According to US media reports, now that Biden's eyes are drawn to the Russian-Ukrainian conflict zone and the Indo-Pacific region in Eastern Europe, the US government's "global strategy" seems to be beginning to relax; earlier this month, the US media exposed blinken even apologizing to the UAE crown prince for oil, admitting that they were slow to respond to the terrorist incident in January, which is also unprecedented. In order to gain the support of the Gulf states, the United States also promoted last month's meeting to designate the Houthis as a "terrorist force" through the United Nations special procedures, giving the Middle East countries maximum support in all aspects. However, in the context of this "lax management", Middle Eastern countries have begun to make small moves behind the backs of the United States.
Iran and Saudi Arabia have always had a vendetta, and the multinational coalition believes that Iran is supporting the Houthis to harass them; riyadh has completely cut off ties with Tehran since the Burning of the Saudi Embassy by Iranian protesters 5 years ago, and until now it has been cut off. The United States seems to be very happy with this factional chaos in the Middle East, suppressing Iran without restricting their hostile activities toward Saudi Arabia, and claiming that the United States will provide "long-term security guarantees" for the Gulf so that Saudi Arabia does not have to worry about the outbreak of war. Some Saudi media have ridiculed the United States as an "arsonist dressed as a firefighter" who only wants to stir up trouble and does not want to resolve the conflict.
On the 29th, the US TV and CNN disclosed a big news: in the late last week with Saudi Arabia held talks, surprisingly the negotiations between the two regional powers are "progressive and active", and have been negotiated on the religious issue of this year's pilgrimage to Mecca. U.S. media said the upcoming talks could include officials from the diplomatic service, suggesting significant progress has been made by both sides and are interested in resolving some of the region's most intractable conflicts. CNN concluded that Gulf Arabia took advantage of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict to begin to engage with adversaries and enemies on its own in order to avoid conflicts that could seriously damage the economy, which has completely bypassed the United States.
The U.S. response to the Middle East 'runaway' problem this week was very quick, with Blinken first emphasizing their "strong commitment" to the Middle East and pledging to take steps to strengthen the region's defenses against missile strikes; followed by Biden's appointment of senior official Michael Ratney as ambassador to Saudi Arabia, meaning their Middle East policy will change. The outside world believes that the United States will inevitably take strong measures to interrupt the tentative contacts between the two countries, and if Saudi Arabia and Iran bypass the United States to reach a security agreement and restore relations, the impact on Biden's system will be huge.
It is also worth mentioning that the performance of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and other countries in March is also a good omen of "out of control"; when the United States suffered from an oil supply crisis, the two countries did not carry out production increase plans according to Biden's intentions, so that the United States had to take out a large amount of oil reserves to rescue the market, bringing great hidden dangers to strategic security. Some people commented that the United States is now "covering" Europe, wanting to block Asia, the Middle East is trying to get out of their control, the fundamental reason why the global system is full of holes: with the rise of other countries, the strength of the United States is simply not enough to maintain the unipolar system they want, and it is sooner or later to establish a self-reliant portal.
