They're definitely an ally. We sell them a shitload of weapons, and they're otherwise a major trading partner (and we've got thousands of American citizens living and working over there). Perhaps they're an ally of convenience because we hate Iran, but they're still an ally.

For better or worse, have plenty of allies who trade with Russia, Iran, North Korea and Venezuela.

I don’t see a country as an ally just because we trade with them. That would make Syria and Iran allies.

I guess I don’t define a purely transactional relationship as an ally.

But yeah, tough on Adam.

thanks for weighing in but the state department has considered them an ally for over 70 years. But you are welcome to define it however you want for your own enjoyment:
