SUBTLE YET MEANINGFUL SHIFTS IN STRATEGY .....


Let's all make sure we agree that politics are not engraved in stones , never have been . But primarily, geostrategic and economic interests prevail , and in some limited cases the clear will to expand its territories on  neighboring people and countries .

The U.S. military adventures in the last century , and more so the last few decades have had their toll on American civilian  psych . Whereby direct involvement of young American soldiers is less popular and not Divinely providential any more. Consequently some shifting in tactics and strategies are forming, influencing American behavior in international conflicts . The right to dominate though, will always be a strong pillar of U.S. foreign policy and strategic planning .

The U.S. according to N. Chomsky qualifies as the terrorist superpower, immune to law and civilized norms . Unfortunately or not, it has been the norms internationally as well, superpowers, small regional powers as it is for all U.S. allies to enjoy the same privileges under the tacit protection of the U.S, Israel is by far the most common beneficiary and abuser of these policies . Lately, Saudi Arabia has been taking full advantage as well. Looking at future Iranian hegemonic policies towards the whole area , the U.S. is starting to look differently at its own interests and long terms goals . A U.S. slow and silent shift that is starting seriously to worry and upset Israeli and Saudi leaderships and policy makers.

The Theocratic and clerical regime in Iran, is surely a regrettable and deplorable anomaly to the Iranian people, as any theocracy would be anywhere . But it is totally naive to believe that Iran's internal repressions are much of a concern to any great power , especially the U.S., America and Americans love winners and strength , Iran is showing these traits and is gaining in their geopolitical policies, Russia and America are and will be competing for dominance as super power over regional smaller powers trying to take over .

In fact , the U.S. throughout its history , and more so after WW2 , has been working hard at becoming the rogue superpower, eliminating many competitors along the way . We are lately hearing more voices demanding that many smaller players start taking matters in their own hands , dealing with troublesome neighbors by their own forces , Israel, Saudi, Iraq, Iran and Turkey are only a few to name, and always under the auspices of the U.S. and its exclusive entitlement to resort to "Unilateral use of military power" , it is a cleaner and better way for the U.S. insuring a stronger and more efficient footage in world geopolitics .

The new geopolitical shift and newer strategic goals of 21st century U.S.A. will focus more on remaking and redefining its allies and alliances, manage the risks created by their existences, and acts. Taking greater burdens of their own policies and adventures, and relying less on American military direct interventions by American boots on the ground, and relying on U.S. armaments and strategic coverage .

The nuclear agreement between the world's 5+Germany , led practically by the U.S. with Iran, outraged many parties and individuals, in America and elsewhere . It is leading to the creation , with the tacit approval of the U.S. , to an American sponsored alliance between Israel and the Sunni official States, though not their populations yet. It is showing the world that no permanent position stands in politics.

The U.S. is helping to create a new two fronts, two powerful fronts, in the heart of the Middle-East, with America at its pivoting center, A major shift to many traditional and uncontested alliances , Saudi,Israel,Egypt, the Arab Golf and Turkey, all on one side, vis-a-vis Iran, parts of Iraq and Syria, little Lebanon or parts of it, and possibly a small Kurd enclave as well, all backed by Russia, would form the other opposing side and camp. Monitored by the U.S , it's  a win win situation for the U.S. foreign policies and its superpower dominance.

In conclusion , one has to admit and allude to the  many disagreements between politicians and centers of power within the administration itself and with other strong entities in the U.S., an almost open conflict of interests and ideologies between the White House and the State department on one side and the Pentagon on the other is leading to bizare actions on the ground, and the different lobbying powers of many interested groups and congress , are all still in play, the next president and congress will be pivotal and crucial in making it the policy of the future for America and the world .

My usual many thanks for all your time and patience and help spreading the blog .
