Living Under An American Hostile Regime

Google AI Overview

Several interpretations of the term "Living Under An American Hostile Regime" emerge from the search results, reflecting various perspectives and contexts:

1. Experiencing US immigration and border enforcement policies
Some sources, particularly those focused on international students and immigrants, describe the US immigration system and border enforcement measures as creating a hostile environment.
According to Scholars at Risk, increased detentions, denials of entry, and deportations under certain executive orders have raised concerns about protecting individuals from increasing incidents of detention and deportation.

2. Citizens of countries with strained relations with the US
In some countries, majorities of people perceive the US as a threat, rather than an ally.

This sentiment can be particularly strong in some Muslim-majority nations and countries in the Middle East.

The US image in the Middle East has been described as "dismal" for some time, according to the Pew Research Center.

Public opinion surveys indicate that people in several countries, including Canada and Mexico, view the US as their top threat.

US economic influence is also seen as having a negative impact on the economies of many countries, according to a Pew Research Center report.

Some sources suggest that the US has employed military force, sanctions, and covert actions against countries it deems as "rogue states", like Cuba, Iran, and North Korea, with mixed results.

3. The impact of US foreign policy and domestic policies abroad
US foreign policy decisions, such as military interventions and sanctions, can have a significant impact on the lives of ordinary citizens in other countries.

Economic sanctions, for example, have been linked to increased poverty, decreased access to essential goods like food and medicine, and potentially hindering progress towards sustainable development goals in targeted countries, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

One study suggests that US sanctions led to a 3.8 percentage point larger poverty gap in sanctioned countries compared to a control group.
Such policies may lead to a deterioration of public health, shortages of clean water and medicines, and potential increases in infant mortality.
Some sources also highlight that target leaders may exploit sanctions to consolidate power and increase political repression.

It's important to consider that various perspectives exist regarding the role of the United States in the world and the effects of its policies.
