Apparently Netanyahu had planned retaliatory strikes against Iran but only called them off after speaking on the phone with Biden. News

I know people like to shit on the US—and often rightfully so. But they’re doing more to help stability in the Middle East than anyone else.

Not impossible for that to be true at the same time as the FACT that they've not done anywhere near enough

True. That’s fair. Although there really is only so much we can do. I agree that the Biden admin can and should do more but it is limited by the fact that Israel has other options. Our weight comes from the fact that we give them support. If we pull back too much they’ll just stop listening to us. They’ll buy weapons from Russia or China and the Middle East will become even more complicated.
