The chaos engulfing the middle East and Ukraine, says the decline of the "Empire" of the USA, writes the British analyst John white in for publication.

Middle East he sees as a "front line" in the battle for and against American hegemony in the world. The decline of the "Imperial" US influence in the region, according to his vision, began after a failed "occupation" of Iraq and Afghanistan. The result of American efforts in these countries became only the spread of terrorism and extremism, as well as the inability of the U.S. to conduct large-scale military operations, emphasizes the analyst.

White quotes from a long article in the Washington post, where the condition of the state qualifies as an "Iraq syndrome" - " relentless and sometimes paralyzing conviction that Any large-scale US military intervention abroad is doomed to practical failure and moral iniquity."

Any exacerbation in the middle East increases the probability of bringing unexpected " explosion ", which is confirmed by the consequences of the overthrow of Gaddafi in Libya, emphasizes the analyst. Instead to supply "the Successful landing phase Libyan Arab spring on the shores of Western geopolitical interests," the operation in Libya "opened the gates of hell, out of which has poured tens of thousands of primitive fanatics whose bloodlust knows no bounds," he writes.

Washington and its European allies have been unable to control the spread of fanaticism, says white.

according to his vision, finally undermined the credibility of the American administration in the area of Obama's decision not to launch air strikes on the positions of Syrian government forces. Since then, Israel, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar began to pursue their own goals, considering Washington is weak, the analyst believes.

now the US administration is restricted to "haphazard and impotent air campaign against Islamic countries, and at the same time the enemy increases its "grip" on the territories of Syria and Iraq.

Aggravated reduce the U.S. ability to project its "Imperial power ""senseless and desperate" attempt to force the Russian Federation to act by their rules in Eastern Europe, writes white.

at the same time, the development of China's Asian infrastructure investment Bank, which among other countries joined Britain, questioning the monetary hegemony of the USA in the world, notes the analyst.
