2) The Middle East and North Africa are rich in oil and make a lot of money.
The main factor should be the jealousy of having oil but not being able to take it in large quantities, which led to the invasion of the United States (it seems that the United States intervened because of civil strife and then became the current situation)
The intervention of western countries can prove that the United States is not aggression but repression!
The United States has overwhelming ability, but the reason why this war lasted so long is that it will consume them, make them unable to become independent after the riots, and cause greater civil strife, thus sending more troops! Firmly grasp the oil region ... Now the civil strife is more serious than before, and the threat of arms smuggling is even greater, so the intervention of western countries is like agreeing that the United States is right, and foreign intervention will continue until the end of the civil strife! )
The personal guess in brackets above is that the military strength sent by western countries is less than one tenth of that of the United States, so it is not intervention at all. It's just that they United with the United States to calm the chaos!
but
First, the Arab world will be divided and weakened again. The traditional power pattern will be broken, and the differences and contradictions among Arab countries will deepen. The Arab League has different opinions on the turmoil in member countries, and its response is slow and its influence is weak. The attitude of western military intervention is vacillating, and it is helpless to the development of the situation, which reflects the deep influence of western pressure and internal differences of opinion. This will accelerate the transfer of power in the region, the regional influence of Iran and Turkey will continue to rise, and the status of the entire Arab world in the international system will further decline.
After the old order is broken, the Arab world is likely to fall into ideological confusion and political ideological confusion for a long time. Historically, pan-Islamism, pan-Arabism and Arab nationalism, which once prevailed in the Middle East, suffered setbacks and blows from the West. Where to go in the future is a problem that Arab countries that are currently undergoing difficult transformation must face, but there is no ready-made answer. Western intervention will cause new depression in the Arab world and may lead to new extreme nationalism in the region. At the same time, the vacuum caused by the collapse of political power and belief system will attract other external forces and institutions to fill it, and the previously suppressed regional Islamism will take this opportunity to make a comeback.
