Rikudou powered up or not, the fact still stands: they are not able to stand their own ground in politics neither in battle.
Tell me if Hashirama dared to keep messing with the First KazeKage, or if Madara while a diplomat dared to invade Iwagakure.
Hashirama weren't in alliance with any of those villages nor where they fighting a threat they had no experience with. This is a era where villages were still being formed and economies and military force weren't fully brought into position (pre-chuunin exams).
They do stand their ground in politics and battle. They are simply not as strong as those two. On their planet, they are in the top 10
living.
Momoshiki isn't from earth and a alien, they shouldn't be expected to be able to fight him reliably since realistically, Not his fused counterpart. Only Lee and Gai would be capable of even standing a chance (and thats with 8 gates) without Naruto and Sasuke being there.
Naruto has no say in their village's politics outside of their summit meetings and not every country in the real world are as strong as the US or China etc.
Gaara fought better? I can't hear you over the sound of him getting completely destroyed.
That's are your standarts? Oh well. Oonoki also was fine at this battle.

Also: you have no sense of self preservation? Would you gladly let USA mess with your country because they are the besssttt?
What a third world country mindset.
Gaara did do better against momoshiki than the other 3 using his sand before eventually being overpowered.
Onnoki didn't even fight a god-like being, he fought a legendary undead shinobi with infinite chakra. That was a losing battle regardless of who took the 5 kage's place (that wasn't hashirama)
The USA is my country, and unlike Konoha. They do **** with everyone else. I haven't seen Konoha interfere with the politics of another country outside of summit meetings and the chuunin-exams.
Konoha main priority is keeping peace and preventing world ending threats from occuring
