What are results of Saudi bets on US spell in Yemen war?

SANAA, Jan. 07 (YPA) – In a unipolar world, the United States does not hesitate to try to get everyone to adopt American views and pressure every country be subject to submission.

In an analysis made by Yemen Press Agency affirmed that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia represents a clear example of American hegemony over countries that lack sovereignty and independence of decision-making.

Saudi Arabia did not have any vision for its war on Yemen, or for the internal situation in the Kingdom, for the result was the collapse of the Saudi war strategy in its first months of the war on Yemen, before it witnessed more failure later on.

It was clear, through a quick review of events, that the Americans were not honest advisors to their ally, Saudi Arabia, as the Americans allowed the Saudis to declare war on Yemen from Washington on March 26, 2015. Without Washington providing any advice to Saudi Arabia regarding the dangers of war on a country of its neighbors and the costly consequences of this kind of wars.

The Saudis believed that American support was a guarantee of achieving victory, and the Saudi political and military experience believed that the use of American influence represented a spell sufficient to bring victory and achieve goals.

Saudi Arabia bet on the support of Washington, while the US was planning to benefit from the war without giving Saudi interests any regard for the dangers that the Kingdom would be exposed to as a result of the war. The Americans had worked cunningly to keep the bandage around the eyes of the “dairy cow”, in reference to Saudi Arabia, so that the cow would not realize where it was being led. However, Washington did not skimp on the Saudis with everything to ensure that Riyadh would be able to continue the war for the straight eighth year, not out of love for the Saudis, but to ensure the continuation of the implementation of the American agenda to control the Bab al-Mandab Strait and the islands of Yemen in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea, with the goal of stifling the expansion of China’s commercial empire, which may overthrow the hegemony of the United States in the global economy.

It seems that the disappointing results that Saudi Arabia reaped from the Yemen war are, in fact, a natural outgrowth of Saudi naive perceptions of war and politics.

Today, Riyadh is waging war on fronts that not taken into its account, during which the closest partner in the Saudi-led coalition, represented in the UAE, has turned into an opponent does not show any sympathy for the setbacks suffered by the coalition, while the unilateral agendas of Abu Dhabi and the Muslim Brotherhood in Yemen have become a heavy burden on the shoulders of Saudi Arabia, after Riyadh has become the only party that pays the price for the risks of the war in Yemen, especially since the years of war have made the Kingdom seem more like a party requiring alliances of any kind, even if it is at the expense of the prestige and dignity of the Kingdom.

While Washington extended its hand to Riyadh’s opponent, represented by the Brotherhood, through the conference that the United States is preparing for with the Yemen’s Muslim Brotherhood, the day after tomorrow in Washington, which aroused Riyadh’s ire and made it appear marginalized after the Saudis believed that the Kingdom could not be bypassed in any way. A decision pertaining to Yemen, but the exigencies of American politics do not care much about the embarrassment that the “tools” that may be exposed to, especially in light of the new arrangements that Washington is making in the Hadramout province, and it seems that the Yemeni Brotherhood is the most appropriate person to meet the American directions, as Hadramawt’s independence” had been the first to launch a call for by the Brotherhood for the past two months, in addition to the fact that the Saudi ambition to annex Hadramout is not commensurate with the American tendencies seeking to impose a “new Middle East”, which aims to divide Saudi Arabia itself and not to annex new areas of the Kingdom.

During the past three months, Saudi journalists and speakers began throwing stones at all sides, expressing the view of the palace mired in a sea of confusion, after Riyadh realized that the price of saving the kingdom from the Yemen war requires getting rid of the burden of a heavy coalition that does not care about what Saudi Arabia is exposed to strokes and losses, and some do not rule out that the positions taken by Riyadh with the decision to reduce oil production against American wishes are part of Riyadh’s response to the betrayal it was subjected to by the rest of the allies, a position that Washington absorbed without taking it seriously, within the framework of allowing Riyadh by venting its anger without affecting the Saudi commitment to implementing American strategies in the region.
