Is the US in trouble in the Middle East? | The Bottom Line
While the United States government fully backs Israeli actions in its war on Gaza, other countries have taken a different approach.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Israel’s actions have “gone beyond the scope of self-defence”. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan pushed back against the Israeli and US classification of Hamas as a terrorist group, saying, “Hamas is not a terrorist group, it is a group of liberators who protect their land.”
Council on Foreign Relations Senior Fellow Charles Kupchan tells host Steve Clemons that the US will have to get used to a world where Washington can’t always call the shots.

I have issues with people who keep saying Hamas uses civilians as human shield when the people in Gaza have nowhere to go!
You should ask why they have no where to go. Israel blockade Gaza to prevent Hamas Suicide bombers from entering. Egypt refuse to let Palestinians into their land because they are afraid of Terrorist infiltration even though both Gaza and Egypt are Muslim. So who's fault is it?
Let us not forget that it was Israel, which in fact created Hamas. According to Zeev Sternell, historian at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, “Israel thought that it was a smart ploy to push the Islamists against the Pales tinian Liberation Organisation (PLO)”. (L’Humanité, translated from French)
I think they are referring to them building their bases underneath hospitals and schools. So yes they are using them as human shields. Grow a brain brah

Facts
@@Truth_to_Powers _The American military is not a democracy._ _"U.S. interests"_ don't always line up with voter and/or public interests and the U.S. military serves at our government's command. The U.S. government will do *whatever* they deem necessary to promote and defend American special interests overseas. For those people to do their jobs -- we as individuals, don't need to agree with their choices or even know about them. _That's why exposing national secrets/classified documents is such a serious crime._ Humanitarian values are more for civilians. They help us feel good about ourselves -- while other people get their hands dirty so we don't have to carry that with us. *For example:* If the U.S. has to do unspeakable things to defend Western political supremacy and promote domestic economic stability, _they will._
Ask who funds his Organisation - could be Israel
@@Truth_to_Powersbut in reality from whom does America need to protect its citizens from? Who is starting wars over the world? It's definitely America. And let's not forget the UK / Canadian / Australian / EU poodles.
Did he seriously say the war on Palestinians is more morally complicated than the Ukraine war?
I think he’s referring to the cranial separation and infantile incineration.
are you not aware of how long this conflict has been going on?
Read Nabuccø West pipëline to understand the wars and why ißrael and it's proxies attacked Syriå because it's sitting on oil and gas reserve 10x of that ißrael have to export out of EU. The NATō proxy war in Ukrāine is to divert EU to buy gas from Ißrael instead of Rusßia.
And that Hamas has been raining bombs on civilians in Israel since Oct 7th when they raped, tortured, kidnapped or killed regular people from their homes? They still have 200 hostages! Free Israel! Free the hostages!
I think it actually is more complicated given the Isrealies are illegally occupying and as a matter of law have no right to self defense. The Arabs are justified in whatever they do.
Western countries who have military bases in Middle East should leave
I agree with you
That’s up to those countries. If those countries want us gone then they can say so.
I agree with you 💯💯💯
@@DeeWeber I'm afraid it's not up to these countries. Do you truly think they would go away if they say so ?
The US will surely create chaos and political turmoil before they they leave. They would present themselves as world peace keepers and want the world to understand its policing strategies. But not anymore. People are not going to be vulnerable but act smart instead.
He said in Palestine is more complicated 😳 it’s an excuse for those who are turning blind about the genocide happening in Palestine
Just because it's China saying that Israeli actions have gone beyond self defense doesn't make that a political move, it's a fact. Everyone sees this.
"We have definitely lost the battle in the global south," senior G7 diplomat: "All the work we have done with the global south [over Ukraine] has been lost...Forget about rules, forget about world order. They won't listen to us again." Many developing countries have traditionally supporting the Palestinian cause, seeing it through the prism of self-determination and a push against the global dominance of the US, Israel's most important backer.

@@Truth_to_Powers except no us bases in israel, so back to the drawing board for your theory i guess
@@MrLostform There isn’t a formal U.S. military base in Israel. However, the United States does provide substantial military aid and support to Israel, making it a key ally in the region. The concerns about the ethical implications of this alliance, especially in the context of conflict, are still relevant topics of discussion. The complexities of international relations and democratic values often lead to complex debates. Your insights are appreciated, and these discussions contribute to a better understanding of these intricate issues. the United States has provided significant military aid and economic assistance to Israel over the years. Since the signing of the U.S.-Israel Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in 1987, Israel has been the largest recipient of U.S. foreign assistance in the form of military aid. Under the latest MOU, which covers the years 2019 to 2028, the U.S. pledged to provide Israel with $38 billion in military aid over the ten-year period. This agreement replaced the previous MOU, which covered the years 2009 to 2018 and provided approximately $30 billion in military aid to Israel.

