Needless to say, not everyone is particularly enamored with US foreign policy under the Obama administration.
Early attempts at a Russian “reset” have culminated in a “reset” of the Cold War, Yemen has gone from “model of success” to “failed state” in the space of nine months, and Syria has been transformed into what UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon recently called “the worst circle of hell” after a former CIA “strategic asset” lost track of its Assad usurpation directive, went rogue, and embarked on bloody campaign to establish a medieval Islamic caliphate.
Fortunately for the President, there are still some sympathetic countries out there (like France), but as you can see from the following map, the administration doesn’t fare very well in terms of the public's perception of Obama's propensity to "do the right thing regarding world affairs" in pivotal countries such as Israel, Pakistan, Ukraine, China, Russia, and .. America.
