    <!¡ª¡ªgo¡ª¡ª> You have to pick the weakest persimmons. Barzani and his Kurdish compatriots also understand this principle, so the first soft persimmon they found was the old Assad government in Syria.  (Pavilion) The Kurdish-inhabited areas in Syria make up one-tenth of the country's territory. There are only just over one million Kurds there, accounting for less than 5% of the entire Syrian population.  And just like the Kurds in other countries who lack status, these Syrian Kurds have not even obtained Syrian nationality at this time and belong to a group of "black households".

    Long before Barzani declared the independence of Kurdistan, he began to develop the power of his own KDP in the Syrian Kurdistan region.  Moreover, through the Iraq-Syria border, which is difficult for the Syrian government forces to guard, Barzani's KDP secretly smuggled a large amount of arms and weapons into the Syrian Kurdistan region, enriching the strength of the local Kurdish armed forces.

    It was not until Barzani officially declared the independence of Kurdistan that the Kurds in Syria rejoiced. The Syrian Kurdish armed forces supported by Barzani also took up arms and declared to join Barzani's Kurdistan Republic and did not recognize themselves as Syria.  person¡¯s identity.

    Old Assad responded quickly, and the Syrian government forces immediately dispatched eastward attacks on the Kurdish areas in an attempt to extinguish the rebellion and gain more firm control over the area.  However, the Syrian government forces encountered unexpected resistance. Thousands of Kurdish armed forces fought back fiercely. Although the Syrian government forces achieved certain results, they suffered heavy losses.

    Immediately afterwards, Barzani made a public speech, severely condemning Syria's persecution of the Kurds, and asked Syria to stop harming the local Kurds. Otherwise, Kurdistan, as an independent country and protector of the Kurds, will launch a "holy war" against Syria.  , to defend the Kurds¡¯ right to exist.

    The old Assad became angry and sent his son Bashar to personally supervise the battle, and continued to send government troops to the Kurdish areas in an attempt to resolve the rebellion as soon as possible.  And Barzani did not show any weakness. The Kurdish People's Protection Units, equipped with luxurious American weapons, took the oath in Kirkuk, the holy city of the Kurds. The Art of War in Syria officially broke out.

    The whole thing is dizzying and overwhelming.  Within a few days, the Iraqi Kurds declared their independence, causing a flood of spring water. The Syrian Kurds rebelled. In order to protect these compatriots, Kurdistan sent troops to fight with Syria. In just four or five days, the originally peaceful Middle East suddenly turned violent.  was detonated again.  The one that feels most miserable is the United States. Previously, heavy troops were gathered in the Balkans to prepare for a fight with China. As a result, the one-third of an acre of land managed by the United States has caused trouble again.

    The United States had to send diplomats to Erbil, the capital of Kurdistan, one after another, hoping to grasp and control the situation.  However, no matter what the U.S. envoy said, the Kurdish diplomats expressed the same hope that the U.S. would understand the Kurds¡¯ feelings and wishes and that they would continue to develop bilateral relations with the United States.

    Even if the U.S. envoy threatens, if Kurdistan does not cancel its independence and withdraw its troops from Syria, the United States will stop supporting Kurdistan and instead support other neighboring countries to eliminate Kurdistan. By that time, the autonomy of the Kurds will be difficult to maintain.  But such arrogant remarks directly angered Barzani.

    Barzani responded directly: "If the United States does not support our Kurdish independence movement, then we will find people who support us!" The implication is that there is not only one superpower in the world, but also the Chinese who have controlled Babylon in the south.  There is certainly also interest in developing friendly relations with the newly formed territory of Kurdistan.

    This sentence directly blocked the United States. Now in the Middle East, the influence of the United States is equal to that of China.  Through years of political and diplomatic operations, China has attracted two major allies, Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Although neither of these two countries has joined the SCO, they are both relatively close to China.  Egypt once followed China in the war involving Russia and has since developed extensive and in-depth relations. China also supports Mubarak.  After Saudi Arabia experienced an unpleasant past with the United States, its relationship with China gradually exceeded its relationship with the United States.  The United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Jordan, Syria and other countries basically maintain a balanced foreign policy between China and the United States.

