Beware the Wounded, Defeated America

America suffered a humiliating defeat in Egypt. It was dealt a painful, historic blow. However, one should pay close attention to the attitudes and behavior of which this defeated, wounded American administration is capable, be it in Egypt, Bahrain or any other Arab country.

As I previously wrote in detail, on the official level, America retracted its position on the Muslim Brotherhood government and the June 30 revolution. It officially accepted, at least outwardly, the new status quo imposed by the revolution. America’s retraction was not by choice, but because it was forced to retreat.

The fact of the matter is that the weight of the defeat on the American administration is heavier than many imagine, and its sense of humiliation is much, much bigger than it appears on the surface. In order for us to understand that, we must reflect on the following:

1) The American strategic loss with the fall of the Muslim Brotherhood government is a heavy historic loss.

America lost a strategic ally. It was really betting on the continuation of the Muslim Brotherhood’s reign in Egypt to implement its plans and its strategies, not just in Egypt, but also in the rest of the Arab world.

We must note that America never expected the fall to happen this quickly or in this way and did not want it. It never wanted a people’s revolution like this to break out, toppling the Muslim Brotherhood, and did not expect the rigid position taken by the Egyptian Army.

2) Until the last moment, America exercised every possible pressure to protect the Muslim Brotherhood government, to prevent their fall and to maintain their power even after the success of the revolution. It failed miserably.

As has become known, America exerted severe pressure on Egyptian Army leaders, resorting to threats and extortion, including the threat of cutting aid. However, that did not work; in fact, it backfired on America.

3) Really, the Egyptian people revolted against America. By exposing the conspiratorial role played by the American ambassador and administration in support of the Muslim Brotherhood and terrorists in Egypt, the people of Egypt shed light on America’s position not only in Egypt, but also all across the Arab world.

The Egyptian people exposed America and shed all of its calls for democracy in Arab states. It uncovered its true support for terrorists and fascist terrorist groups. In light of this, we can understand why America feels the pressure and weight of this defeat. It lives in a state of shock and trauma. It is wrong to think that America will simply and easily accept defeat and retreat accordingly.

In other words, whether in Egypt, Bahrain or the rest of the Arab countries, it is wrong to think that America’s experience in Egypt will force it to re-examine its positions and its connections with suspected terrorist powers or will make it withdraw from its plots. America will not give up its plans; the stirring of internal chaos in Arab states is a prelude to the destruction of these countries.

Conversely, what is certain is that America is preoccupied with how to take revenge for what happened in Egypt. It is trying to save face and to prove to itself and its agents in the region that it was not defeated and will be able to regain the upper hand in the construction and the implementation of its plans.

Thus, despite the officially stated American position of accepting the status quo in Egypt, it is certain that it has not stopped plotting or trying to halt the great transformation that is happening.

In that light, the reports about the American ambassador in Cairo committing suspicious sabotage by encouraging the Muslim Brotherhood to continue their violence and terrorism, and even to escalate this behavior to put pressure on the Egyptian people and to secure gains for the Muslim Brotherhood, are not at all far from the truth.

In Bahrain, nobody expected that the Egyptian lesson would push America to give its aid and its protection to the forces of a sectarian coup. America will never do that by its own choice; it will only do that if it is forced to, as in Egypt.

Thus, in light of all this, the Arab states must be warned of what America might do to them now that it feels defeated and wounded in Egypt.

However, in all cases, the Arab states must not lose sight of the great lesson taught to America by the Egyptian people and national army: It is easy to put an end to American plans and schemes. The whole thing depends on the desire of the people and the leadership, and their determination to defend the homeland against conspirators both from within and without.
