That sure is true. There are all those Europeans living in what some people today call "vassal states" of the USA. Then there are Aussies. Not even a wad of spit separates their government from the USA. Japan and Taiwan and South Korea are not exactly "western" but sure do like our military pre-eminence (despite the fact we lose more wars than win them since WW2)(maybe it's really our bombs they love)(or our neoliberal hawks who love their investment portfolios from using or selling bombs, bullets, drones, missiles and F-35 Lightning II's. Then there's the hapless little nations who know better than cross sanction-happy USA.
