I think if she forced him into a corner with this, we'd have seen more blow back for her. There'd be a lot more of "credible" people on TV arguing against her position, many dramatic op-eds being written about this, she'd be getting calls from people within the party, etc. Anything is possible when it comes to stuff that's happening behind closed doors/involves dynamics we aren't necessarily aware of, but I think it's generally really hard to pull off crossing POTUS/the leader of your own party when it comes to something so serious and involves military resources. The US not only provided the jets but also moved ships. Ultimately IDK but I think he most likely approved of this trip. I'm most curious if it's just a Cold War 2.0 game or if there's something to the timing.
