The Russians led and supplied Israel’s enemies toward the Six Day War, just as they have more recently led and supplied Iran. As for our own U.S.A., the most influential policial folks behind both parties are balking, just as their predecessors did before World War 1 and World War 2. Subsequent moves of commie/fascist foreign enemies are already telegraphed and obvious again.
I see nothing with balking. To the extent that policy was followed, it served us well. Common sense tells us that if there's war it is far better to enter it last after the other powers are bloodied and weakened. Americans need not feel guilty that we are blessed with the geographical separation that allows us a measure of safety the rest of the world has.
The last sentance should read that we have a measure of safety the rest of the world does NOT have.
