Technically England is our greatest ally. The shared language and culture is at the base. Even during the Revolutionary War through 1812 when the British finally acknowledged U.S. independence trade was still flowing across the Atlantic Ocean.
I often wonder who actually wins wars. For example, supposedly Germany lost the war, yet Germans seem to be behind a lot of secret programs, it seems. It really appears that a deal was struck between a group of Germans and the US. Technically, Germany lost the war, but did it?
The socialists lost the Second World War. The National Socialist German Workers' Party (German: Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei) was originally a very small organization. They only gained the mass following by requiring membership to gain or retain what they referred to as 'jobs important to national security.' Because the list was repeatedly expanded people who wanted to work for a living found themselves unceremoniously inducted.
Y'know, I've considered this as well. I call them our cousins (and I have heritage in the UK).
