Neocon roadmap of 1996 set plan for current situation in Palestine 1996年新保守主義路線圖為巴勒斯坦現狀製定了計劃
In the wake of the fall of the USSR, the US drew up an overarching plan for global domination. These plans were detailed and committed to paper in the 1992 Defense Planning Guidance document https://www.archives.gov/files/declassification/iscap/pdf/2008-003-doc18.pdf
The U.S. must show the leadership necessary to establish and protect a new order that holds the promise of convincing potential competitors that they need not aspire to a greater role or pursue a more aggressive posture to protect their legitimate interests.
In other words, the US must hold the monopoly on global power. No other country will be allowed to challenge the US, even if their interests are legitimate. The US will be the master, and the rest of the world will be subjugated to it. This plan extended to the economic domain:
In non-defense areas, we must account sufficiently for the interests of the advanced industrial nations to discourage them from challenging our leadership or seeking to overturn the established political and economic order. We must maintain the mechanism for deterring potential competitors from even aspiring to a larger regional or global role.
We have to understand the vassalization of the EU as part of this framework.
Russia was to be continued to be seen as a threat:
We continue to recognize that collectively the conventional forces of the states formerly comprising the Soviet Union retain the most military potential in all of Eurasia….democratic change in Russia is not irreversible, and that despite its current travails, Russia will remain the strongest military power in Eurasia and the only power in the world with the capability of destroying the United States.
In the Middle East, it stated,
Our overall objective is to remain the predominant outside power in the region and preserve U.S. and Western access to the region’s oil. We also seek to deter….a hegemon or alignment of powers from dominating the region.
A later version stated the importance of Israel and ensuring its monopoly on power.
The United States is committed to the security of Israel and to maintaining the qualitative edge that is critical to Israel’s security. Israel’s confidence in its security and U.S.-Israel strategic cooperation contribute to the stability of the entire region…
This 1992 document became the blueprint for the US global domination, reworking itself into PNAC’s “Rebuilding America’s defenses” which became the roadmap for war in the middle east, and the Bush doctrine of Unipolarity, Military domination, Pre-emptive war, & Regime change. It was a plan to remake the world in the US image.
Interestingly enough, despite crowing about the end of history, its narcissistic and ego-maniacal assertion of total, full spectrum US power, was always tinged by oedipal anxiety around other competition, and a fearful emphasis on pre-emptively destroying competitors rather than seeking accommodation or even containing them.
A subset of this doctrine was elucidated in 1996: Arch Neocons Douglas Feith, Richard Perle, David Wurmser. commissioned by Netanyahu, wrote “A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm”. https://web.archive.org/web/20140125123844/http://www.iasps.org/strat1.htm
This was an ideological roadmap for an aggressive geostrategic “clean break” in Israeli policy towards the Palestinians and their neighbors This document emphasized “rebuilding Zionism”, abandoning the peace process in favor of destabilizing and rolling back its neighbors (Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, in particular, Syria through proxies) and punishing and subjugating the Palestinians with a practice of “hot pursuit”, “a justifiable practice which Americans can sympathize with”.
“Western values”, “pre-emptive war”, and ensuring Israel’s monopoly of force in the region were seen as the key for geostrategic peace. All of this was framed in the alignment of Western values and interests with Israel along with a revitalization of a de-socialized Zionism.
