Friends that we fucked out of Saudi Arabia, fucked out of Iran, and profited from both in WWI and WWII. Yeah, we aren't enemies with the British but from a Great Game standpoint, they've been a vassal state since Operation Ajax. The Suez Crisis just hammered that home for them. Reagan threw them a bone with the Falklands War, but only when Argentina had ceased to be useful.
