That is still not the point. The point we were making with Billow (on which you agree) is that giving support to a country (no matter how influential) is not the same thing as ordering it around.

ex: US gives support to Israel but does not order it around.
ex: Iraq and Iran give support to Palestine but do not order it around. There would still be Palestinian resistance to Israel if Iraq and Iran mysteriously vanished from earth tomorrow.
