Top 10 Best Allies of the United States

The UK is, and most likely will be, a close ally until the end of times. I wish I could place Ireland as a tie with the UK, as most of us on the East Coast have strong ties, or at least blood bonds, with Ireland. Unfortunately, Ireland has strict neutrality, even during our world struggles. I would like to see Ireland forgive the past and stand shoulder to shoulder with the countries that love Ireland and want to see her stand beside and with us.

I thank our very close friends France, New Zealand, UK, Canada, Ireland, Australia, South Korea, Norway, and so many others that stand for democracy. Again, this is a post for the UK as our number one ally. As a veteran, I would fight to and through the gates of hell with any soldier of the UK. They are tough and stay the fight. A great people they are.

Canada and the US are more than allies. They are brothers. Think of them as the little brother and big brother. Like many families, they sometimes disagree, but make no mistake, they are always on the same side and will always defend each other.

The last country to threaten Canada was Spain over fish. The US and Britain warned the Spanish government that a threat to Canada is a threat to them, and Spain is a NATO ally. They are each other's largest trading partner by far and share not only the world's longest border but also the longest undefended border in world history.

Japan and South Korea are stronger allies than anything in Europe, in my opinion. Yes, we did bomb these people, while they bombed us, but it's just not the same government anymore. I can't believe that the UK still manages to think it's the US' greatest ally when the Pacific and Eastern Asia is where all the action is happening.

And I wonder why Russia isn't on this list. The US has also been to an indirect war with them, and it's been one of the greatest rivalries in history, after perhaps England and France, but that, like Japan, is a thing of the past. Both countries work together on space and other things.

These are the two most developed countries in the world, and some still manage to complain and say that they are pure enemies. Guys, it's Russia or China, and Russia's the better option. I believe that today's America is more focused on Pacific relations than Atlantic ones.

Israel is the USA's ally because it is the only democracy in the Middle East and shares American views. The country is extremely crucial to America's presence in the most unstable area of the world. America has repeatedly backed Israel, including using its veto power in the United Nations.

The vast majority of America's UN vetoes have been in favor of Israel. Now, Trump has recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital, clearly demonstrating that the country favors Israel over any Middle Eastern or Muslim state. The USA has gone against NATO's interests to defend Israel, especially in recent years.

As Americans, we are committed to protecting South Korea and their freedom at all costs. The US is watching, helping, and sustaining South Korea, while China is doing the same for North Korea. The two countries are like a large-scale social experiment.

We try not to interfere with each other because we both want to prove that our government is better. The US wants to demonstrate that democracy works better than a dictatorship.

The ROK-US alliance is the most successful example of partnership and collaboration between countries in modern-day history. Based on a solid foundation of mutual trust and integrity, the alliance will maintain its position as the vanguard of safeguarding the liberal order in Asia.

Hi mate, Australia has been helping America in so many wars, for example, World War I, the Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, the war in Afghanistan, the Iraq War, and even today with ISIS. We help America in every single war they've got involved in. We didn't have to help. We weren't being attacked in some of the wars they got involved in, yet we stepped in even though we weren't involved. We didn't ask for anything in return, did we? No, we didn't.

Just Lafayette, if our banner is blue, white, and red, it's not from the French Revolution but from Lafayette who liked those three colors from the US flag. We definitely like America, even if sometimes we have some difficulties getting along well. France is the first consumer and presence of McDonald's, a paradox in the country of gastronomy. Anyway, personally, I do love to go to the USA for nice trips. Hope we'll keep our relationships. We'll never forget the famous D-Day.

They have been on our side in every single major war worth fighting. Like a great friend, they pleaded with us not to make the catastrophic mistake we made in Iraq. They would have saved countless lives had we listened to them.

I might even put them at number one.

Well, to start off, Germany did not do anything in World War 2. That's just the country from which the enemy originated. The Nazis were the problem, not Germany. Germany might have a small army, but they are very trusted by the U.S. Germany spends a lot of their money on new technology to help out the European Union and the U.S. They deserve first place.

Not Great Britain. Speaking of the UK, it conquered all but three countries and was at war with the U.S./The Patriots for decades. Even past the American Revolution, Germany has NEVER been at war with the U.S.

The US has grown a lot closer to Poland over the past few years. Their country has developed well out of its communist occupation and is quickly on the path to becoming a major world power. They share many American values, and the US has recently been moving a lot of our troops there.

Poland helped the United States during the first Persian Gulf War and in the following Iraq War. The United States helped expand NATO to include Poland and has deployed the American military to Poland to protect it from Russian aggression.

Also a good ally in the Balkans since we supported the push to remove communism from the region. None of the other Balkan states are as friendly with the US.

