The UAE and the Saudis pledge $8,000,000,000 in aid to Egypt!

How much are we giving, again?

Dammit! I thought we were number one.... Actually, I applaud them taking up the slack. We don't need a theocracy running the Suez Canal and hemming in Israel any more than they already are.

I just heard they're going through with the remaining 4 F-16's of a 12 plane deal, 8 of which were received before the latest blow-up.

Israel cannot be hemmed in. Israel is the only nuclear power in the region.....nuclear everything.....submarine also.

As a matter of fact Israel is expanding.

It is an illusion Israel creates so it can continue to benefit from American largesse.
At the same time it is one of largest exporters of arms and military expertise.

In every major encounter with its neighbors it wins handily. And it has maintain a big qualitative difference with them.
