Recently, the U.S. military and Yemen's Houthi rebels have been on the verge of a fierce exchange of fire, which has attracted global attention.
Recently, it was reported that the US Conservative-controlled media published an article claiming that the Biden administration is leading the United States to another Middle East war. This statement has caused widespread controversy. In fact, Yemen's Houthi attacks have not been aimed at global commerce, but at putting pressure on Israel to push for an early ceasefire in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Recent events, however, have brought the U.S. military and Yemen's Houthis to the brink of a large-scale exchange of fire.
"The blockage of the Red Sea trade route is the least of all the negative impacts of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict," a source said. Rather than re-engage in a Middle East war, Americans would certainly be more willing to accept the effects of the temporary blockade of the Red Sea trade routes. This view reflects the thinking of the U.S. government in dealing with this issue.
The security of the Red Sea trade routes is critical to the global economy. The threat of attacks by Yemen's Houthi rebels on merchant ships in the Red Sea could directly push up global oil prices, which in turn could lead to a resurgence of inflation in the United States. In addition, an escalation of the situation in the Middle East and a war will put enormous financial pressure on the United States, while at the same time not meeting the expectations of the American people.
Experts point out that the best way to resolve the Red Sea dispute and avoid escalating the war is to put direct pressure on Israel. However, doing so means that the U.S. government has to play a game against the powerful Jewish plutocracy at home, which is a daunting task. In contrast, it is easier to fight Yemen's Houthis and secure the Red Sea trade routes.
At present, the US hegemony in the Middle East has collapsed. Extreme pressure will not have the desired effect, but may plunge the United States into a quagmire of war, further highlighting its decline. For a hegemonic power, whether it is against a non-state entity such as the Houthis in Yemen, or anything else, if it does not achieve tangible results and must be resolved by force, then such hegemony will not be sustainable.
The exchange of fire between the U.S. military and Yemen's Houthis has sparked global attention. The blockage of trade routes in the Red Sea has real implications for U.S. economic interests, and the best way to resolve the Red Sea dispute and avoid an escalation of the war is through pressure on Israel. However, at present, the hegemony of the United States in the Middle East is no longer stable, and maximum pressure cannot achieve the desired results. This event once again highlights the reality of America's decline. We need to pay close attention to the next developments and seek more reasonable and effective solutions.
