America isn't like some kind of single-faceted entity that reaches into the world and does stuff to further its agenda for its own glorification. How much easier would it be not to talk to Libya, or Crimea, or Russia, or China, or Taiwan, or Tibet? To wash their hands of the problems of other nations?
America is also its people: 'Oh, I don't mean I think Americans are bullies.' Just the people they vote for, right? My mother is an American, as is my whole family on that side. They're lovely. Of course there are some real asshole Americans, too. But that sentiment is not true because of America, it is true because some people are lovely and some people are assholes, and no people are exclusively lovely or exclusively assholes.
America is a phenomenal trading partner to Canada. Our relationship with them has been very beneficial to us both.
Why isn't Russia a bully for annexing two Georgian provinces in 2008? For forcing a revolt in Crimea when his puppet-ruler failed in Ukraine? Why is the US a bully for saying that Putin ought not to interfere in a sovereign nation's affairs, while Putin marches in with the army and shrugs off the deaths and evictions of citizens who aren't ethnically Russian?
