I don't think OP grasps the concept of having allies, to be honest.
are Israel our allies and if so why are we allied to facism
Because America is also fascist
what many people dont understand is that foreign policy isn't about morals, it's about power. capitalism too isn't about capital, its about power. that's why the capitalist class' interests often aligns with interests of fascists. when money stops securing power, the capitalists will try to maintain it by any means necessary
Based on South Vietnam, Korea, Francoist Spain, and every South American dictator willing to kill commies for trying to end slavery in their countries?
Tradition.
But, hey, at least we got S Korea kinda right. Eventually. After couping them too.
