Murad Sadygzade: In the end, the war exposed a structural miscalculation in American strategy. The US and Israel did not abandon the logic of coercion, but they were forced to recognize that this particular phase of coercion had failed to produce the political result they expected.

Dmitry Trenin: Neither Washington nor Tel Aviv proved capable of imposing their will by force. More broadly, the outlines of a new Eurasian security architecture are becoming visible. Russia, China, Iran – alongside states such as Belarus and North Korea – form the core of this emerging system.
Da Kells: Promoting and bragging about the coercion they claim to not have…. Interesting group I tell ya.
