I think the US actually had quite a bit of respect throughout the world in those days. They simply were not as active in world affairs. The American public in those days were indeed very isolationist, but I don't believe that could really be said of FDR or his crew. He was very much an internationalist.... So far as the US military of that day is concerned, it was nothing compared to what it became, or what it remains. However, they did have one of the largest navys afloat, probably third in the world behind Britain and France, and a good distance ahead of Germany. Whether the military power of the US was active at the time or not is not terribly relevant. It was recognized by Churchill, and perhaps many others including Hitler that there was a tremendous potential in the US to arm itself, and to do that VERY quickly due to the resources that it had. Hitler took nearly every step he could to not provoke the US into that war, and in the end he didn't. As we all know it was the attack at Pearl that finally brought the US ito that war, with serious consequences for the agressor....
The US today is largely seen as a bulley and agressor throughout the world, more feared than respected, as it once was.
