The West's sympathy for USA probably reached a peak from 1945 to 2001. Nine Eleven - September 11, 2001 the Bin Laden attack at the World Trade Centre - was another peak for world sympathy for the USA.
The US invaded Afghanistan to search for Bin Laden and the high sympathy started to top out. The down trend started 2003 by invasion of Iraq. This country was ruled by a Sunni Muslim, Saddam Hussein. He ordered his best troops to take their weapons and together with the best military advisers with big war experience to hide or leave for north of the country close to Syria. This war machine started to plan to take back their territory as soon as the US troops had left the country. The plan took more than 10 years before the World saw the the first signs of action and named the movement ISIS or IS. Today the Sunnis have taken back more than half of Iraq. The Shia Muslims who took over after Saddam were taken by surprise and so was the US. Meanwhile the US had moved the main part of its fleet from the Atlantic to the Pacific because now it was time to take care of the interests in Asia. Obama lost his majority in the congress and suddenly there was no real leader in the US. A lame duck President who made Russia an enemy with help of a divided Europe on sanctions.
So the White House now has a war in Syria and Iraq, a Russia who has a president with 85 percent backing of his people and Asia which need military help. Too much for a lame duck president.
Saddam said before the US invasion that he will get a 20 million soldiers to get Israel out of the Middle East. The same target does Iran have and Syria. Israel is surrounded by Muslims and has turned to the congress instead of the president to bomb Iran.
My view now is that when IS is ready the Muslims will attack Israel.
