RE: What Trump is doing in the Middle East

Israel fields the most powerful military between the US and Russia & India. No European power or ME power is anywhere close.
Agree. Maybe not in every stat, but they also have a lot of veterans and general experience.
Now to go somewhere and invade a place is a whole different matter.
At the height of the British Empire in 1805 when Nelson won the Battle of Trafalgar, the UK had only 11M people and lower effective fertility than Israel today.
Yeah but GB had vassals, the ANZAC troops, the Gurkhas...
They had boots on the ground.
Israel dominates the airspace, no doubt.
And also the whole intelligence spy stuff.
At least in Victoria and Civ and such, that can only get you so far...
...anyways, I don't want to drag this out.
Your piece seems pretty pragmatic and applies to what's actually going on, while all I was commenting on was the great Power thing, because I play strategy games a lot :)
