Don't know where you've been but "respect" for the US has been in decline for sometime now, and for good and obvious reasons to many of us.
You mistake respect for being liked. A common flaw among liberals.
International respect largely comes from fear. They'll never love you because they don't want to love you. That's what you don't get. The only thing they respect is strength and power. Period.
That's the real world. The kumbaya you want doesn't exist.
