Russia is not an empire. It would like to have a sphere of influence with friends, but it definitely needs its neighbours to not be US empire agents bent on destabilizing it into civil war.
China is not an empire either. It makes foreign investments that are better than any US offers. US is the one that uses extortion and bribery of puppets it installs the most.
Germany is not an empire, but has cultural ties to Austria, Swiss. They are more powerful than those neighbours, but if Germany reduce US subservience, US would be welcome to come to manipulate/select German neighbour rulerships to destabilize Germany. Any anti-German faction would get all the money and weapons.
