Do you know how many American bases are in Saudi Arabia?
I do. It’s not a matter of quantity of bases. It’s a matter of a friendship relationship, versus just a working relationship, and the amount of access and cooperation that each gives.
Are you aware of how much work and cooperation the CIA and the Mossad do together, and the access to the region through Israeli that the CIA has, to maintain access to oil rich fields in the region? No, you don’t, and neither do I, which is my point.
You’re not going to hand wave away Israeli infrastructure cooperation with the US.
