So the US escalation against the Houthis as well as against Iran didn't materialize over night by the looks of it. I'd say this is good news despite everything, if we currently are at a point where intervention is too costly that will hopefully continue until and and after midterms.

Do you guys think the US november election will have much of an impact? I personally think the theories of "Trump is showing restraint because of midterms, after those he will escalate again" seems counter to how he would operate.

    I don’t know but personally I’ll be watching to see how far the Trump regime is willing to go with interfering in the election. We’ve already seen significant intervention from the billionaire class with their traditional avenue of massive donations and influence operations. The next question will be do we see new channels open up and how far do they go. Sufficiently open and provocative interventions would open new possibilities for US based organizers and could materially impact the war.
