I think there is a sense globally that America as a concept is “owned” by other countries; most of our citizens are descendants of other countries, and we pay massive amounts of money to support their lifestyles via contributions to NATO, WHO, and other organizations. I think there is a lot of, “America should do this” because how America does it will directly impact their lives in other countries.

Brits choosing a different monarch doesn’t really effect the rest of the world any more; America electing a new president does. More so than any other election in the world.
