We do call them out, don't we? The rest of the world was very clear that we found the US evidence and reasoning for invading Iraq in 2003 to be flimsy. Many European countries refuse to expatriate criminals to the US because of constant human rights violations in US prisons. Every other country has made it clear that they disagree with the US abandoning the latest Climate agreement. I'd say there's been official protests and demonstrations both inside and outside the US on a whole range of topics during the entire time it has been a superpower.
The only ones who can actually change the US is the American people, however. It is extremely unlikely that the rest of the world will be able to band together to put sanctions on the US, and there's no reason that the US economy and military might will shrink drastically relative to the rest of the world anytime soon. The rest of us can protest all we like, but we still have to play ball with the US, one way or the other.
But for all the faults I can list with the US, this is still a far better world than it would have been without the US's domination.
Well I protest our drone strikes in general, although I'm uncertain about this one. I protest our general lack of leadership for a better world (arms treaties, climate change, tax shelters, interpol). We basically suck.
