US will never be able to pivot away from either Israel or Europe. They will say that they want to but when the push comes to shove, they will go right back in.

Overextension leads to eventual defeat.Every time US tries to pivot to contain China, the Middle East quagmire beckons. Courtesy of Israel, where the tail wags the dog.
