“The makers of these policies, past and future, are still present in the center of decision making. They have decided to further invest in their failed experiments, modifying their tactics by setting out a new U.S. approach to the region, which has already been set in motion. In practical terms this will lead to elevated U.S. dominance by immersing the region in decades-long wars …”
The new U.S. approach is based on the following set of rules:
- Unleash natural contradictions, religious, national, ethnic and sectarian
- Incite divisions and separation without any regard to the borders delineated by the countries that emerged victorious from WWI, and even to the countries that emerged as victors of the Cold War
- Don’t strain U.S. diplomacy by focusing on problems that cannot be resolved and offer superficial solutions
- Create a balance of power that ensures a continuous state of war, provided that such wars remain within limits and don’t spread or threaten the that balance
- Play down the subject of spreading democracy in the region, because that threatens the stability of allied countries. Since each and every election will be in favor of the trending religious authorities, Muslim or Christian. The election results invariably confirm that the main and dominant affiliation is religious rather than national
- Replace market control of the oil industry with military control to prevent powers like China and Russia from gaining greater control over oil resources
- Fill the U.S. military void in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Gulf, with an invisible American presence protected by long-term agreements with governments and close ties with local militaries in these countries, which keeps both armies and central governments enfeebled
- Maintain permanent military strike forces in central Asia, Turkey, and Europe, sufficiently strong to strike any enemy or adversary, or “quasi-friend” jeopardizing the “natural” balance of power
- Following its invasion of Baghdad, having recognized the immense moral and diplomatic price it paid with its disregard for international law, Washington was obliged to beg the United Nations to give it cover. Accordingly, Washington will, through fraud and misinformation, use international law to achieve its purposes. If that proves impossible, it will resort to unilateral economic, diplomatic, legal, and technological sanctions
- Depend on the cover by acting under the umbrella of international forces, and when that isn’t feasible, resort to the use of NATO acting under an international mandate, as was the case in Afghanistan.
