Is the U.S. disrespecting Great Britain?

Washington and London have forged the greatest international alliance since the turn of the 20th Century. Now, many inside Great Britain, including parliaments foreign affairs committee, are calling to end the special relationship with the United States. They believe Washington doesnt see a need to corroborate with London on certain common interest areas and therefore should adjust the alliance. Sally McNamara from the Heritage Foundation and a former member of the Nottingham City Council is with Alyona to give you the authentic and fiery British perspective.

Well without Britain there wouldn't be a USA or Canada respect your elders

[youngian]

Like a virile about-town gigilo the USA had about five countries which were 'special.'

The UK was important in the Cold War and the US's priority is now Asia.

That Sally Mcright-wing person is wrong as well, Obama is the first president to have relatives in the UK-it's not personal it's realpolitik. These US arse lickers like Blair, Sally Mcright-wing person and the Tories need to grow up.

@theredraven We still control 15 countries.

[Sheila1932]

Fuck Obama from a British citizen who was ashamed of this relationship from the start.

[theredraven]

@LLOYD19851012 What, a few islands where the people wish to retain our jurisdiction?

Some Empire that.

[FunnyStashVideos]

Because you arrest someone doesn't make him guilty, the lockerbie bomber was a conspiracy, The UK victims believe this, but the U.S victims families just wanted to string up a guy if he was innocent or guilty. It was Iran who was behind that bombing not Libya.

[LLOYD19851012]

@theredraven You should check again as we still have an Empire.

[TheAleksf2007]

when i hear The Heritage Foundation i always know what the answer is gonna be no matter what the issue is......push for war (any war) and blame democrats (Obama) for anything

[HENLEY601]

@AndyTWilliamsMusic true shit that!

[HENLEY601]

@bennyboyjones may be it was because we were completely out numbed its like my whole school vs liverpool football team obvioustly they are better players but we have a lot more so before you go bragging think of the most obvious reason.

[theredraven]

@insanelylogical Rome invaded Britain, the Anglo Saxons invaded Britain, the Normans invaded Britain. France tried, Hitler tried. Funnily enough, most people here got over it.

[theredraven]

@insanelylogical So we're retards but we managed to build a large and successful empire.

Great logic you got there.

[theredraven]

@LLOYD19851012 You mean it has a few islands where the people want to remain under British jurisdiction.

Last time I checked, the Empire ceased to exist in the 1960s when the last of the major colonies got their independence.

[theredraven]

@Moloney20 No, you kicked "Britain's" ass in two wars. BRITAIN. Not England. BRITAIN. The Kingdom of Great BRITAIN in 1776 and the United Kingdom of Great BRITAIN and Ireland in 1812 (which wasn't even a victory for you it was a draw).

[insanelylogical]

@theredraven ,"Yeah and that was over 400 years ago.

"Get over it"

NEVER.

[insanelylogical]

@AndyTWilliamsMusic , you're absolutely right.

The UK IS the most successful country of all time. The most successful robbers,invaders,pillagers,mur­derers,polluters,deniers,decei­vers and retards to ever walk the earth.

[RelaxItsJustAFlare]

Trust this to be on Russia Today. Nice try Putin!!!! This channel you've made is nicely in keeping with your farcical public image.

[spenceCID]

@HENLEY601 The USA.

[LLOYD19851012]

@Moloney20 It's arse you dumb fuck.

[bennyboyjones]

@Moloney20 You need to brush up on your history pal. Start by looking up how the USA won the Revoltuionary War.

[amemy1]

Why does RT start so many of its shit articles with a question? Is that because there are no facts, so they invent stories, which they introduce as a question. No smoke without fire being the premise.

[Moloney20]

The americans kicked English ass in two wars.

[LLOYD19851012]

@AndyTWilliamsMusic UK is the only country to still have an Empire

[AndyTWilliamsMusic]

The UK is the most successful Country of all time.

[snitch5000]

Yanks are tossers!!. There is no 'special relationship'. It's a case of the UK been 'used' by the Americans. We should tell them to go fuck themselves!!

[theredraven]

@grimblebrumble17889 I think you're a liar actually.

[HENLEY601]

if you want to give the lifes of soliders for disrespectful pakis then go ahead.
