Should the US-UK relationship be called the "Special Relationship"?

[ηєω ƒяσηтιєя]

For me, personally, I don't think so.

But what do you all think? Discuss.

[Del Tachi]

The relationship has always been more "special" to the UK than it is to us.  The term itself is a post-war, Churchillian invention meant to convey Britain's cautious satisfaction with the rise of a historically, culturally and linguistically linked United States as a global hegemon.

The US in 2022 has far more strategic allies than Britain, but our relationship is destined to remain "special" in a cultural sense.  Americans will always be mystified by Merry England.  Britons will continue to see America as the destination for their most successful.

Call it whatever you want if it makes the Brits feel happy; it doesn't matter either way.

Broke: America is a pawn of Israel
Woke: the American president for many years had a bust of a British imperialist in his office

[Lechasseur]

Yes

I'm assuming you are referring to countries like Israel, Saudi Arabia, Japan, South Korea, and Canada here.
