China and Russia.
According to the Theory of War, which teaches that the best way to avoid the inconvenience of war is to pursue it away from your own country, it is more sensible for us to fight our notorious enemy in his own realm, with the joint power of our allies, than it is to wait for him at our own doors.

Are not allies...

Re: Greatest Allies
Russia refuses to sell modern military equipment to China...
That shows how close an alliance they are.

Re: Greatest Allies
He said 'biggest' not 'closest'.
Oldest alliance would be England and Portugal.

Re: Greatest Allies
People in danger who need to depend on each other
it's shown time and time again in all times of trouble. From the anti-persian league to the allied of WWII the coalition of the willing
It's ironic that peace causes division, while war and diffculty inspires unity.

Re: Greatest Allies
"Biggest" hints at covers the largest land mass, which could be the British Commonwealth if it was closer binding.
Presumably you mean the most "powerful" or "binding" And that would be the relationship between the US and the UK or the US and the Eurozone, even if only for trade.

Re: Greatest Allies
I would guess most soldiers between the two.
Could do with some clarification from the OP.

Re: Greatest Allies
National interests will always be put before friendship and treaty. A nation will carefully weigh up its outcomes and possibilities before throwing in support. The exception to this rule is the US and Israel. Thats slavish devotion.

Re: Greatest Allies
even though every Brit poster in this forum is going to get pissed off, I still think the best all-around alliance is the "special friendship" between the US and the UK. Now watch Ferrets come in here and blow his stack...

Re: Greatest Allies
I'd say the UK, Oz and NZ is a real special relationship. The US/UK "special relationship" thing was pushed by Thatcher who sold our foreign policy down the river even though she got shafted on the Falklands. We've been taking it up the bum since with the magnus opus being the whole Iraq **** up.
