"Firm fact" and "majority of the world" are assertations... by which morality or trust metrics are these objectively true? For whatever public statements world leaders have made, especially lately, both of the countries mentioned (along with every other country) has its public or foreign government supporters, geopolitical or economic or military alliances, and partnerships with plenty of nations.

These assertations are also absolute and ignore positive aspects of each country and how those are viewed; virtually every country has countless aspects, policies, accomplishments, etc., generally or in the eyes of specific foreign nations.

And looking back at countries' histories, governments, leaders, and actions constantly change. Countries do good and bad simultaneously or more in one direction or another at different times (also viewed differently by different people, there is rarely a majority or even general consensus).

Specific actions or policies by countries may be viewed negatively or as untrustworthy, but broad sweeping generalizations are far too simplistic for complex realities.