    The United States has been at odds with Iran for a long time. Iran¡¯s most important diplomatic relationship now is to get close to China, and at the same time, it uses China¡¯s power to continue to challenge the United States¡¯ regional hegemony.  The most important thing the United States can rely on is Israel. However, being close to Israel will naturally lead to the alienation of Arab countries in the Middle East from the United States. It is really a double-edged sword.  In addition, the United States also has Turkey, a NATO ally in the region. However, the relationship between the two countries is not particularly close, and there are differences on many issues.

    and was classifiedIraq is more critical. China has taken the southern special zone and at the same time formed a relatively strong connection with Iran and Kuwait.  Although the United States occupies two parts, the radiation effect it can form is slightly worse. At the same time, it is extremely troublesome because of the hot potato of the Kurds.  If the Kurds really defect to China, although it may have an unnecessary impact on China-Iran relations, China will definitely be happy to end Kurdistan and suppress the United States in general.

    So even though the U.S. envoy dares to threaten Barzani, he really doesn¡¯t dare to give up on Barzani.  Of course, the means that the United States can use against Barzani at this time are relatively limited. Militarily, it is obviously impossible to shake Barzani with only a few thousand U.S. troops stationed in Iraq, and if it intervenes on a large scale, it is likely to cause even worse consequences.  Implementing an economic blockade will also speed up the process of Barzani defecting to China.  He is really a naughty kid who cannot be beaten or scolded!

    Through a combination of punches, Qi Yiming finally defused the U.S. offensive in Yugoslavia and successfully pulled the Americans to the Middle East.  At a time when the United States has not mastered shale gas technology, its paranoia about the Middle East has not been resolved.  Other important oil producing areas, oil from Siberia and Central Asia mainly supplies China, oil from the South China Sea mainly supplies China, oil from Algeria and Libya mainly supplies Europe and China, oil from Nigeria in West Africa mainly supplies China, and oil from Venezuela mainly supplies China.  ¡­

    When the United States looked around at a loss, it discovered that China's strategy of forming its own strong influence by controlling energy production areas over the years has been clearly understood.  Although the United States also has a certain influence in these countries, it is an indisputable fact that the oil in these countries is mainly controlled by China.

    China has surpassed the United States to become the world's largest energy consumer in 1997, and as early as the 1980s, China began to diversify its energy supply locations around the world. Until now, oil prices have continued to rise, but China has  With its stable source of oil, it still maintains a dazzling rapid development, but the energy supply of the United States has been relatively curbed. Oil from the Middle East is the most important source of energy for the United States.  If the Middle East is controlled by China, the United States will face a serious energy crisis. Even though the United States also has abundant oil reserves, Mexican oil and Canadian oil near the Caribbean Sea are also in its pocket. However, this kind of passivity is definitely not what the United States wants.  Experience.

    Therefore, to a certain extent, safeguarding the Middle East is much more important than intervening in the Balkans.

    In another aspect, China is struggling to find oil all over the world and trying to protect its energy routes.  But in this plane, North Asia is China's back garden. The oil fields in Siberia and Central Asia have pipelines directly connected to China, which are the same as their own resources.  The South China Sea has been fully controlled by China for a long time, and the drilling platforms of CNOOC and Nanyang Petroleum are spread throughout the sea area.  The Indian Ocean String of Pearls has been concluded. The Chinese Navy, which has deployed two aircraft carrier fleets here, firmly controls the oil routes in the Indian Ocean and even serves as a deterrent to other countries.  From Gwadar in Pakistan and Madshu in Myanmar, the oil China obtains from the Middle East and Africa can be directly accessed through the Western and Southwest pipelines.  In contrast, the energy security of the United States has been greatly restricted by China.  Gwadar guards the periphery of the Persian Gulf, and Iran is here to disrupt the situation.  Mogadishu, Somalia, and Port Sudan, Sudan, guard the Red Sea, making the Suez route no longer safe.  Even if you go a long way past the Cape of Good Hope, there is still a naval base built by China in Angola, and you will still be in trouble.  At this time, the United States can only increase its control over Mexican oil and Canadian oil to ease its dependence on oil sources farther away.  However, Mexico and Canada alone are not enough to satisfy the United States' oil appetite, so the Middle East is an important area that the United States has to compete for. Kurdistan is also an important oil-producing area in the Middle East. The United States has been counting on building an oil pipeline from northern Iraq through Turkey and the Mediterranean.  , shipping towards the United States.  And if Kurdistan changes sides, the United States will not only lose an important strategic pivot in the Middle East, but its own energy security will also suffer huge challenges and losses.
