U.S. behavior is mostly legacy of British, and partially from continental Europe. And adequate person might notice, U.S. is practically on the border, between European and Latin American parts of world. Practically, the same as Ukraine on the border, between Europe and Central Asia. And this geographic situation is very important, on border you could not be really neutral and weak, you must choose one side and be strong enough to be on this side or you will be divided to sides by some external force.
