‘Gate of Tears’ could be a strait too far for Trump’s military

Ruth Pines Feldman:The United States has currently assembled a significant military presence in the Middle East, creating a massive regional ‘armada’ that provides the flexibility to address multiple threats at once.

Such a move would inevitably divert critical military and diplomatic attention away from primary goals, contradicting the clear American preference to stabilise the region and drive toward a decisive conclusion of the military campaign.

Even so, the US would still want to build a “broad coalition, including Nato forces to join the effort: This is not because the US lacks the military capacity to handle it alone, but rather to send a powerful message of a united front against enemy forces.
