Stolen from an X post. I agree with whomever the original author was, our 'allies' have gone to crap, we basically have none
U.S. - ISRAEL ALLIANCE IN A NUTSHELL
“The single reason I like having Israel as an ally is because they are extremely competent. Pound-for-pound, the IDF is the best military in the world; America just has a lot more pounds—that's our way. Their intelligence, targeteering, weaponeering, precision strike capability, its all just absolutely beautiful as a military man.
“Anyone who denies the efficacy of the IDF should be disregarded on all matters military. They are seriously a work of art in that arena.
“[O]ur interests in the Middle East are deep, very hard (if not impossible) to remove, and … Israel is by a wide margin the most competent ally the United States has had since World War II.
“For those of y'all not really paying much attention—if we don't have Israel as our ally, we really don't have anybody. The GCC is militarily useless, Britain and Canada seem to actually be an enemy state at this point, the rest of Europe gobbles Russian balls/energy while simultaneously waging a proxy war against them, and Japan has no military.
“We may have other allies on paper, but in the field the vast majority of our allies are next to useless.”
