Title of Paper (The American Flag) 

 

Introductory Paragraph: (1) The United States and Israel have maintained a strong intelligence relationship going back to the 1950’s, starting in 1956 with a secret speech of Nikita Khrushchev obtained by the Mossad and then found its way to the New York Times. This helped the Western populous become aware of the crimes happening in the Soviet Union and delegitimize the Soviets.  Thesis Statement: The intelligence provided by Israel from the Cold War through the war on terrorism has been vital to the defense of our nation; this paper will talk about how intelligence from Israel has helped the United States during the Cold War, the war on terrorism and increased our overall capabilities to combat enemy military equipment.

Body (Problem (Defined))/ Discussion to relate the point of view from sources used/the writer takes a position) The United States depends on Israel for much of its Middle Eastern intelligence since they are engaged with forces and equipment in that region.

Supporting Idea 3: What are the capabilities of Soviet combat vehicles?

Conclusion (This is a level 1 header) 

 Reiteration of Thesis required solution/s/ question The United States has benefited from Israeli intelligence from the 1950’s to modern day that has helped increase the United States overall capabilities and doctrine of Russia. The increased lethality and defense of our own equipment we have made are in direct correlation with the knowledge we have gained from captured equipment and engagements by the Israelis. The question would have to be, would the United States be where we are now in regards to equipment to counteract the Russian equipment without shared intelligence from Israel? The answer to that would probably be an astounding no. We would have the equipment, but probably not survivable enough for Russian aircraft, missiles and radar, and combat vehicles.
