The world is changing rapidly, and even the US military is not having a good time in the Middle East. Recently, the United Arab Emirates suddenly gave the US military a "no send" and asked their fighter units to quickly find another place to stay.
After all, the presence of the US military in the Middle East is more conspicuous than an oasis in the desert.
Let's talk about the background first, the US military is in the Middle East, which has a "long" history. Back then, American GIs chased the Taliban in the ravines and ravines of Afghanistan, and it took 20 years to chase them, spending an astronomical amount - one trillion dollars!
How many hamburgers can you buy with this money, it's painful to think about. As a result, the Taliban is still the same Taliban, but the US military can only withdraw in disgrace.
Speaking of Iraq and Syria, US warplanes fly in the sky every day, striking one and another, but what is the result? The opponents are not only not intimidated, but are fighting more and more energetically, which in turn has caused a lot of trouble for the US military and its allies.
No, the UAE can't sit still now, fearing that it has become a "casualty" of the actions of the US military.
When it comes to the UAE, it's a smart country. They watched every move of the US military in the Middle East, and the little abacus in their hearts crackled.
The UAE thought to himself: "Your US military has deployed fighter planes in my house, saying that it is to protect me, but why do I feel that I am becoming more and more unsafe?" Therefore, it is easy to ask God and send God, so that the US fighter unit can find another way out.
As soon as this happened, it was really enough to embarrass the United States. Do you think that the allies of the United States in the Middle East originally expected the US military to support them, but now it is good, and the US military itself has become a "plague god".
No, the Gulf countries are all starting to drum in their hearts: Is the protection of the US military reliable?
Moreover, the US policy in the Middle East is really puzzling. For example, on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the United States has been wholeheartedly supporting Israel and completely ignoring the feelings of Arab countries.
This can break the hearts of Arab countries very much. Coupled with the escalating conflict between the U.S. military and Iranian proxies, the Gulf countries are even more on pins and needles.
Let's give you a few examples. For example, the Houthis, these gangs are becoming more and more arrogant in the Red Sea, not only fighting merchant ships, but even American and British warships.
The same is true of anti-American forces in Iraq and Syria, where attacks on US military sites have recently become more frequent. In this matter, the US military itself has to admit that the situation is a bit tricky.
The UAE here, in fact, also has its own little ninety-nine. As they watched the actions of the US military in the Middle East, the sense of distrust in their hearts grew stronger and stronger.
Emirati officials have said that the U.S. military has been slow to respond to the terrorist attacks in the UAE, so how can the UAE rest assured?
Now, the U.S. strategy in the Middle East seems to be becoming more and more inadequate. They want to reassert their dominance in the Middle East by supporting Israel, but this matter now seems to be hanging in the balance.
The conflict between the U.S. military and Iranian proxies has caused allies in the Middle East to have their trust in the United States plummeted.
Speaking of which, we have to mention the military spending of the United States. The U.S. military spending is frighteningly high, with a defense budget of $886 billion in fiscal year 2024.
But as a result, most of this money went into the pockets of arms dealers, but the actual performance of the US military was not flattering.
