Except for the half a century after WWII where the US shaped international law and democratic values, and heavily shaded modern international trade and its norms and values.

>shaped international law
Except they never consider themselves subject to that law, just use it to punish those they don't like.
> democratic values
When have they ever spread this? The amount of democratic governments we've overthrown vastly outnumbers the successful ones we've created. And that's ignoring things like Operation Gladio.
>heavily shaded modern international trade
Which has enriched them far more than anyone else.
Why the hell would the rest of the world care about these things that only matter inside the United States? The US has never made it their goal to spread these "core democratic values," has no real checks or balances internationally, and shows a complete disregard for international law.
