Spoiler alert: The US did it.

The cowboys were of course informed, but I think it was Poland together with GB.
Or the British
The British can't take a dump without the US ordering them to. So it amounts to the same thing.
You described Germany! Britain and France are quite independent as far as any Western European nation can be.

  >You described Germany! Britain and France are quite independent...
Germany I'll give you. They've definitely been putting in a herculean effort on the American Poodle front of late. But they'll have to go some to beat the UK's decades' long subservience. When it comes to foreign policy, the UK is basically a US satellite state.

France, on the other hand, were historically probably the Western European nation most likely to tell the US 'Non!' --although, that seems to be increasingly a thing of the past now too.
