Tony just doesn't have the muscle anymore, having lost Chris, Ralphie, Vito and especially Furio, for various reasons.

Yeah, good point. Carmine is an idiot most of the time (think back to this episode when he told Tony that he was trying to mend an "alteration" between him and Phil LOL), but I think he could end up being the difference maker regarding whether Jersey wins or loses.
Either Carmine was honestly trying to set up a meeting between the two so they could work things out.... or as you suggested was in on the "attempted" hit, before Phil backed out.
But like you said, for T to come out on top, he needs Carmine's NY side to help. Not unlikely considering Phil seems to be a general pain in the ass to almost everyone not immediately tight with him. Also, remember that Tony was the one who helped Carmine when his dad died to get power vs. Johnny Sac.
Man, Chase throws so many little things in all of his episodes that you see and think to yourself, "What's that supposed to mean?" Like in yesterday's episode, that shot of Sil reading that book, "How to clean practically everything"... is that 'cause Sil is gonna eventually be the one to fix this whole mess? Sil didn't look too impressed when T was going off about his peyote high in Vegas.
