They are widely hated by Europeans who do not even realize they are a vassal state. Most of the rest of the world would do anything to get to America.

"Most of the rest of the world would do anything to get to America."

I find this to be just a self-enforcing attitude (which one may get a chance to feel when entering a USA consulate).

Some decades ago, when there was a big difference in the quality of life between USA and "the rest of the world" (thanks to WW2 outcome), it made sense to claim such a thing. But things change, you know?

Spoken like a true American (with all that implies).

Most of the world would want America to fucking live them alone.