My family immigrated to the US from Spain two generations ago. My great uncle and his wife are still alive to talk about living in Spain, but for the most part, I consider myself an American now. I've learned Spanish from my mom and through school, and I've been lucky enough to travel all over the world, partly through the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

My family has also lived all over the globe for a number of years, like Korea, Thailand, and Belgium. I especially go back to Spain too, sometimes just with my brother.

I've met all kinds of people, including Brits, Italians, Greeks, Turks, and Israelis, but I've got to say, the Spanish people, especially the Asturians, are the most hospitable, patriotic, and well-meaning individuals I've ever met. They might also have the best sense of humor. Of course, this is all my opinion, but it makes me sad this isn't higher on the list. I say number 3 or 4 at least.

New Zealand is a key part of the U.S. allies as we share our democratic ways. I often think the U.S. should look to NZ as we have a brilliant social welfare system and are considered the safest country in the world, along with having the least amount of corruption. We have a lot to trade with the U.S., such as dairy products, wood, and seafood.

Since Donald Trump became President, many Americans are fleeing to New Zealand as a safe, happy country. We also are one of the countries with the least amount of poverty. We are very similar to Australia, and I think we should be ranked up there with them.

The Philippines was colonized by the Americans from 1943 to 1946. There is no stronger ally in the Asia Pacific Region than a neighboring country. Filipino people also adapted the language as a medium of communication in school, business, the international market, and so on.

The Filipinos and Americans have always had a lot of mutual respect for each other. The values of the Philippines are similar to those of America, and the two countries are still going strong together, especially post-WWII.

While this cooperation doesn't immediately come to mind, Ukraine will focus on enhancing its friendship with the United States more, as it is the only way the country will survive.

Actually, yes, the western part. That's why Russia has claimed parts of the eastern part.

Ukraine is one of the closest US allies in Europe and will always remain so.

Mexico is a strong ally of the United States. Just remember, they helped defeat the Nazis, Great Britain, and Japan. So yes, they deserve to be recognized as a good ally.

Yet, Donald Trump dislikes the people there. I sense that the special bond will be broken.

I'm Mexican, technically I live in the US now but it's not Mexico's fault we had a war. Besides, it's your point of view. I think their relationship is strong, and I'm sure it's the president we have that will determine how things will move. I think Mexico is a big ally.

Out of Europe, Norway and the U.S. share many similarities that cause the two countries to get along well.

An old and faithful ally of the US, Norway was a co-founder of NATO and has upheld its close ties to the US through the years.

Taiwan is certainly forming a very good alliance with America. The USA has always been by Taiwan's side, encouraging them to turn against Communist China, and helping them advance in technology to counter China. This is a common strategy for the USA, never actually fighting themselves. They never actually send troops directly into China. They always use tactics such as encouraging Taiwan to fight China. The USA played a role in breaking apart the Soviet Union. We use North and South Korea as tools to counter China. Remember that.

You're the world's best. Bless God.

Formal U.S. relations with Morocco began in 1787 when the United States Senate ratified a Treaty of Peace and Friendship between the two nations, which had been negotiated in 1786. Renegotiated in 1836, the treaty is still in force, constituting the longest unbroken treaty relationship in U.S. history. Tangier is home to the oldest U.S. diplomatic property in the world.

Morocco was the first country to recognize the USA. As an American, I love Morocco, and I do not know of any anti-Moroccan sentiment in our country.

I can see that since Najib took over as President, he is more aligned with the US behind the scenes. But in our eyes (media), we just seem to be in the middle between China and Russia.

Still one of the best allies. They have a good military. Turkey would be very effective if going against Russia.

One of the best and most powerful allies of the USA, especially regarding its operations in the Middle East.

Turkey is a critical ally to secure its interests in the region.

They helped fund the revolution and bankrolled our trade at the start of our country. In turn, we got rid of the Nazis for them. The Netherlands are going to be riding with us for a long time.

The Dutch, like the Americans, are inventors. There is a history of the two countries supporting each other scientifically.

They sold us cheaper tea during the Revolutionary War. True friends.

Yes and no. Ireland is a great ally, and we have made many agreements, improving relations with Great Britain.

Pakistan helped the U.S. defeat the Soviet Union in 1979 with Operation Cyclone. It completed many non-NATO missions, including saving four U.S. embassy members from Somali pirates. Pakistan also assisted the U.S. in Operation Gothic Serpent, alongside Italy, Malaysia, and South Korea, to defeat the SNA. Furthermore, Pakistan has a very large volume of trade with the U.S.

Although there are many disputes and Pakistan is often seen as a two-faced country, there has been some benefit that resulted satisfactorily. It continues to be a key member as a non-NATO member, a title held by few.
