Merkins = Americans....There is another meaning for "merkin" (Pubic Wig), see
merkin - Wiktionary
.
taking over again = a behaviour that aforementioned nation is considered, by a huge proportion of the earth's population, to favour for so very much.. .. i.e. just as the British Empire was viewed by many in the late 19th Century, the Merkins are viewed by many as seeming to think they can do what they like, where they like, when they like.
little nations = most of the rest of the world, outwith the USofA
This is of course not universally true as there are many excellent & admirable Americans: And some good bits of American Governments (cf other countries, discuss....)
NB My father was liberated from a German PoW camp by Americans after 4 yrs as A Hitler's guest: I spent most of my working life working for American companies, with Americans. Like most nations there are unattractive characteristics exhibited by some citizens...
Pause for flames... Pot, kettle remarks etc...
Cheers!
