Hey Joe... I think what Vick is saying, among others, is that it just so happens that right now America is the top country -- economically, politically and militarily.
The US, like any other country who found itself in that position, would do whatever it takes to stay there.
As a result, certain actions have a ripple effect and certain other countries find themselves not aligned with the outcome or risks associated with those actions. That is inevitable.
If France was in the position the US is right now, we would all be speaking of them the same way non-Americans tend to speak about the US.
