I haven't encountered Americans getting mad over that but what I have encountered is them thinking everything involves the US, especially lately. For example people claiming the Ukraine - Russia war is a proxy war between the US and Russia instead or that NATO = US. Like chill, your country is not relevant to everything in the world.

"Hey, isn't nati the one that drone strikes weddings?" "No, that the US, that us." "But america is part of nato..." "Yes, but you can't just" "Why would nato do that?"

You aren't totally wrong, but this is why this mindset is pervasive...

And if you look at it by gdp the US isn't even top 10 and the US, UK and northern Ireland are the only countries with a pact obligating them to help Ukraine.
