    I’m not sure if sending troops into Israel is really the best move politically, as Palestine is not an ally. Nor are they even a member of the UN (it’s a non-member observer state, as I’m sure you know, but others may not). Many of the surrounding countries could consider this a threat. And what do you propose the United States does? Actively attacking Israel would have dire consequences internationally.

      That’s why I never suggested that. Not sure where you got that idea.

      What I said is that he has the power to do it, if he wanted to. To dispel your silly notion that the president can’t even stop weapons shipments, that the most powerful man in the world is somehow just a smol bean who can’t do anything about anything.

        I misinterpreted your comment. My apologies.

        I disagree that the US president is the most powerful person in the world. I don’t think he is a “smol bean” either. I do think Americans often feel they have more influence than they really do.

          Who do you think is more powerful than the commander-in-chief of a military with more funding than the next 9 combined?
