very few of the dictatorships in the middle east will survive an american withdrawal.
with american withdrawal, the long necessary arab enlightenment period may finally be in view on the horizon.

when donald trump goes to europe, he sees plain and modest buildings built for utility, while wealth is distributed more fairly to people. when donald trump goes to the middle east, he sees immense disparities in wealth, and ostentatious towers built of gold. therefore, the middle east is a rising society because it builds towers of gold on the backs of it's people, and europe is on the brink of collapse because it does not have these displays of wealth, and instead has better wealth redistribution.
the role that the united states has played in building and maintaining this order appears to be lost on him, as are the lessons of the revolutions of the past. more gold towers equals more success, and a higher likelihood of success in the future.
as a leftist, i'll happily take the mistake and call on the forces of democracy and liberation to take advantage of it.

there was a time after world war two when the united states understood that it had to occupy germany and japan, and then korea, and then poland, not in order to "protect them", but in order to subjugate them and force them to submit to american hegemony, because allowing them to rebuild and remilitarize posed not just a substantive threat to american security but the greatest threat to it. it was also calculated that forward positions in europe and asia would help contain eurasian powers, but this was secondary to the need to occupy and control america's enemies, which were germany and japan. the united states was aligned with both russia and china in world war two.
that correct thought process is no longer being considered by the pentagon, which is now concerning itself with resource extraction in the western hemisphere, in an attempted return to the distant past, which will fail on it's own accord. it is instead encouraging it's enemies to arm themselves so america doesn't need to "protect" them, as though they were there out of the goodness of their hearts, and not as occupying and pacifying forces, with the purpose of subjugating them.
instead, america seeks to align itself with the "rising powers" in the middle east, which are, in truth, the society that is on the brink of actual civilizational collapse. they are not following russian propaganda, they're being led by the arab lobby and easily distracted by the display of gold and outward wealth. but this distribution of wealth is false, as it reflects decisions in washington to buy oil from the middle east and increase european reliance on american defence systems. the europeans can defend themselves, but the muslims cannot.
what america is going to learn very quickly is that if it allows europe to "defend itself", it will immediately reassert itself as a threat to us interests and that if it gets out of the way in the middle east, the society will almost instantly collapse. the united states is not holding europe together, but it is propping up dictatorships in the middle east. this is the opposite of their calculations. germany does not need the united states to protect itself from russia, but saudi arabia does need the united states to protect itself from it's own people.
as a secular leftist, i'm interested in this outcome. the world will be better off with a stronger europe and a weaker middle east. the mistake of america's stupid right will be of the benefit of the global left.
as for the pacific, i don't imagine the united states is going to actually withdraw from japan and, so long as it remains in japan, it will retain a deterrent.
