Two malign actors in the ME working together is bad period. In this case one of the leaders is a crook and the other a mass murderer. Has nothing tdo with the Orange Bozo.  Hopefully we can somewhat normalize relations with Iran (a natural ally) under a abiden admin.  We need a counterweight in the area.

Yep, the $3.8 billion the US spent supporting Israel's military last year and $8 billion in loan guarantees might be in jeopardy.  Some might think Biden will cut that budget to support domestic programs such as helping the recovery from the virus.  Israel and Saudi Arabia must have their tanks and guns though.  

However, it is almost certain that Biden is as bought and paid for by the Israeli lobby as he is by the Saudi lobby, as Trump was.

israel has profited greatly under trump .. more land grabs, more us help

saudis want the f35 and few other weapons .. trump promised them these against the advice of state officials ( read experts on what this would do to the local political scene  )

they will go and nod heads and smile together .. no problem at all doing that for trump / kushner

anyone thinking it will make any lasting or meaningful difference to political relationships in the middle east is beyond dreaming

Most likely the US is selling a bunch more F-35's to the Saudis and Netanyahu just wants to cooperate on maintenance, expensive fuckers that they are.  He won't be worried because there is an agreement that if the US sells weapons to any other ME country, Israel automatically gets more of the same weapons to maintain superiority, all on the US taxpayer's dime.  No wonder you can't afford M4A.

I suspect you are right.  Does that mean that those same 99% of Americans are unaware of price tag (2019: $3.8B + $8B loan guarantees) for the aid given to Israel's military every year?  Meanwhile, Israelis enjoy medicare for all (a 3% employment tax covers it) and post-secondary education is virtually free in Israel, while American families struggle to pay the extreme cost of post-secondary education in the USA.  YCMTSU.

Scoop: Israeli military prepares for possibility Trump will strike Iran

Source: Axios

The Israel Defense Forces have in recent weeks been instructed to prepare for the possibility that the U.S. will conduct a military strike against Iran before President Trump leaves office, senior Israeli officials tell me. 

The Israeli government instructed the IDF to undertake the preparations not because of any intelligence or assessment that Trump will order such a strike, but because senior Israeli officials anticipate “a very sensitive period” ahead of Biden's inauguration on Jan. 20. 

The IDF's preparedness measures relate to possible Iranian retaliation against Israel directly or through Iranian proxies in Syria, Gaza and Lebanon, the Israeli officials said. 

*snip* 

While Pompeo was in the Gulf, U.S. Central Command announced that B-52 strategic bombers conducted a “short-notice, long-range mission into the Middle East to deter aggression and reassure U.S. partners and allies." That was seen as another signal to Iran.
