    Europe can do with Asia, so can US, but US can do SA better so SA for the sake of Western hegemony !!

        It's an interesting question and very hard (but worthwhile) to think about it in a context that deconfounds the nature of current relations or "what would need to be done to have good relations".

        Countries that come to mind:

        Large Borders
        Canada
        Mexico

        Significant commercial scope
        China
        Japan
        Germany

        Military concerns
        Russia
        China

        Other issues:
        Saudi Arabia (oil and Mecca/Medina holders)
        Kuwait (or other Gulf Nations): as footholds in the region

        UK (as a brake on EU isolation)

          It depends on what you mean. But if it came down to who would the US be prepared to go war for I would guess UK and Canada.
          Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

            I doubt the US would go to war for the interests of the UK. There would have to be a direct reason affecting the US for the US to enter, not simply standing up to bat for the UK. (I can see the pretext of helping 'the Brits' being used of course).

            Same for Canada, but if Canada needs someone standing up in such a way that might involve US military action, then the US is probably directly involved anyway.
            One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.

                No. The US can afford to have bad relations with India.
                But if the US loses Kuwait....

                  Japan. Came down to the UK and Japan for me, as they're the most vital allies the US has in Europe and Asia, respectively. Asia is the more important region now, though, so Japan gets the nod.

                    If the US doesn't continue to bow to the Emperor, Japan might declare war....

                      The 12 Colonies. The US desparately needs to make sure that when contact is made there will be American built Battlestars in orbit and not Chinease or Russian ones.

                        The United States needs to improve its foreign relations with Texas.

                              Then, once we get Texas to drop its guard, we force it back into the Union.
