What are these allies giving us in return?
Muh intelligence!
Like how they stopped 9/11, or October 7th. They're the most advanced intelligence agency in the world, which is why neither of those attacks happened, why Israel isn't always getting missiles lobbed at them, and why they
desperately needare gracious enough to accept the US's never-ending "aid." They know it makes us feel warm and fuzzy inside to help them, so they let us feel useful, even though they're obviously strong and independent allies.Israel wouldn't have known anything about 9/11, because they were never the target. The CIA, NSA, and FBI did know, and only the NSA actually tried to do anything to bring it to people's attention.
As for intelligence sharing, there's a good god damned reason they are not in the FIVE EYES. And it's because they put their interest over ours.
But, how can an entity deemed too selfish to be trustworthy enough to have an intelligence sharing treaty be called our greatest ally and, when asked what they provide to the alliance, the answer is usually "unparalleled intelligence?"
That's my point. That's what is usually claimed they bring to the table; their intelligence network. Which can't be trusted to act in the US's interests.
Correct, it's bullshit. Again, France is a much better ally, and their intelligence was always conditional. It's as if we should strictly regulate Israeli influence in the US or something. Currently, the only people not allowed to have unfettered influence in the US is the Russian Federation.
