The U.S.'s truest ally

Who is the U.S.'s staunchest ally?

  • Total voters
    52
  • Poll closed .
Japan?

Just wondering.
 
I would say Canada. We kind of grew up together, and in the beginning it was a rocky relationship... but later we became pretty good friends. We don't really have conflict and we help each other economically. I think recently things have been a bit shaky because of border security issues, but other than that it's still the status quo. It doesn't get much better than that.

UK... Now if we could only turn our childish Congress into a Parliment, where the members are only allowed a minute to present and a minute for the PM to respond, we could stop this endless, fruitless back and forth gotcha exercise.

Interesting perspective on the UK. I think you'll find that the US has a number of Air Force bases in the UK. Fyligdales Moor, Menwith Hill, Lakenheath and Mildenhall are all joint RAF/USAF bases.

As for parliament, I think you are mistaking the Vaudeville of Prime Minister's Question Time, a half-hour shoot-out once a week, with the dreary, long-winded but essential business of the House and its committees which take up 95% of parliamentary time. PMQs are an essential part of parliament in a Prime Ministerial system, perhaps not in a Presidential one, although I think everyone would love to the the Pres called to public account weekly, wouldn't they?
