Chosen people aside, anyone who does this should be driven out of politics, probably the country.

I'm fine with foreign relations, but throwing money around to influence politicians by demanding loyalty and support for foreign powers as a requirement for getting into office is treasonous bullshit. I don't care if that foreign power is a friend, a rival, an enemy, a neutral country, or some little "shithole country."

Pre-election foreign relations should be things like "I will bomb the shit out of zero countries," or "this specific country needs the shit bombed out of it," or "we need to stop illegal immigration from this country," or "trade deals with this country aren't fair to American interests," or "we're spending too much in foreign aid, which is not in our interests."

Promising to be "pro Israel" as a platform is unamerican bullshit. We don't do that shit for much more longstanding and historical allies. No one is demanded to be "pro France" or "pro UK," and they should, as mentioned, be driven out of politics if they were. Now, just to be clear, I have no problem saying you want friendly relations, but it should always be conditional. I don't want a politician who campaigns on "standing with France," and whose donations are dependent on maintaining a relationship that is beneficial to the foreign country of France.
