“ESPECIALLY a foreign government dependent soley upon the US for their survival.”

If we were dependent solely upon the US for our survival, we’d have been dead in 1948. The US was supplying spare parts to Jordan’s air force in 1967. At that time, our air force was comprised chiefly of Mirage jets that we had developed in partnership with France. After 1968, LBJ figured we were a useful ally, because we had made monkeys of the Soviets, who were backing Egypt and Syria. We get some good kit from the US, and we help the US develop even better kit, including high-tech tweaks to top-of-the-line fighter jets, whenever we purchase them. It’s still a mutually beneficial relationship, as it was, starting in 1968. With Obama, that relationship became more adversarial, then Trump came in, and we were friends again, and with the Biden administration, America’s part has been feckless, and just as reluctant as it had been under Obama.

“Dependent solely upon the US for our survival”? Hardly. For that, we turn to a Higher Power.

Stop rehashing every perceived slight you've ever suffered and put your future where your mouth is, tough guy. --- Insist! the US leave you completely and irrevocably alone.
