The UK has been a reliable ally.
Anyway, I gotta agree with your take on the Ukraine-Russia war. There are no good guys there. Plus it’s a Europe problem, not a US problem. It’s not 1945 anymore.
Back then Europe was devastated. And we were rich. Today Europe can stand on its own. And we are heavily in debt. We should tend to our own problems. The old Q-man got it right:
“She [America] goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy.”
John Quincy Adams
You're right about it no longer being 1945.
Rather, it's more like 1938 (Sudetenland, Austria) or '39 (Poland) - with Putin playing the role of Hitler.

The entire history of the UK and American relations has been one of England stabbing us in the back. It’s really hard to imagine a more dedicated enemy. The first 25 years of our country, they tried to destroy us, even inviting us and burning the capital. They were eyeballs deep in the national banks that Andrew Jackson destroyed. In the Civil War they joined in with the south hoping to fracture America into pieces so they could exploit it again. The czar of Russia parked his fleet in northern ports to prevent British attacks. After the Civil War, we were able to keep them at a distance. Then American Anglophiles and British colluded and created the federal reserve, destroying our financial system. In World War I they were a hostile country towards America until they could force us in on their side. They cut the American undersea cables to France, forcing all communications to go by undersea cable by way of England. The British fleet directly threatened to sync any American shipping trading with Germany while we were a neutral country.
In World War II, a large amount of the effort was somewhat wasted in efforts to protect British possessions abroad.
It was a nest of British spies that helped create the CIA, stole the atomic bomb secrets, and the British government that sold the engine for the MiG-15 to Russia. They were very bitter that we did not assist them during the Suez crisis against British rule. But they simply expected it.
It was MI5 and MI6 that helped try to overthrow our government with the Russia gates scam. To this day, they refuse to force Christopher Steele to come to the United States. They keep Stephan Hapler sage from investigators.
British people are wonderful, but their government is arrogant and believe that has a natural supremacy over America.
I’m not saying we should be at war with them or anything, but this special relationship bull crap has done incalculable damage. Like it or not, they were Gárdos no different than Canada or Australia. Just a colony that got out of hand. Special relationship indeed. The backstabs are numerous, and come every couple of decades since the very founding of our nation.
Oh...oh...
I got another one...
Europe is a continent in a constant state of war. Better for us to stay out of it.
Thomas Jefferson.
“...not a US problem.”

Now you know why we are in it. And this isn’t all of it.
