A Post-American Alliance for the Middle East || Peter Zeihan
Summary
Peter Zeihan analyzes a new security pact between Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan, noting its current limitations due to divergent regional threats like India and Russia. He argues that while the alliance is premature now, it makes strategic sense as the U.S. withdraws from the Middle East. Zeihan predicts that by 2030, deglobalization and energy needs will force these Sunni nations into deeper economic and military integration to secure their own neighborhoods.
