Secret US memo for Congress seen by Mail On Sunday says Britain's 'special relationship' with America is over

Washington believes that the ‘special relationship’ between Britain and the US is over, according to a secret briefing document seen by The Mail on Sunday.

The memo for members of Congress states damningly that ‘the UK may not be viewed as centrally relevant to the United States in all of the issues and relations considered a priority on the US agenda’.

Dated April 2015 and drawn up to brief the Senate and House of Representatives on the impact of Britain’s General Election, the memo also warns that the UK faces turmoil if there is a hung parliament.

Any “special relationship” there was with us and Britain, went out the door when the _resident sent back churchill’s bust and ‘won’ the Nobel war prize.

Stick it out Britannia, we have to live with the sorry SOB!

God helps us all.

Worst _ resident EVER!

I would donate a bust of Obama to Her Majesty, but I am afraid it would consist of an inverted, severed head, so I will forego that for now. Everything about Obama smacks of very bad taste, he just has very poor manners to boot.

Of course not. The Ayatollahs, Castro, and all Communists and Islamist Jihadists are our best buds now.

Yes they have.

The average age of the world's greatest civilisations from the beginning of history has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to complacency; From complacency to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage.
— Alexander Tytler

The question for us is this: Where are we?

A country has to be a radical muslim or communist country to have a special relationship with the US now.

That’s a fav quote.

IMHO, We’re somewhere along “From complacency to apathy; From apathy to dependence”

That rings so eerily too. Everything he’s doing is as if he isn’t going to leave office.

"WHO purportedly wrote the secret memo for Congress?"

According to the news right near the top of the article, it came from the Congressional Research Service--Congress itself.

We have become the Great Satan the islamics claimed we were, back in the 1970’s.

I have three ‘go triggers’.

1) Confiscation of firearms.
2) Suppression of free speech on the internet.
3) Obama refuses to leave office.

He has been groomed his entire life to hate everything about the western way of life.

And the majority of the American electorate has been groomed to be oblivious to the impending end to their way of life. The prospect of Hildebeest being elected POTUS proves it.

Yeah, he just acts as if very flatulent idea he gets can’t be reversed or is indelible gospel.

Or he knows the RINO squishes will fight for their king.
