Back to work 'deep state', neocons, and Clinton apologists, because America is not buying the narrative that Russia is their greatest enemy.

Ignore the half-assed attempt at journalism by Mr. Durden, and proceed to the original poll results. China is regarded by 45% of respondents as an enemy or unfriendly power. Russia, on the other hand, is regarded in this light by 55% of the respondents. At the same time, certain answers speak to a blinding lack of global awareness by the these randomly selected Americans; Thus, 30% of persons asked indicated that Liberia was an enemy or unfriendly power. The results really don't say much beyond the average American needing to know more about the world beyond our borders.
