Aren't Americans concerned by the loss of trust? (No visible reaction from the public?)

[TT2025]

As the title implies, I'm not quite sure if US citizens are concerned how the perception of their country is changing.

Here in the eastern flank of the EU, the society was always somewhat polarized in its views on US, but last few months the 'trans-atlantic' camp was hit like never before. And lessons learned will be hard to unlearn. 

Actually my views were shaken considerably. Spending my formative years oblivious of US involvement in affairs in Chile (etc.) and watching StarTrek and MacGyver I was buying all the 'do a good thing' and 'stand on the right side of history' stuff. After a heard from the US that it was Ukraine who started the war with Russia (presumably kidnapping Russian army and invading itself by it), followed by outright extortion by US top officials and half-aligning with Russia. (Odd silence after attack on civilian targets, lately at Sumy tells volumes.) I just can't fend off the thought that the 'do good' agenda was just a bate.

US is now projecting a Goodfellas version of itself around the globe and US citizens seem to be content. Only real pushback was due to self-inflicted stock market near crash.

So is it all just about the money? (Sincerely confused here.)

Every one wants an unassailable savior. The US is amazing and corrupt. Please people stop looking to others to be better than you are. Either you are your savior, or God is. The US is complex and has wonderful and fearful qualities.
