No Latin American countries on your list. Yeah I agree we don't really have any allies south of the border.

Least anti-American?

The Philippines
Taiwan
Poland
Kenya
Kosovo

..That's about it.

No, we do, but I wouldn't say they're as economically or militarily as strong as those five. Still important allies though.

I think you're asking two separate questions with distinctly different answers.

Our allies (NATO) tend to stab us in the back from time to time and I really wouldn't call them friends or even pro-American. The French are an excellent example.

Our friends make for a pretty short list.

I would include Israel, Poland, Taiwan, Great Britain, Australia, Canada and India...in that order.
