebanon and Turkey also held similar negative views.

The country with the second most unfavorable view of the US is Russia. After Russia’s

annexation of Crimea in 2014, the US led a series of sanctions against Russia.

Today, Russia is in the midst of a recession, which some blame on US and EU sanctions.

Russia also controls its media, which weighs heavily on public opinion, and regularly demonizes

the US. Just a few years ago, Russian approval ratings of the US stood at 51%. Today this

has nosedived to 15%. Russia’s economic dip has also affected US perceptions in countries

with strong business-ties to Russia, like Argentina and Venezuela.

Also a few nations in Asia, like Pakistan and Malaysia, have significant negative views

of the US. This is mostly due to their national Muslim majorities, which generally sympathize

with other Middle Eastern Muslim communities. Pakistan also shares a border with Afghanistan,

where part of the US War on Terror is being fought. For this reason, Pakistan has

disapproval towards the United States, at 62%.

Most countries with anti-US views have been opposed to the spread of Western dominance.

Anti-American sentiments have become so deeply-entrenched in some places that the belief has become

symbolic of something larger. Dissatisfaction with the way current global politics are skewed

against certain territories have caused many to turn to more militant organizations in

order to initiate change.
