We may work well together, but after business hours we go our separate ways.
Mexico and the US have a love/hate relationship. Can't live with you, can't live with you.

What is interesting it's that the same could be said for the US and Canada. It's not easy being a United States neighbor.

As far as political allies I'd say Israel, UK, it depends really.

USA/Canada: Dumb jock getting tutored by the nerdy girl who, when she takes off her glasses and undoes her ponytail, is actually kind of hot.

USA/UK: Dumb jock getting tutored by an older woman who is kind of a MILF, who is disgusted by and attracted to dumb jock all at the same time.

USA/France: Dumb jock coached by aging, arrogant, former jock convinced that he can still run faster.

USA/Israel: Dumb rich jock who sends all his money to televangelists.

USA/Italy: Dumb jock dressed and fed by beautiful foreign girl, but not getting out of the friend zone.

USA/China: Dumb jock who thinks he has pity-friended nerdy brain, without realizing the brain is developing even bigger muscles under some loose clothing.

USA/Russia: Dumb jock has drunken romp with foreign bombshell; develops incurable STD shortly after.

Pretty funny I agree except for Canada

US and Canada would be more like Marcia and Jan Brady. Canada is Jan Brady, the US is Marcia.

For the USA I would say Canada, closely followed by the U.K. and Australia. Culture language and history unite us, the anglosphere does mean something.

France and the USA have far more historical ties than most people in either country would like to admit. Both nations have depended on the other at different times. Britain would likely have beat us without French help. The Germans would have been very difficult to dislodge from France in Ww2 without US help. All this is true with both nations being quite different from one another. Americans and Frenchmen should have more respect for each other and the massive positive roles we have played in each other's histories for the past several centuries. The smack talk between French and American people sometimes makes you think we are not friendly nations toward each other. History however proves we are friends.

Absolutely correct, France is really nothing like America. I was just trying to make the point that we have been important to each other in spite of those differences. The US is an Anglo nation, most everything here has British roots, same as Australia and Canada.
