Struggle in Soviet Russia

On the issue of nationalism in the Arab world, Americans are indeed more positive now. They are even deliberately promoting this sentiment and supporting the colonial countries of the Arab world in their struggle for independence.

Of course, the United States is not an anti-feudal and anti-colonial international fighter, let alone a living Lei Feng. The reason why they actively promote the independence struggle of colonial countries is to build a new international order that is beneficial to them.

As a late-developing capitalist power, when the United States gained a certain position in the capitalist world, the old capitalist countries had basically divided up the world. Therefore, under the circumstances of helplessness, the Americans Began to implement the doctrines of John Adams, declaring that the United States of America is morally opposed to colonialism, and believes that nations should conduct friendly exchanges on the basis of equal partnership and shared responsibility.

Of course, the so-called "morality" of the Americans is actually promoting a brand-new American colonial policy. The "Open Door Policy" they put forward on the China issue is the truest embodiment of this "morality".

In the final analysis, the anti-colonial policy of the Americans is to break the old international order dominated by Britain and France, and build a new international pattern that they have the final say. In the world of Victor’s previous life, this Everything is confirmed.

This world will always be like this. In a certain period of time, the order and pattern of the entire world are formulated by the strongest country at that time, and the strongest country that formulated this order and pattern is the world hegemon. When a new hegemon emerges and begins to challenge the old hegemony, what it needs to do is not to completely defeat the other side militarily, but to smash the international order and pattern it has built, and then follow its own interests and needs, to build a new order and pattern.

Americans support the nationalist movement in the Arab world in the Middle East. The starting point of the policy. And to do this, Americans will naturally have to support from the Arab world.

To a certain extent, Americans are actually playing a role similar to liberators in the post-war Middle East.

However, "acting" is always fake. In their bones, American politicians, the first thing to consider is the public opinion in the United States, the votes in the hands of American citizens, and the rich people who can determine their political future. What do you think? Therefore, when the Jewish Federation pushed the idea of ​​Jewish statehood to Congress and the White House through its lobbying agency, supporting the Jewish state in Palestine became a basic position of the United States.

In the Middle East, the Arab world and the Jewish community are incompatible. For the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine, it is not the United Kingdom, but the entire Arab world that has the strongest opposition to the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine. Jewish settlements are the biggest obstacle to Palestinian national independence. Americans support nationalist movements in the Arab world while supporting Jewish statehood in Palestine. As Victor said, Americans have walked a contradictory path in policy.

Of course, this contradiction has not yet been highlighted, mainly because of the nationalist sentiment in the Arab world. Although it has emerged and has developed to a certain extent, its influence is not large enough. The Muslim Brotherhood founded by Hassan Banner , it has only been active for more than ten years, its scope of activities is limited to Egypt, and its ideas and behavior are not as radical as later generations. As for that kind of more extreme organizations, they have not yet appeared in the Arab world. Woolen cloth.

The most important thing is that although the establishment of the Jewish state in Palestine has been a riot, the matter has not yet been completed. Although there is a lot of opposition in the Arab world, it has not developed to the level of mutual incompatibility. Therefore, Washington may not have felt the problems in its Middle East policy, but one thing is certain is that as long as the Jewish state is successfully established in Palestine, this conflict between the Jews and the Arabs will immediately erupt, which will have a negative impact on the United States. The Middle East policy has far-reaching impact.

In Victor’s previous life, the real change in the Middle East pattern should have occurred during the Second Middle East War, that is, after the so-called “Suez Canal Crisis”. At that time, Britain, France, and Israel jointly invaded Egypt on a large scale, which triggered a large-scale invasion of Egypt throughout the Middle East. strong vibration.

Subsequently, the Soviet government under Khrushchev first sent a note to Israel, threatening Ben Gurion, declaring that if Israel did not end the war, it would be an uncertain question whether Israel could continue to exist as a country, This led to Israel's swift acceptance of the UN's ceasefire agreement with no strings attached.

