"The United States can tell you all about what's wrong with the British, to say nothing of the Russians"

This quote by Arthur Hays Sulzberger is a commentary on the stretched relationships in between the United States, Britain, and Russia. It indicates that the United States has a lot to say about the faults of the British and Russians, and that the United States remains in a position to evaluate them. This might be analyzed as an indication of the United States' superiority over the other two countries, or as an indication of the United States' determination to criticize and explain the flaws of other countries. It might likewise be interpreted as a sign of the United States' desire to maintain its power and impact in the world. Whatever the analysis, this quote is a pointer of the complex relationships between the United States, Britain, and Russia, and the importance of understanding and appreciating each other's differences.
