The UK is our greatest ally as they understand the meaning of FRIEND. You see if you are my friend and I was getting into a fight you would not ask if I was 100 percent correct before jumping in and helping, You may after but not before! The UK is the Mother of the USA and has never forgotten that in MODERN history, nor us them. France is an ally but perhaps the worst, not because of independent thinking but for the backdoor deal making.

Hard to say who is the best and worst allie. I guess the European allies are worthy.
I would say that Israel can somewhat be an unstable allie, judging from its aggressive militaristic approaches to solve thier problems. I once saw a documentary on Fox News that Isreali spies are engaged in a lot of espionage and illegal intelligence activities within the US. Most hungry for US military technologies and beyond. Not sure if I believed that documentary.
But I would advise to be careful about all allies, especially allies involved in trouble striken areas of the world. Friends really can betray you.

Best: (Tie) UK/Australia. Both will stick it out, through thick or thin. Both are also wonderful countries full of wonderful people.
Runners Up: Canada, Denmark, the Netherlands
---
Worst: Saudi Arabia. They willingly fund the people that blow up American civilians. In many cases, they ARE the people that blow up American civilians. Can't get a worse "friend" than that.
Runners Up: Pakistan, Russia
---
Most Overrated: India. They're looking out for number one.
Runners Up: Spain, Sweden
---
Most Underrated: Most of Eastern Europe. I'm an American, and even I don't know why they support us as much as they do.
Runners Up: Jordan, Egypt, Indonesia
---
Most Unpredictable: (tie) Israel/South Korea. Half the time they're on our side, the other half it seems like they're just trying to piss us off.
Runners Up: Germany, Italy

Simple, yet complex. Best ally: Great Britain. They are literally "family" to us. They would take a nuke for us and us for them. They also owe us one for helping them out in 1940. Worst ally: Mexico. They are bleeding us white by sluffing off all their poor on us to feed and take care of financially and medically. Their standard of living goes up as more of their "bottom rung" people line up for the free lunch they get over the fence I wish we'd hurry up and finish. Most "High Maintenance" Ally: Israel. That's what bought us 9-11, our friendship with Israel. But they are the only "house of order" in a land that the world depends on for the energy that feeds us all. We HAVE to support Israel. If the Middle East blows up and can't supply oil so we all can eat, that would get nasty all around the world. No wonder Venezuela is scared of us. If no oil came from the Middle East because it was an atomic hole in the ground, we might just get hungry enough to invade them so we could feed and clothe ourselves.

Britain because we share a common history. There is a lot for worst I would list France up there you can always count on the french to vote the exact opposite of what the US stand for. I suspect it my be resentment from saving their *** twice in 2 world wars, as the recipient that is hard to live down.
