On wait-and-see – Zvi Bar'el in Haaretz:

‘Scanning through detailed New York Times reports on Trump's decision-making process – and the internal disputes among White House officials, influencers and media personalities close to his ears and heart – gives the impression that Trump has become embroiled in a war he didn't intend to start, dragged in by Israel's initiative.
He appears to be waiting to see how events unfold, instructing his people and forming policy on the fly as the situation develops. So far, there is no indication that the administration is moving toward presenting a consensual and well-formed plan, both regarding the demands to be made of Iran and about the day after the war ends.
Israel may conclude from this that it can continue to dictate the pace of the war and define its objectives, just like it has done in Gaza, where Trump also adopted a wait-and-see approach. Whenever he did exert pressure or demand changes, these related to tactical moves – such as allowing humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip – rather than ending the war.’

MAGA is wait-and-see, and some (nasty) spectacle at home? Apparently it is.
Authoritarianism can also be wait-and-see.

A war can start as wait-and-see, or drag on as wait-and-see?

Waiting for Trump to tell Israel: stop.
