In 2013 a global survey conducted by the Worldwide Independent Network and Gallup asked 60 nations “Which country do you think is the greatest threat to peace in the world today?”
The US topped the list with 24 percent. Pakistan came second with 8 percent and China with 6 percent. Afghanistan, Iran, Israel and North Korea were joint fourth with 5 percent.
The threat from the US was voted the highest in the Middle East and North Africa and those areas affected by American military intervention. 13% Americans thought their country as a threat.
Peru, Brazil and Argentina voted the US as the most dangerous country.
@JohnJonesCardiff,
You're not just an alter-ego for JTT, are you?
When people see Americans, they go, "Woo-woo," and hide in the closet.
@JohnJonesCardiff,
Wouldn't the most powerful country be the most potentially dangerous by default?
If North Korea had the military might of the US and the US had that of North Korea, then which country do you think most people would consider the most dangerous.

Yes, its a shame that. We can ignore the second place position stuff, its only the first place position that carries the can.
@edgarblythe,
Honduras ranked as highest per capita murder rate in the world last year. It has everything to do with the movement of drug cartels. If you notice it went something like this through the decades(as far as the movement of cartels): Colombia--Mexico--Honduras. Once there is opposition to their drug regimes these dregs of the underworld move to a more vulnerable place wrecking a country in the process.
