I think the USA had a ton of political goodwill after WWII that it has since then burned for money and now has very little left. The USA does have a lot of money and weapons, so people fear it politically, but it no longer commands much respect.

Maybe so, but it didn't do anything to stop the Berlin Blockade or the invasion of South Korea.
