What countries do you see as American allies? Which are the most trustworthy? Personally . . .I like Mexico and Canada They are the countries that I feel have our back to an extent Britian .. but i know they have their own agendas too moreso that Mexico and Canada These two contries are the reason America hard to attack I dunno . .but i doubt these countries would let invading armies/air planes run through them to get to us.

UK...shared culture has had huge effect on the structure of our governments and our very concepts of government. except for the chicks who don't shave their pits, cricket and tea.
interesting . . i did not think about them Why do you trust them so? I always was off the mind .. Israel did what was best for Israel and screw whatever anyone else says. It just so happens that their goals and our goals have aligned. When they don't . . Israel does what it wants. This is not a bad thing . . . in fact it is what America does but it does not inspire trust IMO Rocket River
Canada and Mexico would be the logical choices. For distant allies, it gets fuzzy. Australia and UK are gamers. Israel and South Korea have their own agendas and recently caused embarrassment for all with the spying case and nuclear experiments. For the countries that are not that friendly with the US, I would trust them for being upfront about who they are. Cuba and China says straight up F-U to your policies and if you have a beef, you know where to find me.
We have the most shared history and culture with the UK (on average). I would say that the UK would be our staunchest ally and we would be there's in any major conflicts...also...I could never really foresee any confilict between the two nations. Not that we'd go to war with Canada, but you get the point. I think the UK, Australia, Canada, and America, with mostly (on average) the same roots and heritage...plus the shared experience of being staunch allies with each other since the world wars would put those to the top. I think that Japan is so capatilist that they would probably be the most trustworthy of any Asian nations even though we were against them in WW2. Surprisingly...I think Russia's ties with the US are only going to be stronger and stronger in the future. I don't know for sure...but it seems the more of a superpower your country is...the more you are going to make peace with the other superpowers. In the long run...it benefits everybody to have all the countries get along. I don't know if you are going to see any major conflicts between superpowers any time soon. Either a cold war, or a world war. China, US, UK, Europe as a whole, Japan...all gain by being friendly with each other and trading with each other.
