It is interesting Donald Trump believes the USA is the most dangerous country in the world.

It should be when it comes to first world countries for the gun violence that occurs daily in the USA, however, it is still not the most dangerous.

USA occupied Afghanistan is ranked as the most dangerous country in the world.

1. Afghanistan: 0.71 — The country where violent crime is by far the most likely, according to Verisk Maplecroft, is Afghanistan. The country is still ravaged by the Islamic fundamentalist group the Taliban, while the heroin trade is also rampant, adding to violence.

Then comes Guatemala in Central America, not far from the USA border, sending children via railways to save their lives.

2. Guatemala: 0.72 — Like El Salvador and Honduras, Guatemala is a Central American nation plagued by the drug-trafficking industry. In 2015, Guatemala reported an average of 91 murders a week.

...Trump announced plans (click here) to halt the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program that has protected from deportation nearly 800,000 young men and women who entered the United States illegally as children.

Mexico’s deputy foreign minister, Carlos Sada, said Trump’s decision created “anxiety, anguish and fear” for the roughly 625,000 Mexican nationals protected under the program.

“They are exceptional. ... This is as emotional for the United States as for Mexico,” Sada said at a news conference immediately following the announcement to end the program....

Number three in the most dangerous line-up is also affiliated with the USA. Mexico.

3. Mexico: 1.17 — As the hub for trafficking drugs between South America and North America, Mexico has a significant problem with violence. "With the security forces facing budget cuts, a deterioration in the overall security environment is likely, leaving investors exposed to risks such as extortion, theft, and potentially the kidnapping of personnel," Verisk's Mexico analyst Grant Sunderland says.

The first three in the line up is more than interesting. Then consider that South Korea bravely went forward to bring at least temporary peace to the Korean Peninsula and the focus on the USA and it's reputation begins to look differently than the propaganda based in greed and wealth.

So, while the President states the USA is the most dangerous country in the world, he is grossly inaccurate, but, where the USA reaches to the Third World there is definitely danger propagated by instability and drug crime.

Afghanistan poppies, Guatemala and Mexico drug cartels which is a form of wealth to the third world. I think the most dangerous countries in the world fully understand what their plight is in relationship to the USA.
