With some obvious reservations, yes. I do think they have that reputation on the international stage. They didn't start the Iraq war. They haven't invaded Afghanistan. They didn't fund the razing of Gaza. They don't have a sectarian alignment

The US made *many* conscious decisions to cede that ground. I'd argue those decisions were bad ones. No power is right by nature. We can only be right by track record, and we've built an evil track record. We have no one to blame but ourselves
