US Military Power in West Asia, Has Consistently Failed to Achieve its Own Set Goals. Is the US Now Trying a Different Approach of State Influence Instead?

Military backed, forced overthrow of state governments in the Middle East, has never worked out well for US plans. Their military strength and prowess, now that the bluff has been called, was never going to be capable of holding solidly such infamy for long, once hero nations of the global majority strengthened their own military forces by advancing technologically, unitedly, and with purpose while America slept – dreaming of its own greatness and invulnerability. The result being, and no strong lenses are required to now see it, that few if any US forces will soon remain in place within that long-suffering region of the world, creating vacancies and openings for much better alternatives to enter, unharrassed by US military presence.

Of course the US sly dogs will not so easily relinquish whatever slight advantage they have held, though their own ability to satisfy potential West Asian customer nations with acceptable alternative offers, is difficult to imagine. It does appear, however, that new US plans are being unfolded and this is discussed in the New Eastern Outlook article linked below. A couple of brief quotes will help define the situation…

Washington’s military presence in the Middle East has repeatedly produced an obligation to manage problems that American power cannot ultimately solve.

Washington is effectively moving away from a model in which it compensates for weak states by empowering sub-state actors. It is betting on the states instead.

I don’t want to add anything to that. The article is quite explicit, and understandable. I just hope the people who need to know about this will have long ago taken the potential repercussions of such moves into account when forming their own forward planning.

I guess that hope is likely already assured within the careful planning for a better world order now in progress within the countries of the Global Majority. Which should be entirely more enticing than anything the currently collapsing world order of the west, with its overarching dark aura of debt and depravity, can possibly hope to offer in the coming months and years.
