Why is the United States urging restraint from Israel in its conflict with Hezbollah?

Israel is doing the world a favor by destroying groups that would gladly attack the States just as badly as they attacked Israel on October 7th.

More often than not, it’s probably preferable if they just let Israel make decisions for itself. It’d be better for everyone.

I’m wondering about attachment and transference with the therapist and the idea of escape and fantasy? How much do you think your strong feelings, constant thoughts, desires to be with your therapist are a way to escape from your present life? I wonder if the transference serves another purpose than to show us our wounds and/or past experiences, but is a present coping strategy for managing what we don’t want to face (even if unconsciously) in the present—-current relationships, life circumstances, etc. Can anyone relate to this concept of escape in relation to their therapy relationship? How does this play out for you?

In the Middle East, strength is valued and respected more than restraint.

There are many things about Middle Eastern politics Americans tend to not understand.

Everyone else in the world wants to crush their enemies just as much as the US does.

Because that’s what it does.

The likelihood of creating peace in the region is minuscule, and there probably far easier and more likely paths to carve out your legacy as a world leader.
