That's because I'm not the strawman you think I am.

I oppose foreign aide generally because it is designed to effectively colonize 3rd world countries.

Israel's government shouldn't be getting foreign aide for the exact same reason no one should be getting foreign aide.

For it's military purposes, they could easily fund it themselves if they wanted to. It's probably Israel's most popular program, I'd be willing to bet.

Israel always works to do whatever benefits Israel first. It's actually one of the reasons the US shouldn't trust them. Canada, UK, the US, Australia, and NZ will typically communicate with each other to decide if something needs to be done. Israel doesn't give a shit. We are closer allies with France than we are with Israel. Israel has, and will, start wars and assassinate leaders with zero warning to the US.

That attitude has come about mostly because they have tactically found themselves being treated as pariahs internationally due to intense Arab pressure. Including the multiple "truces" that were designed to give Arab units time to resupply and re-equip in the first Arab-Israeli War. It didn't help that Israel was straight up prepared to take arms against France and Britain during the Suez Crisis. A crisis that the Israelis basically caused by realizing that they could get something over on the international community and the Globalist order by making the Suez Canal Israeli territory, thus assuring their existence at the point of a gun.

Simply put, the Israelis don't fuck around with their national interests, they never put themselves 2nd, and they are aggressive enough to fight well above their geo-political "weight class".

So, controlling them with foreign aide is an utterly worthless maneuver by the US. They don't really need our help thanks to their own competence militarily, economically, and (in recent decades) diplomatically.

At this point, a lot of thier old potential threats have fallen apart: Syria, Iraq, and Egypt are not much of threat anymore due to tactical and diplomatic reasons. Jordan has always played 2nd fiddle to everyone, but it's no longer a big concern due to it's relationship with the US, and the fact that they couldn't ever wage a war against Israel in the first place. The biggest threats they face are from Saudi Arabia and Iran, who are engaged in a major Arab Cold War for dominance in the region (and is why Syria and Iraq were destroyed by militants). Since Israel has a good relationship with the US, and Saudi Arabia has a good relationship with the US, and a Saudi-Israeli war never totally served Saudi Arabia's interests, they aren't too big of a threat. But their connection to Sunni Jihadists as a proxy force is absolutely a threat to Israel. Israel has to keep a good relationship with the US to help keep Sunni Terrorism at bay.

Iran is a fucking nightmare scenario because it's not just Iran, it's Hezbollah, which supports Shia Terrorism, and has a nasty habit of straight-up taking over multiple arab states and turning them into Iranian vassals. A conquest of Iran is basically a non-option for both Israel and even the US. However, Iran's distance from Israel (and a lack of a strong and independent Israeli surface fleet) means that Iran is out of striking distance from most forms of retaliation, even nuclear (without effective long-range missile systems which Israel may not have). We know they've got bombs, but we don't know that they have missiles, and if they have to go to war with Iran, Saudi Arabia will laugh hysterically, and send fighters to fight Israel. If Hezbollah can vassalize Lebanon, Jordan, or Syria, it's a huge crisis. If Iran takes full control of Iraq (and for a while, it did), then Iran gets a free buffer state against Saudi Arabia and Israel.

Meanwhile Iran uses Palestine & Gaza as a remote launching point of attacks on Israel when desired; extending Iran's military capabilities while Israel has nothing to really counter with besides, basically, the US Navy. Iran was basically setting up a similar situation in Saudi Arabia with the use of Yemen. This is why Trump blasting Solemani's ass was so fucking useful. It properly damaged Iran's proxy force command and control, and allowed the Saudis and Israelis to benefit from a weakened Iran.

For the Americans, there is NO FUCKING REASON we should be sticking our dick in this Tri-State Cold-War mess, especially when we have the ability to fund our own energy reserves, and if the Saudis and Israelis want our military tech, they can fucking pay for it. I can appreciate that the Israelis don't have a good navy, but maybe make that a fucking priority? Fucking hit up Ethiopia for a port to use, say something stupid about ancient ethnic Jews or something, and therefore it's important to have a good relationship with Ethiopia. No one gives a shit. Iran and Saudi Arabia will know exactly what you're up to. They need a better surface fleet (we can sell some ships), and they need better sailors (that's a complete and total political-cultural failure on Israel's god damned part for not taking it seriously for 70 fucking years).

The US should be developing it's off-shore energy reserves, continuing on it's fusion development, and importing oil from fucking Canada, I don't care what the Watermelons cry about.
