Philosophically, sure. Practically, no.

America is an economic and military superpower. Washington having influence over its trading partners and military allies isn't unusual. To the extent I can think of something that mirrors the absurdity of this situation, it's American evangelicals running off to Uganda to stone gays.

Is that something that happened? That sounds horrible. Do you have any more info?
