American Policy… A Threat to International Peace & Security
The Yemeni people, through the magnificent million-man marches that took place in the capital Sana’a and the governorates, expressed their categorical rejection of any insult or targeting of Islamic sanctities, following the offensive statements made by the criminal Trump, in which he insulted the holiest place on earth, Mecca, and the Muslims’ qibla, the Holy Kaaba.
The mass marches affirmed that any assault on the Holy Kaaba and other Islamic sanctities is a direct attack on the faith of over a billion Muslims worldwide, stressing that the sanctities of the Islamic nation are a red line that cannot be compromised upon, nor can any violation or insult against them be accepted.
The bitter truth is that America under Donald Trump has unequivocally revealed the essence of the policy that has governed its foreign relations for decades—based on subordinating international relations to the logic of narrow American interests, regardless of the interests of allies or the commitments of traditional partnerships.
This has been reflected in the widening gap of disagreements with many friendly and allied countries, reaching the point of declining understanding with NATO member states, raising serious questions about the future of some alliances that have for decades been a fundamental pillar of American influence.
What is certain is that America today faces a noticeable decline in its image and standing on the international stage, making it appear less capable of leading international consensus and more entangled in internal and external crises and disputes.
Peace was never the preferred option in American foreign policy since its flags were raised on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean over two centuries ago. Although its political lifespan does not exceed 250 years, the majority of this history has been associated with wars, military invasions, and interventions in the affairs of other countries.
The recent war between the United States and Iran has revealed more facets of American policy to global public opinion. This was evident in NATO countries—America’s closest allies—refusing to directly engage in the aggression against Iran, while the Gulf Arabs rushed to provide political, financial, and logistical support to America, and to place their lands and capabilities at the service of America’s aggressive policy against Iran—a move that reveals a political stupidity that history will not forgive the leaders of the Gulf states.
