Question for van Creveld's "Transformation..." owners

I have one discussion going on in another forum. My copy of "Transformation of War" is not available for me. Could you help to remind what van Crevel said about exporting of western way of warfare. I remember, that van Creveld said that western powers are exporting their way of war making to partners, because then they can sell them their equipment and if those partners are not friendly anymore, then they can be punished with military means, because western powers are superior and know how to fight small ex-partners. Do I remember this thought correctly?
