America’s troubled economy in the shadow of the crisis in the Middle East

According to Webangah News quoted by Mehr News, according to Al-Nahar newspaper, American military technologies are fighting on behalf of the Zionist regime. And this country widely supports this regime. For the Arabs, patience may be a virtue, but this is not always true, especially when it comes to American support for Tel Aviv.

Even for the Americans themselves, this issue is worrying from another angle; Because ordinary American citizens are afraid of their country being caught in a “long-term war”. They have had this experience in the global war against terrorism, from the mountains of Afghanistan to the plains of Iraq. The financial burden of the war prompted former US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld to describe the track’s failures as a “quagmire”!

economic issue

The basic assumptions of Americans have been questioned at every stage of wars; According to Brown University’s periodic update of the Costs of War Project, in addition to the thousands of American soldiers killed and wounded, they have spent about five trillion dollars on the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

They worry that a new war in the Middle East will lead to global economic and political crises, especially as the economy America is in serious trouble, and the economic paper will play a decisive role in the results of the next presidential election in November. At the same time, America has new divisions regarding its place in the world.

In Washington today, opposition to the tax hike has risen sharply, worried about its negative effects on the economy and growth. are employment.

Taxes for the government are like alcohol for addicts; As Ronald Reagan said, “Government is the problem, not the solution.” Therefore, if a war occurs, the Americans prefer to end it quickly and decisively; Whether it is in the Middle East or elsewhere.

They muster massive military power to quickly and with minimal casualties in any regional conflict in the Middle East. The same logic is currently being used in the Zionist regime. However, it is difficult to convince the American nation to make long-term sacrifices to win wars.

bullshit

In this regard, Professor Andrew J. In an article in “Foreign Affairs” magazine, Basiouch, professor of international relations at Boston University, warns that Washington is moving towards “long-term wars” and will first deceive American citizens and then the rest of the world, especially the Middle East.

He explains that World War II was a memory of superiority for most Americans; They think that just as Washington defeated Germany and Japan in World War II and then contained the Soviet threat during the Cold War and guaranteed freedom, it is necessary for America to lead the world with military power.

Basiouch exposes this idea like this; He believes that this is a type of “brainwashing” for Americans and the world.

He refers to the “Vietnam War” that shattered these illusions, as well as the corruption of American adventures – under The post-9/11 “Global War on Terror” has exposed America’s claim of military superiority as a hoax.

Basiouch adds that the disappointing results of the war in Afghanistan and Iraq were supposed to be a warning to America, as it was to Britain happened in Egypt, when Egypt under the leadership of Gamal Abdel Nasser forced Britain to withdraw from the Suez Canal in 1956 and British military efforts to retake the canal were thwarted, this disaster humiliated Britain.

bad news

This message is “bad news” for US foreign policy circles and they are advised to avoid entering Avoid wars, especially getting involved in a long war in the Middle East to support the Zionist regime; And instead, financial resources should be used to improve the country’s economy.

If the situation gets out of control and the Zionist regime and Iran enter into a regional war, other countries may are also drawn to it by force or by their own will, there is a risk that America will fall into a crisis.

At the same time, many Americans – according to polls – want to improve the quality of health, educational, recreational services and infrastructures.

They are against a long war in the Middle East or other parts of the world and ask why instead of spending money on wars Middle East, American schools and roads are not repaired in Colorado or California?

It also confirms the growing dissatisfaction of Americans with financing and arming Ukraine in its war with Russia. Especially since public service budgets have been heavily scrutinized in the US budget and debt ceiling negotiations. Getting into foreign wars, even because of the Zionist regime, is not in line with America’s national interests.

The real surprise, according to Bacievich, is that the last two decades may have been the long-running “Suez moment.” It is for America, but the American institutions, after the defeat in Iraq and the longest war in American history in Afghanistan have been erased from their memory, deny this fact and claim that the world still needs more military power of the United States.

No one is sleeping peacefully in the Middle East right now. What is happening in the region, from the wars over the Arab lands that are watered with their blood, is a black spot in the history of mankind. It is as if all the sufferings accumulated in this region over time have erupted at once. It seems that power and domination are still the determinants of rights in any period.
