America is more like the spoiled, privileged child who grew up to be a bully because it never really got used to having to play nice with others and treat them like equals, rather than having the truly embittered, hysterical tang of the cycle-of-abuse kind of bullying. It is possible to get America to get bored and give up; this is far less true of other aggressive nations.
