Scattered points, but somehow interlinked:

When did the #UnitedStates start paying attention to the Middle East? Or let me ask in a different formulation, when did the United States realize the intrinsic nature and value of the #MiddleEast? /1
If you ask this question to people, some of them will answer directly that it started after the #GulfWar in 1991 and others will be answered that it started after #WorldWarII. Both answers are wrong. The history of #American interest in this region is ancient and dates back /2
to the 18th century. 3/3
Every year after the end of the #ColdWar, a book was published discussing the theory of the extinction of #America or the inevitable end of "American hegemony", and the constant paradox in those books is that they do not hide the ideological obsession of their theoreticians. /1
But it seems that even those who wished for the American collapse, did not view the issue in its comprehensive and objective form because it contradicts the facts. 2/2
[Geopolitical upheaval = exacerbation of logistical disturbances = a deceleration in #economic growth].
At one point, senior American #politicians saw the creation of #geopolitical upheavals in the Middle East and re-engineering it demographically as beneficial to /1
U.S. interests. As for at this point, those same politicians see that paving the way for the stability of an economic bloc whose main pillars exist in the #Gulf states is an imperative to restore the comfortable economic advantage that has shrunk in the past two decades in /2
favor of China. 3/3
To say that Biden will return to the nuclear deal with #Iran again is a false fiction. Rather, it is just a wish that is being promoted by #Iranian-backed media, and it will be nothing more than a strenuous pursuit of a mirage. 1/1
Those who sought to undermine the #Saudi model that stood at the height of the "creative chaos" without cracking, are now rushing to radically reformulate their visions to accommodate the risks and challenges that somehow reverberated upon them. 1/1
Although I do not possess convincing evidence, I believe that the return of #Qatar to its natural environment is the result of a US- #British settlement. 1/1
"One of the marvels of destiny is that it chooses #SaudiArabia for the second time to be a lifeline for the US #economy, which although it is not in a recession crisis, it is not growing." An endnote that will not appeal to the haters. 1/1
