Bromance: The Special Relationship

The Anglo-American relationship had always been quite special through history. Each side of the partnership shared their moments as the hegemon of this world. Both are intertwined with each other, like Siamese twins. Politically, they shared the same views and general ideology of a democratic society, preaching democracy across the globe as if it was their crusade to liberate rogue states. Historically, the US is conceived by the rebels of the British Empire, and would then be a forever ally of the Brits at the World Wars. There are a lot more parallelisms that we could compare the two states, societies and countries. But, how can we say that the Anglo-American relationship is a very special kind of relationship apart from other state to state relationships such as American-Filipino or the Franco-British relationships?

Jobs. A specialty of Mr. Clinton

I never really intellectually digested the movie/documentary. For starters, I never really got across Tony Blair and Bill Clinton except through the readings in my majors and in some political news that I read in the past. I never really cared about their legacies, I never really cared who they are, for all I know is that they are the President and Prime Minister of their respective countries. I never grew up appreciating, studying, and and doing extensive research about this 2 people. For me, Anglo-American relationship, between leaders is about the Churchill-Roosevelt. The Blair-Clinton partnership, is born out of concepts and ideologies and tainted legacies that makes people who do not study political science scratch their heads for they do not understand anything. For me, who is a war person and appreciates old school personalities, I would never appreciate nor would want to know and do extensive studies about the Blair-Clinton partnership. It is, really, kind of boring.

The Anglo-American marriage is always frowned upon by the world. Two highly industrialized and powerful state conniving with each other. Maybe only the Moscow-Beijing relationship can rival this kind of relationship, had it not been for the fall of USSR. Imagine, 2 states that have veto power in the UN Security Council. 2 states that publicly declares their ties with each other. 2 states that in the past 50 or 60 years had been allies through battles, whether it is in Germany or Kosovo or in Afghanistan. It is as if they always got their backs held by each other, and that in pressing times they would help each other. The United States and the United Kingdom. Through the years, through leaders, and through wars, they taken care of each other like a friend should be. That unlike other countries who change their relationship with one another within a year or a change in the leadership, the US-UK partnership held their ties strong. Unlike other countries who form their alliance or relationship with another country through wars or because of security dilemma or because she is your border, the US-UK partnership found its oddity by using ideology, which is democracy, as their hinge to continue their partnership. There are a lot of ways to distinguish the relative uniqueness of this relationship apart from the rest.
