Since the end of the 1970s, the Middle East strategy has been based on the four pillars of Israel, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Egypt.
The success of the United States in the Middle East, at least to a certain extent due to close cooperation with one of the above or more countries: the Egyptian-Israel Peace Treaty in 1979; the containment of the Iranian Islamic Revolution; defeating the Soviet Union in Afghanistan, and in recent yearsThe terrorists who defeat Al-Qaeda and the so-called Islamic State.
However, today, 40 years later, some of the retreats of the United States and the rise in nationalism and Sandianism in the Middle East, which led to the fate of the weaker neighboring countries in the use of violence abroad.Today, as Russia's influence continues to increase, the United States has basically become an unlucky observer.Although Donald Trump has established close personal relationships with the leaders of these countries, these countries have exhausted their considerable goodwill reserves in the United States.
Only Israel maintains real support, but the country's rough treatment of the Palestinian people on the occupied land and the increasingly tsarist political tendencies have weakened their position in the United States, especially within the Democratic Party and Jewish communities.Other autocratic countries are quickly losing friends, whether in public opinion or government circle.
It is remarkable that former President Barak Bull; Both Barack Obama and Trump believe that US solutions are not suitable for complex issues in the Middle East.For different reasons, the two presidents regard the tricky Middle East as the proud cemetery of the United States.In Obama's eyes, the region is full of drivers, and its leaders should bear more responsibilities for the unique problems of the region.Trump is extremely disgusted with the financial burden of the United States for the region. He hopes that the U.S. military will withdraw from South Asia and the Middle East and let a world he can never understand to solve his problems.Both accepted the dominant position of Russia's crushed countries such as Syria and Libya. Both were entangled in Iran, but they were very different.Obama regarded the nuclear agreement reached with Iran as his greatest achievement in 2015; Trump was happy to tear the agreement.
Nowadays, Turkey and Israel are fighting against various organizations in Syria, sometimes it seems to be a melee, the purpose is to reshape a country with all unreasonable faces.The Trump administration gave them sufficient guts, so that Turkey dares to shatter the political ambitions of the Kurds in Syria and other regions, so that Israel dares to annex a large part of the West Bank of Jordan, and will occupy permanent conquest.
In recent years, Turkey's pre -territory Mdash; mdash; from neighboring Syria and Iraq to MDASH; mdash; sent troops; Turkey hopes to establish permanent military existence in Libya to protect the country's past in the past to protectEconomic investment and get new investment projects.Recent
When Obama asked the Gulf country to take more responsibilities for his security needs, he did not expect that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bull; Bull; Mohammed Bin Salman would treat his appeal as a green light,Let Saudi Arabia launch a brutal air strike for his enemy Houthi.The world ’s richest Arab country fry the richest Arab country to bomb the poorest Arab country into a desolate place like the moon, and both the Obama and the Trump administration provide major logistical support.Tens of thousands of civilians (including many children) were killed or disabled by the Allied forces led by Saudi Arabia. At the same time, the Hassas armed forces armed by Iranian forces made explosions in Yemen and Saudi Cities.
Which road should the next US administrative authorities go?First, it should end the special relationship with these four out of control.
Türkiye is no longer an ally because it is equipped with Russian weapons.It is about to become an opponent of the United States.Israel continues to enjoy the generous financial support of the United States and almost no reservation political support, but scoffs the status and interests of the United States.In Egypt, the United States supports the most compressed Cairo regime since the Egyptian Revolution in 1952.As the price of oil prices is at a low level and US energy output exceeds Saudi Arabia, the US government should end its recognition of this opaque kingdom, and the latter is ruled by a young prince with persecution of literati.
The United States should stop relying on these four fragile pillars.US policy makers should open a new road in the Middle East, which is different from the George Bull; Wbull; George W BUSH (George W BUSH) unrealistic and interferemist freedom agenda (has been hitting the wall in Iraq), and it is also different from the irresponsible later.The retreat has fragmented from Banga West to Bab Al-Mandeb.
