Thesis "chirp first and then take a questions later" it is not a sound foundation based upon a successful policy, especially in the Middle East. In a barrage of statements by President "Donald Trump" recently attributed to the same credit for the decision taken by a group of America's partners (are Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates) to cut off their relations with another partner is Qatar. This decision involves the risk of deepening disagreement to some extent the possibility of undermining the efforts of the battle against the "Daesh".
Resolution also highlights the fragility of the alliance , which boasted the Middle East by Trump, describing it as a key achievement is important in his first trip outside the United States.
States that we have mentioned have a difference of opinion with Qatar because of good relations with Iran and the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas. Qatar is considered itself a bridge extending to these three regardless of the drawbacks of their behavior from the amount, because they are known to exist and will not Azulua day is inevitable to deal with them, whilst the Saudis and Emiratis and Egyptians Qatar , a patron of extremists Arphihm with money and political support and put in the service of the most powerful trumpet media is Al - Jazeera television network.
Also it raises the wrath of these three to see Qatar, Almstqoah the amazing resources of natural gas, imposes itself on the affairs of the region and exult welcomed the Arab Spring.
Washington did not Tnhz to any of the two sides on the other side account so far, although they are trying to silence the pressure on Qatar to make the financing of extremist groups stopped. So that Qatar hosts on its territory , the most important air base of the United States in the Middle East , which is the base of many in which about 11 thousand people from the coalition that the US - led against the "Daesh" elements exist, and most of them Americans, and coalition aircraft that take off from this rule is leading the air campaign to defeat "Daesh" in Iraq and Syria. Trump also described Qatar during his speech in Saudi Arabia last May as a "strategic partner is indispensable." But the unconditional support given by US President during his visit to the Saudis themselves seemed to encourage them not to cut off their relations only in Qatar but to impose an economic blockade it as well. Then came Ngredath on Twitter where credit for himself regarding these moves to leave the country at a loss of their
heads.
Quickly Hab Minister of Defense , "James Mattis , " Foreign Minister "Rex Tillerson" to the White House to clarify the extent of the risks involved in this situation, then it seemed as if Trump could reverse if it presses the Saudi and Qatari leaders to address their differences directly , stressing the importance of the united front in The battle against the "Daesh". It seemed the US diplomatic drive her watch as if out at full capacity as best as is, but the Trump returned fired a new salvo at a press conference with Romanian President early in the month of June , accusing Qatar of financing terrorism "from the highest levels," as he put it , and thus gave piece of metal gears between the deaf machine which is at the height of his diplomacy inception. If you do not see in all this what make you dizzy Think about this: Trump administration says it wants to create a military alliance between the Arab states led by Saudi Arabia to fight terrorism "Daesh". This seemed as if Trump is trying frangible alliance , which was created by the back, which was described as a "NATO Arab", before even that is formed.
If the alliance had already succeeded in forming perhaps it will return the results of the large, because the administration calamity in the Arab claim to assume greater share of responsibility for the fight against "Daesh", and even further afield to take over the battle to save their security. However, a series of contradictions inherent in the core of this alliance proposed almost ensure that it remains a mirage.
First , that what he sees as an alliance against extremism Trump is in the eyes of the Saudi Sunni alliance aims to reverse the wave on Iran, this has the potential to drag the United States in the future into a sectarian conflict between Sunnis and Shiites. Moreover the Wahhabi sect ultra-reservation promoted by Saudi Arabia, causing rejection and intolerance everywhere in the world, no less a threat to Western interests , which is described to support Iran 's extremism and interventions of regional and expansionist tendency.
An alliance of anti-Shiite disguised as a security alliance will not be followed by a Middle Eastern only pouring oil on the flames of sectarianism to result in more terrorism , not less. Instead , aligned along without the side of the conflict must put pressure on Washington , Riyadh and Tehran together to stop feeding the reasons for the expansion
and continue.
Second, if not our alliances in Europe and Asia , a defensive character , in essence , our partners, the Arabs may take advantage of our alliance with them against the "Daesh" to move to the attack and thereby dragging the United States into a new adventure with them undesirable consequences in the Middle East. The first evidence of this is the campaign waged by Riyadh in Yemen against the Houthis, who are considered by following the Iran, with all effect involves
reverse.
I am the first high - level US official meets Polly Prince of Riyadh active Prince Mohammed bin Salman after the Saudi intervention in Yemen in 2015 and prepared on acouophone pledged the United States to defend Saudi Arabia against the Houthi aggression and help them to put pressure on the rebels to return to the negotiating table. Then I asked him about the goal sought by Saudi Arabia in Yemen if it answer me: "Another erase the impact of the Iranian influence there." Two years after the fall of the countless numbers of civilian casualties , the Saudis are still on their demand while Washington is torn between continued support for its ally and participate in chaos the confusion that created a power vacuum crept to him "Daesh" and al - Qaeda Fmloth.
Third, if Trump expects the alliance to the Middle East highlights pressure on the Arabs in order to exert more effort and they seriously intend to exploit their part to deepen the involvement of the United States militarily in the Middle East , while not contributing to their part , but a little. Trump feeling frustrated by European allies prodigals NATO Fades and dwindling in front of what awaits him in the Middle East. The members of the cooperative and mutual formation, called the Gulf Cooperation Council, grouping them the recipe to move away from risk and consequences of panic and divide the word with regard to priority. So I find them extremely ready to spend on arms but exclude them to use it effectively against
"Daesh".
Finally , that NATO is more than just an alliance of common interests, because in the alliance between the core shared values. Trump seemed more in line amid the atmosphere of the Middle Eastern autocracies than central European democracies, but are subject to volatility and divergence of interests while remaining values do not change, and the absence of values will prove "NATO Arab" It is not only Lugoff project. * About the New York Times * Anthony Pellnkn is the managing director of the Center "between Biden diplomacy and international Taattiyat" and was deputy foreign minister in the administration of President Obama and writer contributor to opinion articles.
