It would be in our interest to let tensions escalate short of war. Realpolitik.

Perhaps. But also, what power do we have to reduce those tensions? I think its low. It's not like these are little countries where we can bribe both sides to put off conflict. These are behemoths with long standing historical antagonism.

Suspend FMS deliveries, IMET activities and MMU. . .and they will be very interested in our ability to grind their military to a halt.
