"Our domestic economic deterioration is caused by the Middle East! Middle Eastern people are constantly reducing their holdings of our government bonds, making it impossible for us to issue new government bonds, which has led to the inability to resolve the problem of our fiscal deficit, which has led to slow economic development and increased unemployment. All of this is because of the Middle East problems!" Bush appeared in front of voters on the TV.

"If we want to protect our economy, we must have a strong army to defend our country and protect our normal economic development! This is how we stationed troops in the Middle East! Because the people there never play according to common sense, and the terrorists are abundant there!" Bush never prepared to make a speech in his speech, and he talked endlessly.

"For example, our Lockbee air crash, an incident that seriously harms the interests of our Americans, was done by the evil country Libya. We carried out air strikes on them and punished Gaddafi in Libya. This is the purpose of our army stationed there! Let them know that harming the interests of our American civilians and terrorist activities means being hit!"

"Now, an evil country has appeared in the Middle East. We have reason to believe that the waves of opposing us are now being conspired and planned by this country. They have seriously damaged our interests. This country is now spared no effort to develop military armed forces. They were originally an almost landlocked country with only a few dozen kilometers of coastline in the Persian Gulf, but now they actually have aircraft carriers!"

When Bush said this, his tone became obviously serious, without the humor that Americans had in particular: "We have received the exact information. Now the Soviet Union is building an aircraft carrier for Iraq. This aircraft carrier is now undergoing sea trials. Later, we will join the Iraqi Navy. We want to ask Kusai, as an inland country along the Persian Gulf, what exactly does their aircraft carrier want to do? Is it to patrol the Persian Gulf? Or do you want to go roaming along the US coast?"

Iraq is about to own an aircraft carrier! This is earth-shaking news. Until now, no one has expected that Iraq has such great ambitions!

"Iraq's current military development has long surpassed other countries in the Middle East. Iraq's continuous military development is a serious challenge to the order in the Middle East. They will lead to a new arms race in the Middle East and lead to the deterioration of the situation in the Middle East! I think here, I will seriously protest Iraq's behavior! Your military development has seriously exceeded Iraq's needs, which is a very wrong development!"

"It is obvious that we did not expect that Iraq's leaders have strong ambitions. Iraq is a threat to the stable order in the Middle East. After they have sufficient force, they will be more ambitious in the Middle East and will also challenge the current international order. Iraq is already a threat to the existing international order!"

"The efforts we have made now are all to prevent this scene from happening. However, now, Iraq still does not listen to advice and is on the road of crazy expansion of its military. Moreover, under the instigation of Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and other countries have gradually changed their position towards us, which has a lot to do with our economic deterioration! We must solve this problem! Solving our economic problems is not in our country, but in the Middle East!" Bush said.

No one expected that the one who concocted the Iraq threat theory was either a certain brick in the United States, or the US President, Bush! The theory he has now concocted is to make excuses for his actions in the Middle East. He prepared for the future and discovered the illegal actions of Iraq. Now, the economic deterioration in the United States is inseparable from the Middle East. If you continue to increase your holdings of US Treasury bonds, then everything will be fine. The economic problems of the United States are caused by the malicious and secretly selling US Treasury bonds in the Middle East!

Now, the United States has imposed sanctions on Iraq for the second year, but this sanction has not played any role. On the contrary, it has worsened the economic situation in the United States.

Because for Iraq, they can get things that the United States does not export from Western Europe. Western Europe is very happy to see that with the withdrawal of the United States, they occupy the Iraqi market in certain fields, and the Americans have not made any money, and they have watched Western European countries make money. If sanctions are imposed, they must be the entire Western world to impose a complete sanction. Bush has completely used a fool in this regard.

Moreover, with the US sanctions, the entire Arab world has increased its disgust with the United States, which has led to a significant reduction in the United States' exports to other countries. For example, when Arab construction companies conduct various building materials bidding, they strictly prohibit the use of American merchants' products, and their various luxury goods have all been removed from the Middle East. The United States is a completely loser in the trade war between the United States and Arab countries.

The United States has already changed from a trade surplus to a trade deficit. Exporting products to the Middle East is an important business action for them. In some sense, this has indeed led to the deterioration of the US economic situation.

The funds from Arab countries left the US market and entered Western Europe, which even contributed to the fire.

Although the United States is a democratic country, including the president, the U.S. president still represents the interests of various large capitalists. Looking at the current situation, they know that these are inseparable from the Middle East.

Therefore, with Bush's speech, Iraq's threat theory began to gradually have a larger market in the United States.

With the agreement signed by the United States in Malaysia and the Soviet Union, the Cold War has ended. In this case, although the enemy of the United States is still the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union at this time has no ability to threaten the United States. At this time, should the United States reduce some expenditures to reduce the fiscal deficit and restore the US economy? Moreover, the United States should vigorously develop high-tech industries, such as the Internet technology that has gradually matured, and through high-tech industries, it can drive the economic development of the entire country, thus breaking away from the fiscal deficit and bringing the US economy to the next peak of rapid development.

This is Clinton's strategy. The problem in the United States is not a new threat or a new international security. The most important problem of the United States lies in the United States' own economy! Clinton firmly believes that as long as they vigorously develop high-tech industries, the American economy will surely take off again!

At this time, Bush was still promoting the harsh strategic environment of the United States. There were many rogue countries, which were potential enemies of the United States. The United States must eliminate them. This was purely Cold War thinking! Clinton really couldn't agree with Bush's views. If it weren't for Bush's policies, then the current Middle East problem would not have occurred at all!

Stupid, the problem is economy!

With the arrival of 1992 and another election year, the competition between Clinton and Bush finally began.

However, a new face appeared in this campaign, a new candidate who does not belong to the Republican and Democratic Party: Texas wealthy businessman Ross Perott. He is an expert in computer and information processing, and has started from scratch and accumulated huge wealth in these areas. He successfully obtained signatures from 50 states to participate in the election based on the government's incompetence in economic handling and federal deficits. Due to uneasiness in the country's economic direction, some people are looking for this top candidate, which will also impact their popular vote.

Whoever can attract the attention of voters will win the election! In later generations, due to serious domestic economic problems, although Bush successfully launched the Gulf War, he still did not receive the support of voters and retreated in disgrace. The US economy under the governance of Clinton, under the rapid development process.

Now, Bush did not launch the Gulf War and the situation in the Middle East is in a mess. At this time, can Bush still win the support of voters?

According to the polls, Bush's approval rating is not very high.

…………

Kusai arrived at Geshm Island in a ground-effect aircraft.

After the Soviet Union abandoned the ground-effect aircraft project, Iraq carried it on its own. Within a top department of the Iraqi shipyard, using Soviet technical information and hired personnel, Iraq then used its own advanced technology to finally achieve self-producing this aircraft.

From the outside, it is very similar to the land-effect aircraft of the Kitty Hawk Assault Landing. It can transport 500 soldiers at a time. It is a very suitable choice for rushing to land and transporting materials. Iraq will be equipped with twenty of this type of aircraft. At the same time, the larger 50-ton ground-effect wing aircraft is also in the development stage. After this aircraft is put into service, it can carry the main combat equipment and quickly enter the battlefield. A 50-ton tank can transport ten vehicles at a time. Even if it is an Il 76, it can only transport one vehicle at a time.

This kind of equipment allows Iraq to have advanced strength in quickly dealing with coastal countries' problems and sending troops.

This time, Kusai landed on a vehicle like this and inspected the island of Geshm.

Gershm Island is now the second largest naval base of the Iraqi Navy except Saddam Port. In addition to Iraq's naval ships, even Iraq's naval aviation is also training here. (To be continued.
