Why would some german's view of the world show us where we are wrong?
We have heard world views from several germans - none of them very good.

What kind of report on German perceptions would include a section by Condoleezza Rice?
It is like a report on Syrians' perception of the world by Hillary Clinton.

Did anyone even open the report?
It has nothing to do directly with the US. Just a different perspective that's interesting. But hey being open minded to how other people see the world certainly isn't in vogue around here.
For instance immigration is their chief concern... but hey... don't learn anything outside your bubbles.

That's not the study you twit. It's literally a survey on a wide variety of topics asked to the German people. It has virtually ****ing nothing to so with the US. In fact since you're too damn lazy to open before commenting their largest concern in terms of foreign policy is... ding ding... immigration.
It was an interesting survey that had interesting results I thought you all might find interesting.
BUT no...
You're so ****ing polarized everything has to have an agenda.

I get your point. But I read about 150 things a day. I had an app that tracked it for me back in the day. That was before I had an iPad though. Probably more now, I was just bustin your bunions a little. I just have to be real choosy anymore. I’m a very busy guy right now every day. So I pick and choose with a little more of a filter

No worries. The results of a lot of polls were fairly interesting given Germany's role in Europe and the EU at this time.

You're calling someone lazy for not reading some 30+ page report?

All the charts are on page 30 or so. You can flip through it in a matter of minutes.

I was surprised that Germans voted Israel Germany’s most important partner in the Middle East.
And it was interesting to read that Germany voted France in and us out: "In comparison to 2016, France has rolled past the US as Germany’s most important and second most important partner." (I would not say this is shocking though. Donny Boy is leading us now after all.  )
And one more German view: Germans are as conflicted about the effect Brexit will have on the EU as the Brits are themselves.

The French thing honestly isn't that surprising IMO. Both are considered the bulwarks to any concept of Unified European defense and they are the two largest economies on the mainland.
I do agree though that there are several interesting things you can draw from how Germans see the world. Emphasis on a United Europe. They are happy with how they are managing the EU and Currency despite being the "rich uncle" of the Eurozone. They are interested in greater European unity and autonomy from the US...
Its a very interesting survey.
