    Israel cares only for Israel, most countries put self interest first so that’s only natural but Israel is extreme. What’s in it for the US to integrate in such a one sided relationship?

        There might be an “end of days” for Israelis, but I dont believe there will be one for everyone else. In their mind its the same as the end of the world. In the rest of the world eyes its going to be just another Wednesday.

          Jesus coming to gather his faithful is going to be more like that moment when you open the fridge drawer and realize there’s something you meant to get to but now it’s just a fuzzy black goo.

      Countries tend to become extreme when they’re in a state of war. Do you think Iran is currently not being extreme about it’s self interest?

      What’s in it for the US to integrate in such a one sided relationship?

      First of all the “US-Israeli Military merger” line is obvious hyperbole, because LOL come on. You can google the document they referenced, which you should always do when “alt-media” is saying crazy shit. The reality is the US is looking to get some drone and anti-drone tech from Israel and learn which tactics are effective.

      What’s weird is the US isn’t entering into a similar arrangement with Ukraine, but Trump would veto that because he’s a Russian asset. So anyway the US wants to learn about drone warfare from a country with some experience with it, Ukraine has the most experience and Israel has the next most.

      Oh, and allies spy on each other all the time. Angela Merkel’s phone was bugged by the US a ways back and Trump shared details about Macron’s sex life from the files he kept at Mar a Lago, which were in those files because the US spies on France. These are just intel that we’ve found out about, we can probably assume the US spies on all of it’s allies.

      Besides, given how compromised US intelligence is now, spying on the US is just finding out what the adversaries of the US probably already know.
