Nihilism is always the hope of the powerless; in this case it is empty. Worst case scenario negotiations fail, and war happens by summer. Lots of people will die but the US will be lauded, not reviled.
The only hope you have for the world turning its back on the US is the internal issues the US has, which weaken it greatly. Ironically, the international tension actually holds the US together by allowing its people to group against criticism.

you can not de-stabilize them more...they are already at rock bottom...millions of them starved to death and nothing happened...they just hated the west even more...lets face it: it was the west that starved them to death with sanctions...when my country was under sanctions 0 people blamed milosevic and 100% of the population blamed the west...
you simply will not leave them alone but you expect them to not launch? what would you do if some asshole would simply not leave you alone but you have a gun in your hand?
I hope I am wrong...
