I've said since 10/7 that the primary goal in an escalating conflict is to de-escalate it, no matter how it began. When Biden's people came out of the gate with "no red lines" they fucked it completely. (Oh my God they actually said, "We're not drawing red lines for Israel." How could they have said that? Amazing stuff.)
The current line of regularly repeating that Israel should be nicer isn't un-fucking it, and nor is it intended to.
