Here in the United States, we tend to think that the rest of the world generally does not like us too much. We always hear how the United States is the "Big Bully of the world". But through the internet, i have found out that there are certain "bullies" in different regions of the world. For example Russia seems to be the domineering power in East Europe and northern central Asia. It seems in East Asia the country of Japan is disliked by many people in neighboring countries, and Saudi Arabia is the "rich kids of the block" who mistread immigrants coming to work. Why is this?
Oceania - I don't really think there is one. Australia is certainly the main player, but I don't think it really forces issues. Some of the smaller Pacific nations may have a different view though.
I don't think there is a bully in (Western/Central) Europe right now. The only nation constantly violating our airspace are the Americans flying from Ramstein or Spangdahlem to somewhere in Italy...
Russia is probably doing the same with some countries in Eastern Europe...
The bully of the EU is not (or not entirely) Germany, it's also France, which is also the bully of its former colonies in West and Central Africa (due to the weakness of the local states and societies there).
Geeez I'm sure that all the enamored France lovers on this forum will come out of the woods now, in defence of a country they idealize so much that it confines to the grotesque!

You see i did not know that.
What about other former colonizers, such as Portugal with Portuguese Africa or England? By the way does England have any influence on India anymore?
image being a factor when it comes to bullying in my part of the world we do not need bullies we are too disorganized to let 3rd parties do such a thing we manage it inhouse most of the time which can be said for any place that has or had riots but I digress
middle east
iran has well more so basic principles apply to be frank less is more does not apply unless you have found free and abundant energy that is
Germany is the bully, and Finland/Austria/Netherlands/Luxembourg are his nerdy smaller friends looking for protection from the big guy. When Germany approaches Greece regarding money matters, those four countries will stand behind it snickering and laughing as big Germany beats the crap out of Greece.
