--- My relatives in Germany (Baden-Wurtemburg -- go Schwabenland!) don't have this opinion. They think Germany is an occupied country and the US should move its troops out. My grandfather despised the US (but then he spent several years in a POW camp in Arkansas, which might have something to do with it).
It is however certainly how Russians tend to view the US, because what they know of it they get from Hollywood films where everybody has a giant house and three cars.
