While the world okoloneftyanaya public aspirated discusses the failure of the conference on the freezing of oil in Doha, accusing the Saudi Arabia, few people paid attention to another event in the lead role which made all the same tireless Riyadh.
The other day in The New York Times published an article about as the Foreign Minister of Saudi Arabia, Adel al-Dzhubeyr Washington declared US president and members of Congress that Riyadh is ready to begin the sale of its existing US assets worth about $ 750 billion. According to the minister, this will happen if the US Congress to pass a law condemning the Saudi government of involvement in the terrorist attacks September 11, 2001.
As noted by The New York Times, Congress will vote for this proposal, despite the rejection of his by the outgoing president, Barack Obama. Congressmen are set very seriously, despite the fact that both houses of the US Parliament is no longer controlled by the Democratic Party. All this means that the chances of the bill passing through Congress are large enough.
At first glance, such actions of Washington in relation to the main Middle East ally seem quite illogical. It is well known that the US is always financial, military and political support to the Saudi ruling dynasty, as if walking is not just a legend. Against this background, such a serious demarche against Riyadh looks rather strange. It seems that the Saudis surprised by the US decision and are prepared to oppose him in all possible ways, including the sale of US assets.
pretty clear Meanwhile, Washington’s claims to Riyadh, moreover, it is surprising that so seriously they were made only now, not a year or two earlier.
United States seems to have finally tired of the overuse of the Saudi sheikhs Islamism and the financing of terrorist groups around the world. And if until recently they happily turn a blind eye, but now it has come to an end. The second, no less, the claim is in the defeat of Saudi-American oil shale energy, unable to withstand a price war with low-cost in the production of Arab oil.
With all that Riyadh is increasingly claim to be the leader of the entire Middle East region and it can not help but annoy Washington. It is no secret that the United States today are increasingly focusing on the Middle East, methodically reshaping the region according to their interests.
On this background it is not surprising that with the arrival of the new president of the United States may try to change the overstayers and did not meet expectations the leader of the Middle East -. Saudi Arabia
have tried to bet in this region on Iraq and Saddam Hussein in the past the US. That rate is not justified, then what is bad is over and the Iraqi dictator and his people
And today there is not any guarantee that the same path is sent, and the other at fault former US ally. – Saudi Arabia. Presumptuous Riyadh has all chances to get what he got to Iraq and Afghanistan. States in the Middle East need a reliable outpost and not detached from the mode of life, playful in the Islamic Games. Riyadh, meanwhile, is actively preparing the ground for an alliance with Turkey. And, if this union will take place, the Middle East will be lost to the West completely
These aspirations of Saudis also explains why Washington has suddenly decided to exempt from sanctions the other important potential leader in the region -. Iran
Thus, the more obvious it becomes that the United States is slowly but surely “drained” of its former governor of the Middle East -. Saudi Arabia to hand over control of east Iran.
It seems to be understood, and in Riyadh, stating the sale of US assets. However, if the leader of the process of change has begun, stop it already nobody can.
