About this Quote

This quote by Paul Weyrich is a commentary on the current state of worldwide relations.

Weyrich is recommending that these nations are benefiting from this power imbalance, pressing the United States to its limits in order to get what they desire. This quote is a tip that the United States need to be careful in its transactions with other countries, as it is vulnerable to exploitation. It is likewise a caution that the US need to know the power it holds and use it properly.
