[Peace-discuss] Real relation US/Israel

[C. G. Estabrook]

Oren continues,

"For the price of annual military aid equaling roughly half the cost of one 
Zumwalt-class destroyer, the United States helps maintain the military might of 
one of the few nations actively contributing to America’s defense"

- where "America's defense" is understood as US domination of the Mideast, the 
world's greatest energy-producing region, as a strategic advantage over US 
rivals. (The US of course imports very little energy form the Mideast.)
