If UK was just "supporting ally" then it looked heck much like dog doing whatever Master says to do. *woof, woof!*

And what it "looks like" is laregly based on the bias of the "looker". It may have looked like that to those who are eager to cast dispersion on the UK, but not to all. I guess when the tire repair truck shows up on the freeway to assist a motorist, it "looks like" he is subordinate to the motorist.

I agree with you on this (except that I would not use world "largely"). However I have to point out that this applies to your point of view aswell.

Who are those "eager to cast dispersion on UK" and what you mean with that?

Not in my opinion but I understand what you mean with this.
