@ullshit artist. Britain doesn’t give any foreign aid to Israel. The U.S aid is all military aid. The U.S gets a good return on this aid, via research and development of weapons systems. You think U.S security stops at the Pacific and Atlantic coasts. To ensure it doesn’t you have alliances. In return for providing aid or security guarantees/umbrellas to those allies the U.S gets bases, ports, overflight rights. A whole lot of stuff that for now keeps the U.S insulated from war at home.

Priti Patel discussed giving British foreign aid money to Israeli army, Downing Street confirms

We helped fund Iron Dome. Yet no "return" for our funding.

US Army scraps $1b. Iron Dome project, after Israel refuses to provide key codes

Peaceful republics, those who don't meddle in the affairs of foreign nations, don't need overseas bases or alliances. It's sufficient to protect our borders.

Only empires need bases and alliances.

If the far weaker Switzerland can remain neutral, without overseas bases and military alliances, a nuclear U.S. can certainly pursue that model.
