The US used to see itself as a policeman. It is now kinda going gangster.

You can't police a multipolar world - you can when you're the sole superpower in a unipolar word where "policing" can be a euphemism.

I think there is now a general or at least generational attitude shift about world policeman type stuff vs smash, grab and bully in America.

Even in the past, US was more of a gangster supporting its gang rather than a fair hearted policeman. Its support to Pakistan during Bangladesh (East Pakistan) genocide is well known.