Later, Moscow sent a note to Britain and France, directly threatening to carry out nuclear strikes against Britain and France, forcing the then British Prime Minister Eden and French Prime Minister Moller to urgently ask Washington for assistance, hoping to obtain nuclear asylum from the United States.

But in this incident, Americans were also dissatisfied with the actions of Britain and France. Although Washington made a verbal promise to the United Kingdom, it sold the British pound aggressively, causing the pound exchange rate to fluctuate and depreciate sharply. When the organization asked for help, it rejected its request for assistance. Eventually, Britain and France were forced to withdraw from Egypt, ending the war.

This incident completely ended the difficult relationship between Britain and France in the Middle East after the war. Although the Americans consolidated their influence in countries such as Israel and Saudi Arabia, they also caused a lot of damage to the younger generation in the Arab world. In the following years, revolutions or coups broke out in various countries in the Middle East, Libya, Iraq, Iran, etc., a series of chain reactions caused a general anti-American tendency in the Middle East, and the Soviet Union took advantage of this occasion to massively. Intervening in Middle East affairs, I am content to step on a foot in this land full of "black gold".

In fact, from the perspective of Victor, the reborn, for the era before his rebirth, everything that happened after the end of World War II did have a profound impact on the future.

Take the conflict between Israel and the Arab world as an example, its impact on the Middle East pattern has almost spanned more than half a century, until the years before Victor's rebirth, the smoke of gunpowder in Palestine has been evaporating; It is precisely because of the blatant nuclear threat from the Soviet Union in the second Middle East war that the two countries have not received firm asylum from the United States, so the two countries have risen up to develop their own nuclear weapons, especially France, which has been leading The European self-determination and self-determination initiative of the United States was actually branded into the bones from this period; finally, the chaos in the Middle East and the general hatred of the United States in the Arab world were also brewing from this period.

Briefly recounting his views on U.S. Middle East policy, Victor said: "My view is that the nationalist movement that is emerging in the Arab region may indeed be catered to by the Americans in the short term, because it is in line with the Americans. But in the long run, what the Americans need to establish is their hegemony in the Middle East, and considering Washington’s close ties with the Jewish Federation and the Zionists, nationalism in the Arab region will eventually Touching American interests in the Middle East."

"So," after a pause, Victor finally concluded, "the Arab national liberation movement supported by the Americans is the kind of national liberation movement that can be controlled by them, but the Arabs' demand is true national independence and national self-determination. , the interests of both sides are fundamentally opposed, and it is impossible for them to really come together anyway."

"I agree with Comrade Viktor Viktorovich," said Comrade Gromyko, who had been silent until now, "the Americans have indeed presented a self-contradictory basis for their Middle East policy. , I believe that, based on the political position occupied by Jews in the United States, any president of the United States, including Truman, cannot ignore the relationship with the Jews. The establishment of the Jewish state in Palestine will inevitably touch the entire Arab world. From this point of view alone, the relationship between Washington and Arab countries cannot be without barriers.”

Intensifying his tone, Comrade Gromyko finally said, "This is where we can make use of it."

Comrade Stalin nodded in approval.

"My opinion is that in order to further catalyze the contradiction between Americans and Arabs, our foreign intelligence agencies should strengthen ideological output in Arab countries," Victor continued, "We hope to see The situation is that the nationalist movement in the Arab world, combined with the communist ideology, we should support not only the anti-imperialist and anti-colonial struggles of the Arabs, but also their anti-feudal and anti-exploitation struggles. As long as we can put our work together If it is in place, then the American view of nationalism in the Arab world will further change, and thus, to a greater extent, will lead to contradictions between it and the Arab countries.”

"Again," added Victor after thinking for a while, "we should think about the whole of the Mediterranean, and perhaps push for an alliance of Mediterranean nations to link Europe with North Africa, given the size of our European presence. The establishment of this alliance should be able to exert influence and create more favorable conditions for us in the Middle East and North Africa.”
