How many would defend us if we were attacked?
Canada and Mexico are our border nations so they’re obvious. Israel is an obvious choice for mideast security reasons.
This administration’s foreign policy makes me doubt the US would defend the US.

You took the words right out of my mouth! I was goingto type the same thing. BTW, after all these movements, etc I don’t think this communist administration gives a crap....they will bully and pass through whatever they want! However, keep the pressure on!
I do not really want to know. I expect it to be a very low number.
What would poll numbers be if Saudia Arabia were attacked????
Which Countries Would US Defend ? : TEXAS !!!
We wouldn’t defend anyone. Israel’s on its own. We’re letting Russia move back into Eastern Europe. Taiwan is hanging out there, to become a satellite of China. I figure southern Iraq will merge with Iran (same sect), and we will pull out of Afganistan, letting it and Pakistan fall under Islamist extremism.
They forgot Poland or Australia, bet those would be high also.
This administration wouldn’t even defend the US if we were attacked!
Honduras is not on the list.
I would bet only about 70% of Americans would defend America if attacked, and unfortunately for us, that 30% is in control of the White House.
Certainly Israel. They would be our brothers in arms, if we would let them. They often are by way of intelligence assets. Their unique position as God’s people and God’s land nearly obligate us by our Judeo-Christian heritage.
Certainly England and all of her offspring, without a doubt. They have all been our brothers in arms, in nearly every one of our endeavors, and are historically very close to us in concept.
Any others are of less importance, albeit there may be strategic value to consider.
