I was referring to past actions of the US that proved to be unjustified and disastrous: WMDs in Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, etc.. This is related to the normalization of credibility based on information ubiquity, but I think it's mainly US's actions speaking for themselves. After the WWII us has become a policing force that more or less , with the exception of the Vietnam war, wasn't as active in foreign wars as they've been recently. The Vietnam war fuckup was largely forgotten or attributed to a different America that had changed. But the recent wars were also pointless and proved otherwise. Once again, US has the ability to change, but it will take a lot of effort to do so and will have to start leading by example.
