Version 0.06 (2024-02-15 12:17:33.661000)

updates: The United States is reassessing its ties with Middle East allies as it nears completion of its pullout policy from the region. Challenges in U.S.-Middle East historical ties include unrecouped expenditures, failure to democratize Middle Eastern governments, high U.S. casualties in wars, and diminishing significance. China and Russia have significantly expanded their presence in the Middle East's oil and gas sectors, with Chinese firms now dominating Iraq's oil production. China's Belt and Road Initiative has increased its presence and influence in the region. The United States' departure from the Middle East could jeopardize its global interests, including energy security and U.S. strategies in energy markets. A return to the "Denial Oil" policy is seen as imperative for safeguarding U.S. interests in the region and beyond.
