Arab analyst: Biden stepped in Trump’s footsteps / America’s hegemony in the world is coming to an end
According to IRNA, the author and analyst of the Arab world, “Hassan Nafea” today (Sunday) in an analytical article referring to the developments in the world, including the Ukraine crisis, wrote: the beginning of the war in Ukraine and Russia’s decision to use military power against a The united European country of America created a clear and direct challenge to Washington’s dominance over the international system, and it seemed that all the reactions of the Biden government were accompanied by one obsession, and that was to maintain this dominance with all available means; For this purpose, Biden imposed comprehensive sanctions against Russia, which resulted in a significant increase in energy prices and forced him to reconsider the way he interacts with all allied and non-allied energy producing countries. In my opinion, this incident was the most important reason that prompted him to change his stance towards Saudi Arabia and his recent trip to the Middle East.
This author wrote in another part of his analysis: “It is true that the main purpose of Biden’s trip to the region was for Washington to regain its past influence in the Middle East, but considering the prevailing conditions in the region and the world, achieving This goal seemed impossible, because this America was different from the America with which the Arab countries used to interact. To prove this, it is enough to see the way Donald Trump, the former president of the United States was welcomed in 2017, with the welcoming of Biden in his recent trip to Saudi Arabia, and with this comparison it is clear that there is a significant difference between their reception.
Nafea added: “The absence of King Salman, the king of Saudi Arabia, and Mohammed bin Salman, the crown prince of this country, at the welcoming ceremony for Biden at the airport attracted everyone’s attention, while the opposite of this happened to Trump. As far as As far as I know, in the history of Saudi Arabia, there has never been such a weak reception for the American president; this means that most of the ruling governments in Arab countries have come to believe that the American president has to travel to the region this time and this time He is the one who needs the help of the region, not the region to help him.”
“It can be said that the Arabs hoped that there would be little difference between the policies of Biden and Trump, especially regarding the Palestinian issue, but Biden’s visit to the region led them to believe without the slightest doubt that Biden’s current policy regarding the Palestinian issue is the same. It is a policy that Trump had adopted in this regard; therefore, it can be said without a doubt that Biden’s trip to the Middle East is more than an indication of America’s ability to fill the void in the region, according to Biden, it indicates that unilateral domination America is approaching the end of the world system. In my opinion, this is the least lesson that the ruling governments in the Arab countries learned as soon as Biden climbed the steps of the plane to return to his country.”
