Is the US respected?

No. The United States (US) government (USG) is feared! And that is exacted what it wants to be. The USG wants to be a bully.

Most US citizens are oblivious that their government is regarded by the world as the biggest threat to world peace by 3 times the second runner up!

That is consistent with what Major General Smedley Butler wrote in his book in the 1930’s, “War is a Racket”.

And that is consistent with the USG’s military invasion of Puerto Rico in 1898 to make her its colony. The USG today is in violation of the United Nations’ (UN) Charter that prohibits colonialism. The USG today is in violation of 39 UN resolutions asking it to immediately return Puerto Rico’s sovereignty to the Puerto Ricans. http://webtv.un.org/watch/5th-meeting-committee-of-24-special-committee-on-decolonization/6051725003001/  

The USG is in clear contradiction of all of the ideals that it purports to represent. But US citizens must investigate their own history to be aware of that. Then, of course, they will need to decide, is that the nation they want?

If the US were a nation of, by and for the people, the US would have never been the epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic. The USG only represents 1% of its citizens. That was exactly General Butler point!

If US citizens want their country to be respected, it is not about making America great, it is about making her honorable!

Make the US honorable!
