      That’s only a subsection of our obligations. Two paragraphs up are what I was actually talking about. We have multiple bilateral defense agreements with them which essentially boils down to an attack on me must me treated as an attack on you.

        Ok. I see multiple treaties there.

        So as the person making the claim that we have to send them weapons, I am going to ask you to find exactly where it says we must help them.

        You made the claim, you should be able to post why instead of just a link to every treaty we have going right now.

          The ways to remedy a bilateral defense agreement depending on the actual agreement (I’m having trouble finding any of the us-isreal ones… So I’m just making assumptions here) usually boil down to supplying military aid or providing military defense.

          Essentially the us must deploy supplies or a defense force. I’ll keep digging for the actual text of one of these treaties but it might take a bit because the US state departments site is actually just really badly organized.
