Like we actually needed them. They were diplomatic cover. We should take our ball and go home. We are like whores that other countries use and they don't even pay us on top of it.
Britain is not our ally. Not to me.
Well, then you're a shit person.
UK is not only our ally, they're one of the few allies we have worth keeping around.
Our intelligence services work together intimately for the past century and we've prevented countless attacks in both countries and around the globe because of our cooperation.
We don't need them to pay us as long as they continue to serve our interests. We're plenty wealthy on our own and our corporations make trillions of dollars with our British brothers and sisters.
You also have to consider that due to UK's geographic location, and their loyalty to our alliance, they bear the brunt of the repercussions to our foreign policy failures. British citizens die for our safety and they have earned our support through decades of mutual sacrifice and cooperation.
