">Washington seems to have abandoned its Levant remodeling map for another. However, the failure of the first project and the strength of the Syrian people do not bode well for the implementation of this new plan. Thierry Meyssan reviews the adjustments it requires and the division it has created within the coalition: on one side, the United States, Israel and Saudi Arabia, on the other, France and Turkey.

">By organizing in Iraq and Syria the first war leading to a decline in oil prices, the Obama administration’s intention was probably to cripple its adversaries’ economies: Russia, Iran and Venezuela. But this policy can have severe unintended consequences in other areas: acceleration of China’s development, threats to the dollar’s value and a challenge to the economic model predicated on an illusory shale oil bonanza. For William Engdhal, this last manipulation is perhaps the straw that will break the camel’s back.

">Since May, the White House has continued to delay the publication of its national security strategy. In fact, President Obama noted that while his team better manages events than that of his predecessor, it is unable to present a coherent analysis of the world and define its doctrine. Moreover, the expected loss of the majority in both houses of Congress would force him to find new collaborateurs.
