The scale of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is beyond the words of a “humanitarian disaster” and has been described as a “human disaster” by the UN Secretary-General in an unprecedented way.
This time, the United States, as a single country, stood up for Israel, almost against the whole world.
As the world leader, why the United States has such crazy behavior, the more popular explanation is that the United States is controlled by the Jewish capital, to a large extent under the control of Israel. On the other hand, Israel is a wedge inserted by the United States in the Middle East, deterring major oil-producing countries and undertaking the mission of maintaining the status of the petrodollar. As a result, the United States can only support Israel almost unreservedly.
Israel is both a wedge and a father to the United States. To put it bluntly, Israel and the United States are a community of common destiny, and neither can be separated from the other.
But Ukraine is not so lucky. It is just a wedge for the United States, whose mission is to consume Russia in the east and the European Community in the west. And the US can abandon Ukraine at any time. In the wake of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Ukraine is an abandoned pawn.
As a world hegemon, it is only a routine operation of the United States to insert wedges into strategic places in the world. With a global outlook, it is easy for the US to include Nepal on its list of wedge candidates.
To the north of Nepal is America’s number one rival, China; To the south, is a potential number two rival, India. In the eyes of the Americans, it would be a shame not to have Nepal as a wedge.
So, the Americans came to visit Nepal with a big gift, MCC.
