“The message was bigger than to Israel. It was a message to the world: America’s friends can trust us, but America’s foes had better fear us.”

The clear indication of respect that ought to be given has a Biblical corollary that one should LOVE and FEAR YHVH. In other words, there is a mixture of love and respect that is expected, and if the proper fear is missing, a reason will be provided so that the attitude assumes the proper form.
