50 POINTS!!!!!!! please write in your own words.. Name at least three allies of the United States today. How do you think the Un
ited States would support these allies in times of war? What about in times of peace? How do you think they should support the United States in times of war or times of peace?
Israel The United States has supported Israel in past wars, such as the 1973 war with a coalition of Arab States. It cost the USA something to give that support, as the Arab oil-producing states placed an oil embargo on the United States. The US values Israel as an ally in the Middle East, but also seeks to caution Israel against provoking war with a major state like Iran, against whom the US really does not want to get dragged into war.
South Korea The United States has a large military presence in South Korea, seeking to assure its security vs. the communist regime in North Korea. If indeed North Korea were to attack the South, the US would support its democratic ally. But lately there have been overtures between North and South Korea, seeking to work out a more peaceful relationship, and the US is participating in that process.
The United Kingdom The United States and the United Kingdom (the British) have been allies for a long time and enjoy a "special relationship," as Winston Churchill termed it. As allies they have helped one another in the war on terror in the Middle East. They also routinely share intelligence that each nation gathers, in the interests of their mutual security. Sharing of intelligence reports is something allies will do in peacetime as well as during active war.
