I just finished "Lone Survivor" for the second time and there was something that struck me as more painful the second time around. The villagers who helped our soldier escape got doubly screwed with Biden's disastrous withdrawal. Many of these brave people sacrificed themselves and risked their families to help Americans and Biden screwed them.

You want to talk about the really funny one? As of the last questionnaire done on the topic, Vietnam has the highest opinion of any nation in the world (with a 84% positive view. They also loved Trump, go figure). Higher than Israel (81%), The Philippines (78%), S. Korea (75%), and Poland (73%).
That said, I would not be against reorienting our foreign policy based on these stats. Cut Germany lose in favor of the East/Central Europeans (Pretty much every single nation in that area except Belarus and Russia like us), move toward Asia (most Asian nations have a positive view of us), and then find the handful of African nations that like us (Nigeria, Ghana, Botswana, Tanzania) and double down on them. Everyone else can suck fat 'nards. Unless they are on the Americas. Then Monroe demands we work toward our interest.
I agree. Our friends now are mostly in Eastern Europe & Asia. For now at least, though, the UK helps us a lot, though I don't know how much longer that will last. Germany and France are just out for themselves and won't contribute anything meaningful.
