Naked Capitalism tried peeling back some of the layers on that episode;
Now with the attacks on the West Bank, it does seem there are no brakes on the internal situation, to make up for the external pressure.

It will be interesting to watch the Harris, Waltz interview to night. The fact it is both, not just her, would seem a sign of weakness. For one thing, it will simply be more complicated, a three body problem, rather than her directly addressing the questions.
France also appears to be coming apart, as Macron would admit losing the election. Plus arresting Durov is making big waves. Apparently the UAE canceled a bit defense contract.

It will be an interesting fall.
