The mass media state that the United States reduces its military
presence in Europe as it increases its military presence in the Near
East and China directions. In addition, the Near East direction is not
clear, the Near East itself or the Near East as a target. Everything
is clear with China. The global issue of the U.S. is the geopolitical
blockade of China which aims to limit its regional expansion,
including Beijing's economic and geopolitical aspirations.
Large-scale programs are devoted to China in the Pacific Ocean,
Southeast Asia, Central and South Asia. However, the thesis that the
U.S. troops move from Europe is not real because the tendencies in
this sphere reflect the U.S. policy of limiting its presence in this
region. The United States has resolved the main regional issue. It is
not even a matter of finalizing the outcome of Iraq which will perform
its main function to balance the situation of energy in the world,
supplying the `great' oil to the world market.
The main issue is the geopolitical occupation of the Arab world. The
Arab states, except Syria, have obviously become convinced that their
only guarantor and strategic ally is the United States which is able
to protect their national and pan-Arab interests. In addition, the
United States is not interested in strengthening its military presence
in the region where it did not set up a single new military base in
the past decade. The United States has not bidden on its reliable
partners, Saudi and the Arab states of the Persian gulf which are
saturated with weapons so that are unable to `absorb' any more.
The stereotypes of social behavior in these countries will hardly
allow creating effective armed forces. However, they can
counterbalance Iran and some Arab states to some extent with the help
of the United States. The Northern bloc will be set up similarly to
create a counterbalance and hindrance to Turkey. It is not clear yet
which states of the East will participate in it. However, the United
States immediately limits its military presence in the region. In the
context of solution of Israel's problems it is suggested to integrate
Israel with the Arab world and agree to some compromise regarding the
issue of Palestine.
Shifting responsibility and defense and security costs on the U.S.
partners and allies is a general tendency, and the Near East is not an
exception. No doubt it will lead to the escalation of the regional
confrontation, the efforts of Turkey and Iran to pursue their
aspirations rather than boost stability and security. By the example
of the relations with Turkey the United States showed how they shaped
their `conditional contractual' and `relative partnership' relations
when Turkey has to make big concessions to the United States to retain
its right to pursue its own interests. The United States would like to
apply this model to Iran.
However, in this case not only limitations are suggested but also
partnership with Iran which will take place one way or another. Hence,
the United States tries to use a general model of double restriction,
considering the ambitious states of Turkey and Iran which act as a
greater rival and threat to the Arab states than Israel. And what is
tough about it? Toughness means regulation of global resources and
limitation, including of the U.S. resources.
Here is the Near East matrix. In the light of this strategy, it is
necessary to view the future of the South Caucasus where the United
States has confirmed its priorities, trying to push away Russia,
Turkey and Iran which is considered as an old but forgotten strategy.
The United States has been able to persuade Turkey that neo-Ottomanism
is a new deep misperception and tries to re-orient Turkey toward good
and old Panturkism and direct it towards Central Asia where it has no
guarantees for success because this region has already been absorbed
by China.
In addition, re-orientation suggests certain geopolitical
`scattering', in other words, enter Central Asia but with your
guarantees while the South Caucasus is not your area, forget about it,
forget about your brothers and foes. However, this would be doubtful
if we do not take into account that the government in Washington must
go to the Republicans in a certain form. The United States bids
farewell to good Messiah policy and adopts the bad Messiah policy. It
cannot go on like this.
