Chicago is latest U.S. city to approve such a non-binding resolution, following Atlanta, Detroit and San Francisco in recent months.

    So, are we the world police or not? I’m getting mixed signals here.

    Do you want us involved in middle eastern conflicts or do you want us to stfu and stay out of it?

    There’s no world where our demands are accepted at their word.

      Are you not aware that we have been heavily involved with this conflict for a very long time?

        Really? Name some.

        If you reply ‘economic sanctions’ as if that has ever functioned at all in the way anyone actually intended for their use, you vastly require educating in this topic.

          It’s not my fault you don’t understand the entire range of diplomatic options in the range from “sitting silently” to “ground invasion”. However, I would refer you to any country with a diplomatic department of any kind, which is all of them. They can probably instruct you on some of the options available.
