Ah yes, Iraq was very close to compromising the US's global position. /s

I know this is sarcasm but I still have no idea what you're trying to say. Who said anything about the US's global position?

The rest of us did stuff for them because we liked them, and Israel is closer to vassalising the US if you just look at the exchange of favours.

Oh no I'm not talking about the West; those are for the most part "allies". By vassals I meant US-installed or heavily controlled/supported governments all over the world, like in the Middle East, Africa and South America (though those seem to be more independent now).
