2. Britain
We didn’t exactly get off to the best start with this ally as Britain was an enemy and then a long standing rival for many years. However, since the Second World War, the relationship with Britain has become closer than with any other nation. The Anglo-American alliance has grown into what Winston Churchill famously described as a ‘special relationship.’ A relationship solidified in the 1980s with Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher’s close bond, both personally, and politically.
Through our working together, the US and Britain have saved West Berlin from the evils of communism, forged NATO to deter Russia from expanding over Europe again as they did in the Cold War, liberated Kuwait, and toppled Saddam Hussein’s blood soaked regime and decimated ISIS across the Middle East. When it comes to manufacturing effective military hardware, few do it better than Britain.