To be able to call people human shields you first have to demonstrate a willingness not to shoot through them, a willingness to distinguish and identify people as not targets. Israels initial descriptions of Human animals and necessary collateral damage is a much more accurate description of how Israel regards people in the region, given the current long range bombardment, justifications for atracking schools and hospitals where tens of thousands are sheltering from the widespread bombardment and the past sniping of protesters, journalists and medics.
Zionist are Nazis
Just goes to show they do whatever they want to whoever they wish. I think that even with cruelty and wickedness aside Israelis complete disregard for the rest of the worlds opinion demonstrate their gobsmacking arrogance, they must really believe that they are in fact the "chosen ones"

Whereas the US did not want to keep Iraq after the invasion , Israel is going to keep Gaza for its own security concerns after Hamas is destroyed. So Israel is more determined to be successful in the invasion of Gaza than the US was determined in its invasion of Iraq and Afganistan.
If the US did not want to keep the countries it invaded: Iraq, Afghanistan, Panama -- it wouldn't have overthrown those governments, even killing or imprisoning their leaders, then occupying and continuing to wage war on the people there, torturing and imprisoning them. The US watched the mujahedeen defeat the Soviet military in Afghanistan after 10 long years of war. Then, it said, "let us try!" It managed to hang on twice as long but suffered the same fate. Israel is arguably as murderous as the Nazis, though. They're running the occupied territories like concentration camps.
Israel ocuppied Gaza for years. In 2005, they retreated at their own will. Why would they want it back? It's not the first time they went into Gaza since they retreated everyone from there.
No justice No peace, if Israel is serious about solving the Issue, they need to integrate every aspect governance fairly and squarely for all who live within the boundaries of the land! Even if they end up not being a majority or amount the ruling class!
If the USA is the biggest supporter of Israel, is it not only in terms of military interests but also because the USA needs Israel as a home base for its military operations? So, is the USA allowing Israel to do whatever it wants, including genocide, because the USA needs Israel as a strategic military ally in the Middle East? I understand that the US wants to protect its citizens. However, it’s challenging to ascertain whether these actions are truly in the best interest of the American people. Many Americans may not support the idea of war crimes or genocide happening, especially when it’s visible in the news, and they might feel hopeless or helpless to stop this conflict. The situation raises questions about the nature of democracy and whether the choices being made align with democratic values. Despite these challenges, there might still be a path forward that ensures military dominance while upholding humanitarian values.
The aim of Israel is the concept of grand Israel including all of Palestine.
The vacuum in the Whitehouse cannot be discounted
0:21 "The shock and awe attack of October 7." I see what you did there and I approve.
The American embassy stuff in Algeria use to move around freely and received nicely by the locals I don't think it's possible to do that now ? 🤔
“The US said Ukraine has the power to choose if they want to fight or not” yeah right, we all know the US is the one really pulling the strings in Ukraine. He lost me there and ain’t going to listen and more to what he has to say.
For a guy who wrote a book on a multipolar era post american hegemony he doesnt seem to get past the same old western tropes on the rest of the world or understand the limits on American power ( or responsibility) in many of these conflicts. Not impressive
Charles Kupchan wrote in The New York Times on September 15, 2010, “Since Israel holds virtually all the cards - the land, the tanks, the wealth, the water - the Palestinians should make that bold move by taking what they can get, not what they want.” DO THIS SOUND LIKE A FAIR BROKER???
He’s wrong. Exact opposite. The fact that Israel can bomb at will, proves how strong and powerful USA is. That might change in 50 years, but America dominates because it has SWIFT, and financial infrastructure that gives US dollar unlimited dominance. But very few understand this. It’s obvious the Israel plan is long term and is to grab as much land as possible. The American and Jewish people are not to blame, they are honest hard working law abiding loving people. It is the leadership that is to blame. The negative consequence is that in the future no will abide by previous rules of war. Civilians now be fair game in all future wars. This will haunt the USA fifty years from now, which is when these other countries will rise to power - unless the USA can establish dominance in AI, but that looks unlikely, with advances China is making.
Hamas also bombs at will, yet nobody is blaming them. Hesbollah also. Do you think the indiscriminate bombing of Hamas and Hesbollah in civilians areas are also evil?
@@dragoshthebest The killing of innocent Israelis is absolutely wrong and horrible and must be condemned. However, what’s happening right now is that innocent Palestinian children are being slaughtered and they have nothing to do with Hamas.
Keep in mind what is now known as America done much the same as Israel has done to Palestine I.E shove the indigenous people off the land and continued to take more and more land...I got to admit I wonder where where the expansion will stop...
@jsd8981 this is what arab conquest did too, starting with mohammed. Didnt the ottomans conquer byzantine empire and drove millions of people out of their lands? The arabs continued to take more and more land. It's what Rusia did, Mongols did, Persians, babylonians, Greeks, romans, Spanish and all other nations and empires.
@@dragoshthebest your absolutely right. In fact that’s what happened when they dropped the bomb on Hiroshima. But should man not try to change for the better. Unfortunately you are probably right. Won’t ever hope
The cruelty knows no bounds. They’ve shut off water and power from Gaza so that we can’t see their crimes anymore. If this is how they acted when we could see them, imagine what they’re capable of in the dark. State Genocide of innocent Palestinians while the world is watching. Very tragic 😥
Darkness hides many sins....
This conversation doesn’t make sense at all at this point!!!! Steve gave an easy pass to his guest. Unacceptable!!
Council of Foreign Relations. Says it all. 😅😂😅😂
Poor United States, you can no longer enforce your will everywhere. I'm almost crying.
All our foreign policy mistakes make it difficult to persuade countries like India and china to our side in certain issues like war and peace without looking like a hypocrite.
Why would we need countries like that on our side? India has no power outside it's borders. China is falling apart as we speak. They need our help not the other way around.
I have issues with people who keep saying Hamas using civilians as human shields When there’s no difference between Hamas and Palestinian civilians because Hamas are Palestinian Civilians 😢
I shut off after his explanation of the Ukraine war.
This is classic US propaganda...
Take this to the bank. Majority of the World 🌍 will Hold America 🇺🇸 Accountable
Yes Of course... They are biased and not in favour peace and victims but stand with occupiers
"polycentric" (and "multicentric") is an oxymoron. He means "multipolar".
America isn’t honest, too much personal interest focused.
