    Not too sure on that, US has many ways to force cease fires as good as starting coups.

    I think if we had a president and congress that wanted it done, it would be done.

      if we had a president and congress that wanted it done, Israel wouldn’t have felt comfortable doing it in the first place, really. I’m just saying at this point, I don’t think there’s a lot we can do. and as for starting a coup… that has never worked out well for the US.

      Considering how well those coups worked out, I’d really like for that sad chapter of US history to stay history, as much as I despise Bibi’s reactionary government.

        Well, IMO the coups did what was required, same in latin america.

        It stopped the political party that was going to rule and chaos would ensue.

        Due to party plans of interfering with US corporations and allies.

          They did meet short term goals but the long term blowback is indicative that it’s not worth it from a cold strategic perspective even when not factoring in the ideological hypocrisy

            Oh, okay.

            I think I understand a bit of what you are saying.

            Thanks!
