Recently, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has escalated again, with Hamas firing rockets into the suburbs of "Jerusalem" and Israel amassing 540,000 troops on the Gaza border, ready to attack.
At the moment, although the direction of the situation is unclear, it can be said that this conflict will not end anytime soon unless Israel feels that its "anger" has subsided.
There is no doubt that this kind of tension is something that many countries do not want to see.
Among them, the most distressing one is the United States.
On October 14, local time, Saudi Arabia officially announced that it would suspend all negotiations on the normalization of relations with Israel.
This also means that the US deployment in the Middle East has completely failed.
As we all know, earlier this year, with the mediation of China, the "reconciliation of the century" between Saudi Arabia and Iran was achieved.
As soon as this news came out, many people were surprised, and at the same time, it also made the United States, which has always regarded Iran as a "thorn in its side," feel a huge crisis.
In response to this crisis, the United States has been trying to emulate China's "feat" in the past few months, so that the contradictions between Saudi Arabia and Israel can also be resolved.
In order to achieve this goal, the United States made a great sacrifice and offered Saudi Arabia a "sky-high reward", so that the latter gradually turned from a resolute refusal to hesitate.
However, the United States never imagined that just when they were only one step away from their goal, an "accident" would occur, and all the efforts of the United States would be in vain.
Therefore, in a sense, Israel is presenting the United States with a "big problem" this time.
So, the question is, what will be the impact of the failure of the "Saudi-Israeli reconciliation" on the United States?
How will this "diplomatic crisis" of the United States evolve?
As Biden's plane landed in Jerusalem, all the answers gradually emerged....
The "Global Strategy" of the United States
Regarding the failure of the "Saudi-Israeli reconciliation," many friends may believe that the biggest impact is that the United States will lose face.
Of course, there is some truth to this view, after all, the United States has always prided itself as a "global leader", but now it is not able to handle even a "small thing", and it is difficult not to doubt its ability.
However, if you are familiar with the US "global strategy" plan, you must know that the impact of this failure on the United States is far more than that.
Even the hegemony that the United States has maintained in the Middle East for decades may be shaken by this.
Since Biden took office in the United States in 2021, it is not difficult to find that his global diplomatic strategy can basically be divided into three plates.
First of all, the first piece is Europe.
In February last year, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine broke out, and judging from various later signs, the United States has definitely made a lot of efforts to "provoke contradictions".
On the surface, what the United States wants most to do in this conflict is to drag Russia down.
To this end, the White House has provided more than $66.2 billion in various types of assistance to Ukraine.
But as a result, we also saw that the strength of Ukraine is not at all an opponent of Russia.
The reason why the two sides have been able to stalemate until now is that on the one hand, Russia has not "made a ruthless hand", and on the other hand, it is also the support of the entire West.
For example, in the current Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the United States has just transferred a sum of aid to Ukraine to Israel, and Russia has immediately launched a "counterattack" over there, making Zelensky constantly "call for help", hoping that the United States will not be "biased".
But then again, while the apparent plan to bring down Russia has largely failed, behind the scenes, the United States has another plan that has paid off.
That is, by means of war, to unite the whole of Europe under the banner of NATO, under the flag of the United States.
You must know that in the past few years, Europe, especially the European Union, has seen a rising wave of awareness of "independence", and Macron has even publicly said: "Europe should not blindly follow the United States." ”
Now, after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, even if everyone knows that Russia has no intention of continuing to move westward, for Europe, the fact is that Russia has "come to the city".
Under such circumstances, despite the reluctance of Europe, it can only remain on the "thief ship" of the United States.
Secondly, the second block is the Asia-Pacific region.
In this sector, the layout of the United States can be said to have officially begun more than ten years ago, when Obama proposed the "Asia-Pacific rebalance".
Now, more than ten years later, under the joint promotion of the three leaders, the US diplomatic strategy in the Asia-Pacific region has become very clear.
That is to disrupt the South China Sea, contain China's development through the Taiwan issue, and "lock" China in the "island chain".
Based on this, whether it is the contradiction between China and the Philippines some time ago, or the conflict between China and India earlier, or even the contradictions between China and Japan and China and South Korea, they are all inseparable from the provocation of the United States.
Although judging by all indications, China is not afraid of the US conspiracy, and the United States is now "unable to maintain this so-called balance", and the successive visits to China by the top White House officials are aimed at easing the situation.
But overall, the U.S. plan has had a negative impact on China.
