  1. ~Today, yesterday or tomorrow?  The US changes 'allies' faster than I change my underwear.

    Scott, it didn't start 7 years ago.  It's been going on since we first made our first treaty with the American Indians.  From the Trail of Tears through the duplicity, neutrality violations and provocations that provoked the Japanese to attack Pearl Harbor to the World Trade Center it has been a consistent and ongoing policy that our governments steadfastly lies to us about but which is as clear as a Rand McNally atlas if you simply read the government's own documents.

    In 1941, Ho Chi Minh and the Viet Minh were our allies. Our support of them (and Mao) was one of the provocations that resulted in Pearl.   We stabbed them in the back in 1944, 1945, 1946, 1954 and 1956.  The result was the Vietnam war.  We put Diem in power in South Vietnam in '54, but helped assassinate him in '63.

    We put Saddam Hussein on the six man hit team trained by the CIA to overthrow the democratically elected reform government of Iraq in 1963 and helped him seize power in Iraq a few years later.  When he wanted a bigger cut for the oil being siphoned out of his desert for the schools, hospitals, and powerplants he was building and for the social programs he was setting up, he became a bad guy.

    We helped Raphael Tujillo kill his way to power in Peru, then we decided we didn't like him so we killed him.  He threatened United Fruit Company assets and he stopped jumping when Uncle Sam snapped his fingers.

    We put Samoza in power and with the help of the Iranian fundamentalists who were holding our hostages at the time, tried to keep him there.  The Columbian drug cartel benefited greatly from than one, as did the Afghan and Golden Triangle poppy farmers.

    We sponsored the assassination of Mohammad Massadeq and put the Shah back on the Peacock Throne in 1954.  We created, organized, trained and assisted SAVAT to keep him there.  It took 25 years, but the Iranian people finally got rid of the Shah so we turned on Iran.  Since we decided we didn't like Saddam either, we helped Iran in the war against Iraq.  Of course, we didn't like Iran too much anymore so we also helped Iraq against Iran.

    We wanted the Kurds to do our bidding in Iraq, so we allied with them.  Naturally, when we no longer needed them or could use them, we turned our backs on the Kurds so they could be slaughtered in Iraq.

    We armed and trained the 'freedom fighters' who invaded Afghanistan in the late 70s and early 80s.   They were the good guys then.  Kabul asked their ally for assistance and the USSR sent in the tanks and the Hinds.  Although Moscow had responded to the request of an ally for military assistance, we called it an invasion and beefed up the support for the 'patriots' and 'freedom fighters'.  You might recognize those guys.   One was named Osama bin Laden.  Others were collectively called the 'warlords' and the Taliban.  When they got miffed because we cut them off, they let their discontent be known so we changed their sobriquet to 'terrorists'.  Same folks, different US agenda.

    We helped Papa Doc and Baby Doc seize and hold power in Haiti.

    We put Suharto in power in Indonesia.

    Generally, US 'allies' in the 'third world' are tyrannical despots who will cater to US demands and allow, for a cut, US corporate interests to rape and pillage their homelands.  If it means killing or overthrowing freely elected democratic reform governments who are less pro-American or who speak of nationalizing industry or who demand a fair price for their resources or fair labor laws for their people, that's a small price to pay and Uncle is only too happy to pay it.  That millions of innocents have been slaughted as a result is not only inconsequential, it is not even a consideration.  US and CIA backed puppets, with direct help from US assets, have killed as many or more people than did the n***s in the 30s and 40s.  When out puppets no longer serve our needs or dance to our tune, we throw them out or kill them.  Historically, especially since 1948, it is almost as dangerous to be a US ally as it was to be a US enemy.

    We led the charge to establish sanctions against Pakistan to stop their nuclear program.  We needed bases for the Afghan terrorists where the Hinds couldn't reach them.  Pakistan was available, for a price.  We needed Pakistan airspace to go after out Afghan terrorist erstwhile allies and to go after our boy gone uppity Saddam.  Pakistan was available, for a price.  The sanctions were relaxed and lifted.  Our boys in Pakistan have been replaced by reformists and the constitution has been reinstated (somewhat).  We are now once again concerned with the Pakistani nuclear program.  Not to worry.  We are mending fences with Momar Khadify

    Increasingly since 1814, our staunchest and most consistent ally has been the UK.  We haven't tried to invade Canada for awhile and they're our buddies.  Mexico is iffy, but we sure don't want Mexicans crossing the Rio Grande.  We treat our 'modern' 'civilized' Teutonic allies in Europe much differently than we treat the Third World, although when we overthrew the government in Greece in 1967 and they had the effrontery to complain, LBJ told the Greek Ambassador "[ph]uck your parliament and your constitution."  Uncle Sam is the only US ally.  All other peoples and governments on the planet are used as pawns and tools, and every once in awhile a building gets knocked down as a result.


  2. People have friends on whom they can rely in almost any circumstance. They also work on an ethical framework. It's juvenile to think either of those applies to nations, which work for their own self-interest. The US and the UK, for instance, have extremely close ties, but even there the limits are not those of personal friends. Half the world are our allies when we have mutual interests, but the specific circumstances have to be taken into account.

  3. canada, isreal, france , UK , netherlands.

  4. Japan

  5. Over the past 7 years we seem to have succeeded in alienating just about everyone in the world.

  6. Israel, Britain

    the others are not trust-worthy

  7. obviously the United Kingdom (probebly there most loyal) and there most powerfull, but as well france, presuming you mean close allies and not the countrys it tries to help, most of the EU, as well as that of the British commonwealth and not most of the world, not even close, but they are allies with most of the worlds most powerfull nations, as well as the US being the most powerfull country in the world,
