    Which would not have actually stopped. What was going on. This is what I’m talking about overly simplistic unrealistic reasoning and expectations. I agree that he should not have sent them.

    Part of the problem is, and I agree we should ditch it. That Israel is our most important military foothold in the region. It’s why he feels so obligated to give netanyahu unwarranted diplomacy. And also causing a lot of antagonism in the region.

      Yes. It would have stopped it. Israel wouldn’t last a week without US support. It’s a client state - no different than Saudi Arabia.

      That Israel is our most important military foothold in the region.

      And since when do you require a “foothold in the region?” Do tell… how has a thousand dead Palestinians, Iraqis or Afghans made your life better this week?
