I mean, I understand Israel is just "allies" with us since they're using us and they've done despicable things to our troops.. So who the hell is our friend over there, my fellow Americans?
Or are we universally hated by everyone over there?
Really the only country I can think of over there that would legitimately be our ally is Bahrain, but idk, what do you all think?
Saudi Arabia is not an ally to the United States, no doubt about it.
Neither is Israel.
We could be Syria and Iraq's ally and even Iran's, if we severed ties with Israel and Turkey, which abuse our diplomatic presence to get away with little crimes they commit.
Leo Wilson
Turkroach meme aside, Turkey is pretty bro-tier as far as middle easterners go. Saudi's pay us a ton of money to protect their borders from the air. Plus we sell them tons of military equipment, so as long as they pump oil and buy our scraps they're okay. Problem is we see them as whole countries ,when in reality they are just religious tribes. Really I wouldn't call them "friends" but they hate Americans the least.
Luis Torres
Egypt gives priority passage to the us navy of the suez cannal
does a lot of dirty work for the cia, interrogating terrorists
never harmed a us soldier
Samuel Long
Jordan, Kuwait, UAE...any country with money.
Christopher James
Turkey is friend
Jordan is meh
Saudis are scum
Egypt is ok
Zachary Gomez
Jordan
They're small and can't do much, but they're bro-tier.
>Turkroaches allies Supports ISIS, their secret service tried to arm them with truckloads of weapons. Threatens to flood Europe with rapefugees, if they don't get gibsmedats. >Saudis allies greatest exporter of radical islamic terrorism, wahabism, worldwide. 18/20 terrorists of 9/11 were Saudis, like bin Laden. T-t-they are our friends.
You really could make a great Neocon, Ameritard.
Mason Walker
Depends on what you define as an ally. Some of our European """""allies""""" steal our technology, readily sell advanced weapon systems to countries who are on the verge of fighting us and talk down at us condescendingly.
Could have been Iran sixty years ago up til today.
Julian Williams
Egypt, Lebanon, and Israel
Those are the only ones that matter anyway.
Iran gets a pass too.
Bentley Phillips
israel is basically an american state with a jewish majority turkey would keep its alliance with america but you keep destabilizing the middle east further and supporting separatist terrorists in our country so the turkish people hate america iran might be a future ally of turkey by extension america and the western world but they need a regime change egypt seems to be building some relations with the west
every other country is a meme country in the middle east and do not matter
if america wanted friends in the middle-east it would have taken very different steps. you don't really have any "friends" here but you have allies and before you start with the kurdish memes, they are your allies because you give them money and bomb their enemies
Asher Richardson
No. Kill them all.
Evan Jenkins
Jordan retired senpai
Wyatt Campbell
I imagine you would know, considering you are Turkish.
Never said I like them, but they give us money, therefore they are our allies. Which is what capitalism all about, Ahmed.
Julian Fisher
Kurds.
Alexander Reyes
Most of you American posters sound like that. Why is that? Too much estrogen in your water?
Also >money is all that matters
Yep. You are a Neocon.
Xavier Phillips
Jordan is chill, and are our friends. Lebanon, sort of too.
Logan Hill
The Suez canal part alone probably makes your answer the correct one, but I've seen a lot of widespread admiration among my co-workers, family, and acquaintances for the Kurds, who are generally viewed as valiant.
Jordan too.
Wyatt Foster
The elites of pretty much all of them are our allies.
The general population in most of them are too unsophisticated to understand why it is in their best interest geopolitically to have partnership with and security guarantees from USA.
James Collins
Yep
Daniel Rivera
>he does it for free
enjoy your rapefugees, meanwhile I'll be watching baseball, drinking brew in my beautiful, vast majority white neighborhood, holding my legal ar-15. Why can't you europoors into freedom and capitalism?
Nathaniel Barnes
Why do you try to get us into conflicts with Russia, though? If America and Russia team up, we don't need the faggot Europeans as much and we won't care what you could potentially do to them if you became strong again. Also you're dicks to the Kurds and Ivans, who are actually fighting terrorists.
Easton Turner
Before israel merica don't have enemys in middle east...
We let you establish a base in our water Soooooooo.
Noah King
Its not the people, its the regimes. Iran was our friend. Ive watched videos of when we started their nuclear program for them. They had female Iranian politicians touring the facilities- wearing colorful flower print sundresses, high heals and showing their calves. After asshola komeini gained power, they started teaching "death to Americans" in school. Its not the people, its those in powder.
Camden Cook
Jordan before Obama betrayed it Lebanon before the west betrayed it in the 50s (Both can still be recovered)
Oman is pretty neat, Bahrain is ok.
Egypt and Syria may even get their shit together, but it's unlikely
All others should be either considered as enemies of all humanity (like the Turks and the Saudi, at their worst) or at least be considered oppressive rogue autocratic states.
Angel Hall
>Italy >Egypt
Charles Nguyen
The craziest thing is that Saudi Arabia is not an ally of ours even nominally. They're a client and any politician who calls them an ally is doing it because they are sucking up to their boss. It sickens me that the media lets them get away with it.
John Reyes
How can Lebanon be recovered?
Isaiah Reed
what does it matter? the us government doesnt care about you so why should you care if it has 'allies'
Isaiah Martinez
Gas the sunni jews Gas all the politicians
Liam Scott
no. no allies. we really shouldn't be wasting our resources in the region.
Justin Richardson
I love you, usa
Mason Watson
Turkey was the most strategic ally of US during Cold War. We was your foothold in Middle East, Caucasia and Balkans. When free world won cold war, Turkey became less important. Even though we are still best friends (aside of Israel of course) Son of bitch Erdoğan has no idea wtf is he doing and he started to make US really angry.
Benjamin Sanchez
No, it's the people. A government doesn't stay in power 40 years unless it has popular support.
Kayden Butler
>wanting to be involved in foreign entanglements
Washington would be ashamed
Jonathan Rodriguez
What's the status on Oman? They don't really seem to get invoked with anything.
Carter Roberts
