RE: What Trump is doing in the Middle East

Turkey would be swatted aside. Their armor is ancient and their air force if it came near Israel would be destroyed easily by our short range interceptors. If shooting down Hamas rockets and Houti missiles is commonplace, slow moving fighter jets are trivial.
Besides driving armor through Syria without air cover will not happen.

I don't doubt that, but that wasn't my point.
I also think this would be highly unlikely scenario.
A land invasion is not going to happen.
A Great Power can invade places, embargo ports... bully nations, basically.
I just picked Turkey as a nation, that is pretty closeby and there is no way, Israel could dominate them like (another random example) Great Britain could fuck with India, and China. Or how the Sowjets bullied the nations around them.
I think am not moving the goalpost here...
My point was about being a Great Power (in ascencion).
I play a lot of Victoria...
Your are confusing the term Great Power with Superpower or global empire (British Empire).
A Great Power is a nation that dominates its neighbourhood.
