"Rivals on the world stage"

The world is not a theatre and I'm not an extra in an audition for the lead actor. Perhaps a more collaborative approach would yield better results and fewer perceived threats.

Usually when someone doesn't understand what I'm saying, I assume I haven't been clear enough and I'll explain further. Had you asked, i would have done so now. But you didn't, so I'll leave it at:

I wasn't implying that the US's world stage rivals were literal individual people auditioning to act in an actual theatre production.
