France/USA: Spot the difference

This article argues that France and the USA are not too different and this is actually why they are so much at odds, or more than they should at least.

I think one of the biggest similarity is the fact that France doesn't like to be told what to do or to go where it is told to go just to please the other side.
Thank you Mr De Gaulle for that.

So obviously, when France doesn't simply go with what the USA decided, they get angry at France.
This is not respectful, this is behaving like a spoiled brat (or giant).

But there is another similarity here :)
When France was really powerful, long time ago, I am sure it treated its allies the same way.
I guess it comes with the job of being powerful...
