Want to know why the rest of the world is beginning to really hate Americans?

It's reports like this in the foreign press:

Somalis were shackled for nearly 48 hours on failed US deportation flight

More than 90 Somali men and women were held shackled on an airplane for nearly 48 hours – and some were forced to urinate where they sat – during a failed attempt to deport them from the US, according to a lawsuit filed late on Monday.

Seven passengers representing the 92 people onboard alleged they suffered “inhumane conditions and egregious abuse” on the 7 December flight, which was due to land in Mogadishu, Somalia, but only reached Dakar, Senegal, where it was held for 23 hours before returning to the US.

“When the plane’s toilets overfilled with human waste, some of the detainees were left to urinate into bottles or on themselves,” the lawsuit says. “Ice [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] agents wrapped some who protested, or just stood up to ask a question, in full-body restraints. Ice agents kicked, struck, or dragged detainees down the aisle of the plane, and subjected some to verbal abuse and threats.”

Ice does not comment on pending litigation but denied allegations of mistreatment in earlier statements about the flight. The agency said the flight was turned around after a layover in Dakar because the relief crew was unable to get sufficient rest.

1. the rest of the world has gone from loving us and Obama to hating us due to trump

[Irish_Dem]

3. They were not thrilled with Bush/Cheney either. The world must hate us too

because we are fickle, changeable, unpredictable.
We go from the sublime to the ridiculous at the drop of a hat.

[Bradshaw3]

2. They have been hating us for some time: coups, civilians bombed, drones strikes, etc.

It's a wonder there aren't more terrorist attacks from all the damage we've done in the rest of the world.

4. trump has uleashed the monster that

the world has been trying to keep under control since the end of WWII .... Bush unleashed it in Iraq, Obama stopped it for 8 years and now trump has released it on Americans and the whole world once again ... the inhumane human

5. Look at these losers trying to do ANYTHING

"The agency said the flight was turned around after a layover in Dakar because the relief crew was unable to get sufficient rest."

Way to plan ahead, ICE.

Disgusting, foul, vile, inhuman, and just the dumbest motherfuckers one could imagine.

10. So, who flew them back?

[robbob]

11. Good question: reminds me of that Marx Brothers bit

Where they are impersonating some aviators who flew non stop across the ocean and have to make a speach: “First attempt we got half way across, then ran out of fuel and had to turn back. Second time we made it 3/4 of the way, then ran out of fuel and had to turn back. Third time, we were almost across, we could see the landing strip, then we ran out of fuel and had to turn back...”.

Etc. Etc.

6. Well, I hate us, too.

We are now officially a festering stink-hole.

[Garrett78]

7. Much of the world has despised the US government for a long, long time.

Imperialism and supporting brutal dictators doesn't go over well with most.

[MythosMaster]

8. yes the difference is now

we are ticking off the EU.

third world countries the conservative corporate colossus can exploit were A Ok...

[icymist]

9. Exactly! We already know the areas where we are hated.

Nothing like pissing off the rest of the world!
