By big part of Europe, mostly eastern, from commies block.
The poorer places, filled with cheap murican movies about beautiful Miami beaches, NewYork skyscrappers and overall prosperity. Even in 1960's, everyone had a tv and phone in murica, knew by stories, while in many regions of eastern Europe, up to early 90's or even alter, getting a phone at home was a luxury.
Murica was so rich and powerful, they could easily conquer the world by military or economical (back the day, something chinese stood for poor quality; we had german cars, food from Italy, and hi-tech from murica or Japan).
The promises of freedom and awesome possibilities. Well, whole country is made of immigrants.
Sadly, even now, many still talk super good about murica, like even Venezuelan kidnaping was a good thing, well, maybe, but not in such vulgar way. Ahhh, and remember, that most saw murica as heroes for freedom like from Star Wars, literally. They did beat the reds in the end, don't they?
I agree that the eastern block looked at America as a magical place with a unique culture. Did people see America as the good guys? What about when America invaded Iraq? What about the Vietnam war? Were these things that even mattered?
Lovely protectors of freedom.
Gladly some grew up from that, and now , looking and news of Venezuela o other Hormuz feels bad - even if some bads happens at these places, such murican invasions are totally bad ways.
Sadly, some still see murica as heroes, and totally support more invasions for the glory of an eagle.
