Probably because 90% of the respondents would have voted for the US.
As is, it's a pretty ridiculous poll (Luxemborg???). Pretty much NO country is currently a "war-mongering Menace to the world", because no country is currently menacing the world. If it had been "war mongering menace to its neighbors", or "country most likely to initiate World War III", then we'd have a list.
The whole point of the poll was for people to pick Israel.
It's the first option, clearly we know what the intended direction of this thread was.
Tibet is debatable and all Chinese regardless of whether they are pro-Western democrats or anti-Western autocrats agree that Tibet is part of China. Even if China became liberal and democratic with free elections, I absolutely guarantee you that they will not let go of Tibet. Republic of China (Taiwan) considers Tibet to be a part of China.
If you are wondering why the Chinese are so adamant about Tibet it is because it has the highest plateau in the world and thus protects China from an invasion from the Indian subcontinent. Tibet also has most of the watersheds for India's biggest rivers and also has all the watersheds for a significant portion of China's rivers. Also, notice that there is not one country in the world that recognizes Tibet as being occupied and even the Dalai Lama just wants more autonomy rather than independence. The West has to give a pretty good reason why China should relinquish such a strategic territory and would also have to make significant concessions for China to grant them independence. The Chinese does not trust the West especially after NATO expanded into former Soviet satellites even when the West promised it would not do so. Short of a massive war (which the West would never fight on behalf of Tibet), I don't see the Chinese ever giving up Tibet.
The west doesn't have to explain anything. Those lefties who daily criticize US foreign policies, while being extremely forgiving and "understanding" towards countries like China or Russia should. One probable reason is that they have no idea (and don't really care) about life in China or Russia. The surprised reaction to the latest arrests of singers in Russia proves the point.
As for China, only US power can keep them in check and from totally dominating their neighbors.
There is a little place called Tibet...
The Chinese aren't pushing further only because they fear the consequences. Without the US, Taiwan would had been history. Same with Russia and their little neighbors.
I don't know about that, I don't think the US would go to war with China over Taiwan. It's possible that China isn't willing to make that gamble, but my guess is that China knows it can have Taiwan any time it wishes, and Taiwan knows it too.

And if I placed Israel in the middle of the countries then you would accuse me of attempting to "hide" Israel within the other countries to make the poll appear non-biased. And if I put it at the end, you would accuse me of placing a bunch of countries that no one would pick before it so they had to pick Israel. It's not my fault most people are picking Israel. Contrary to what you might think, I didn't rig the poll.

If you didn't rig the poll why isn't the Wholesome USA, Friendly UK and Cuddly France in it instead of Evil Luxumbourg, Scarey Venezuela and Dastardly Cuba?

The US has embargos against those countries, and accused Venezuela in assisting Iran in "terrorism" and other mischief. So you think I rigged the poll because I didn't replace these countries with France? Give it up.
