Cold, Hot, Just Right

Russia is a good example of too "hot" a soup.

Israel is a good example of too cold a soup.

While the US has just the right temperature to fight insurgents.

Each link is an example of the thesis, of course. With Israel's cutting off funds to Hamas being a noticeable one, given that Israel has been fighting a war with Hamas AND PlO decades before Hamas came into power...

Funding the people who kill your citizens, that is cold.
