Chapter 910: The Principle of Sending Troops (Two More Requests for a Reward Monthly Pass)
Saudi Arabia sent troops to Yemen, why did it make a fuss in the end, but there was no really strong ally to help?
In fact, the reason is very simple, the world's five major hooligans plus the European Union, none of them hope that Yemen will appear ****.
At that time, the situation in Yemen had not yet broken out into a civil war, and the fight against the Houthis was only a unilateral demand of Saudi Arabia.
The first country Saudi Arabia looked for was naturally the United States, but since ****** came to power, it has never taken the initiative to launch any war with foreign countries, not to mention that the United States also has too many reasons not to help Saudi Arabia fight the Houthis.
However, Saudi Arabia offered the favor of the oil war, and the United States could not refuse, and in the end it only promised the Saudi side to provide some battlefield intelligence and help Saudi Arabia with the logistics of the war, and the United States could not help the rest of the things.
The Saudis were not too disappointed with such an outcome, because they also knew very well that it was impossible for the United States to enter the war.
After all, the United States does not fight Syria, let alone send troops to Yemen.
In fact, when the issue of chemical weapons in Syria arose, a year before the Syrian chemical weapons incident, ****** said that if the Syrian government army dared to use chemical weapons, it would be a red line for the United States.
As long as Syria touches the red line, then the United States will inevitably send troops, this is absolute.
As a result, a year later, the problem of chemical weapons really arose in Syria.
When this incident officially appeared, the whole United States took full action, and the American media began to create public opinion in a big way. Propaganda of the evils of the Assad regime, military preparations, preparations for the use of force against Syria are also fully prepared.
The whole process of advocacy and action. It will take about a week, and at that time, almost the entire United States and the whole world can feel that the United States is really going to send troops.
On the eve of the official dispatch of troops, the last White House meeting where ****** was required to finally sign the order to send troops, ****** made a super abrupt announcement that he would renounce the use of force against the Syrian government.
Everyone in the entire White House meeting at that time was stunned. But that's how ****** was announced, albeit with a certain dissatisfaction from all, but in fact. That's it.
The U.S. military, which is far away in the Middle East and the Mediterranean, was prepared to start air strikes against Syrian government forces as soon as the presidential order was officially signed, but all of them were directly canceled.
A military operation that had been prepared for a week ended so abruptly. And the whole Middle East at that time. The whole family was waiting for the United States to send troops.
Even the Saudi ambassador to the United States sent a message to Saudi Salman, saying that everyone could rest assured that the United States would 100% use force against Syria, so that everyone was optimistic.
As for why ****** suddenly gave up the use of force against Syria at such a juncture, the outside world does not know much. But Cai Ruichen knows it very well.
In order to appease the US government officials, ****** simply submitted the plan to use force against Syria to Congress. Let Congress decide whether to use force or not.
As a result, the plan to use force against Syria is undoubtedly in the trash can directly by the US Congress.
At this moment, ****** has something to say, Congress represents the will of the people, and if the public opinion does not allow the US government to use force, then it will not use force.
This statement made the United States and its allies in the Middle East super speechless.
The whole world knows that there is a war-weary mood in the United States, and the entire Congress has always opposed foreign wars.
During the Bush administration, the Bush Jr. took advantage of the September 11 incident to directly bypass the authority of Congress.
Since then, it has long been not up to the US Congress to decide whether or not the United States will decide to use force against foreign countries.
And ****** resubmit the plan for foreign military action to the Congress, to put it bluntly, by using the public opinion of the Congress to calm the dissatisfaction of the top level of the government, and also to some extent save its own image.
However, basically everyone understands that in the current United States, unless a country takes the initiative to attack the United States, any resolution on foreign military action submitted to the Congress will be thrown into the trash as soon as possible, and there is no need to even take it out for real discussion.
Because the U.S. Congress also has a bitter can't say that the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have caused huge consumption of U.S. finances and national strength, and the foreign wars of Ranhe have become presidential decisions and signatures, and there is no need to pass through Congress.
However, military operations require huge military spending, and it is not a joke that the government and the army exert their muscles vigorously, but it is the Congress that pays the bill.
In such a situation, even if there are people on the doorstep of the United States all day long to show off their military might, it is impossible for Congress to approve the initiative to start a war.
What's more, the Syrian civil war has been going on for several years, and it is a mess, and the government forces under Bashar al-Assad are all elite soldiers who have grown up in the civil war for several years, and they also have heavy weapons and a relatively complete troop system, and there is also the support of Prussia, Beijing and Russia behind them.
If this war comes down and it is another war that cannot be resolved for a long time, then the United States will be stuck in the quagmire of war this time, which makes it impossible for the US Congress to agree to such a resolution, not to mention that the US treasury is not allowed to take the initiative to wage war against foreign countries.
At the same time, the United States also very much does not want Saudi Arabia to send troops to Yemen, but because of the favor owed to the Saudi government, the United States cannot say anything.
With the coming to power of ******, the United States, which has readjusted its national strategy, has decided to completely abandon the use of force in the Middle East.
However, the United States does not say that it will never use force in the Middle East, but there are three things that are the decisive conditions for the United States to inevitably send troops to the Middle East.
The first condition is the issue of Israel, and as long as Israel's national survival is threatened, the United States will inevitably send troops. Otherwise, the United States will not be able to keep even one Israel, so what is the status of the world hegemon?
Of course, this is closely related to the large number of Jewish consortia in the United States, and it is also closely related to the Jewish lobby.
But there is no doubt that if Israel faces an existential crisis, the United States will inevitably send troops.
The second point is the Iranian nuclear issue, if Iran has nuclear weapons and intends to use them to deter other countries, then the United States has nothing to say and will decisively use force against Iran.
The third point is the survival of the Saudi royal family, the United States promised to keep the Saudi royal regime for 10,000 years, as long as the United States exists, it will ensure that the Saudi regime will be in the hands of the Saudi royal family. (To be continued.) )
