    tbh I wish at least one president would try intimidation by using all that free defense aid as some major leverage.

    Of course that would never happen because presidents take good care of their respective lobbyists, even if its abundantly clear they will be losing the next election.

      George Bush (the elder) did put an arms embargo against Isreal.

      Clinton attacked him for it during the 1992 election.
