> Giving away intel is the exact opposite of supporting Ukraine.
Nobody has reported that the director of the CIA (who is a Russia hawk by the way) "gave away intel". In fact, all known reporting from credible sources stated that the reason he went was to try and get Putin to see how dumb and hopeless this war is to get Russia back to the negotiating table.
> That said, keeping the Iran conflict warm is now also now a direct interest of everyone else that the USA has threatened, because it locks up your materiel, depletes your munitions, and lowers the morale of your personnel. As the Trump admin has already threatened military force against the USA's allies, that list is rather long.
Well according to you we can't be trusted, &c. so why would we care if munitions for Europe for example were used up?
Your assertion of how the US is behaving doesn't match with your own strategic comments.
> Most of the other stuff you list was the USA's (or Trump's) own interests; Iran was more of an Israeli interest.
If you are familiar with US foreign policy, Iran has been a primary interest for a long time. Calling it an Israeli interest is accurate but it doesn't detract from US policy
