The veneer of the "Special Relationship" is dead. Trump uses Britain's desperate need for relevance as a weapon, dangling the promise of alliance while imposing tariffs, launching an illegal war from our airbases, and publicly humiliating the prime minister who handed him the keys. This is the story of a mythology that took us to Iraq, is taking us to Iran, and was always built on a lie, told by a man whose only truly special relationship was with Jeffrey Epstein.
The 'special relationship' didn't help Britain during the 1982 Falklands war when America refused to help Britain with intelligence and allowing aircraft to either refuel or stage out of the USA. That was Reagan/Thatcher era and those two were as thick as thieves.
The relationship is only special when America needs it to be.

Yes 100% it has only ever been a oneway street
