The threat of a widespread conflict in the Middle East has shifted attention from Ukraine. Western fatigue with the war in Ukraine is real, “and increasingly so,” the foreign minister of Finland told the Financial Times recently.
I guess we have our answer to who has more patience. Though I expected this. Russia’s political system allows more long term planning and commitments. In liberal democracies policies can change abruptly depending on who wins the election.

To me it seems Ukraine should have been a strategic priority for the US and not Israel, if it weren’t for AIPAC influence, or is controlling the Eastern Mediterranean a priority for the US regardless?
Thank you.
