Of course the special relationship is a myth which simply demeans the UK in that we somehow need it. The Americans have little affinity to anyone else and why should they. They are certainly big enough not to need a relationship with us. What they do value though is our support when they flex their muscles in that our support somehow legitimises their actions.
The relationship between Mrs Thatcher and Regan was more personal than strategic. Gawd knows what will happen if they decide to take actions against NK...
They want America first so that proves their intentions and we should stand back and let them go alone.
