2003: Attack on Iraq and hanging of President Saddam Hussein
On March 20, 2003, US troops, with the support of Britain and several other countries, attacked Iraq. On April 9, Baghdad fell, and President Saddam Hussein was overthrown. The Iraqi president was subsequently executed by hanging.
The pretext for the invasion was the statements of the Americans about the presence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, which were subsequently never found.
The country plunged into chaos and a series of feuds for a long time, turning into a bleeding ulcer on the body of the Middle East. After 10 years in 2013, it was from Iraq that the rise of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant began.

2023: From "control the world" policies to deliberate fragmentation of the world and allied control
The long-term trend of declining dollars in international reserves for 2023 is undeniable, exactly, as is the decline in dollars in international trade settlements.
Due to the development of alternative trade unions and clusters of the global economy, the importance of alternative currencies, primarily the yuan, will grow. It is necessary to understand and recognize the existing trends as irreversible, and the decline in the US share as inevitable.
This is not a guarantee of weakening the United States or even a decrease in dollar turnover in absolute values, Spydell Finance wrote. In relative terms, yes, but the influence of the United States can and will remain significant within the formed clusters.
The share of key US allies in the structure of foreign treasure holders has grown from 52 to 66% over the past 10 years, with all major growth occurring between March 2018 and June 2022, when it rose from 55 to 66%.
There is a high-intensity and quite successful replacement of, China,, Russia Turkey OPEC countries (a decrease in the share from 3.8 to 2.7% in 5 years due to a loss of interest Saudi Arabia in Treaseris). The share decreases Brazil from 5.6 to 3.3%.
The geopolitical bitterness of the United States, which has reached a new round since 2018, is rather a meaningful strategy, where in the American establishment there is an understanding of the impossibility of controlling everyone at once.
If so, it is much more rational to fragment the global geopolitical landscape and prevent the assembly of a new geopolitical and economic structure led by China from being realized.
For 2023, it turns out not particularly well, but there is an understanding that the United States is quite comfortable in its own ecosystem of key allies, where high-strength technological, political, economic and financial cooperation takes place.
The United States does not rely on the control of Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia and China and other obstinate countries, as it did 10-15 years ago, but concentrates on retaining key allies.
It makes no sense to maintain "warm" political relations, but you can "chop off the shoulder and shoot from the hip," while in your own ecosystem there is quite harmonious and effective cooperation and development.

2021: US forces Croatia to abandon Chinese investment in Rijeka port
Washington used diplomacy, declassified intelligence and other tools to persuade an ally to NATO Croatia exclude China from the project at the port of Rijeka.
When information about the port reconstruction deal emerged in 2020, alarm bells sounded in Washington: Three Chinese state-owned companies won a tender for a 50-year deal to build and operate a new state-of-the-art container transshipment terminal in Rijeka, a deep-sea port with easy access to central European markets.
American diplomacy, combined with pressure from the EU, ultimately helped block Chinese ambitions, sources said in 2023. In January 2021, the Croatian government canceled the tender without explanation.
The effort to block China's access to the port, details of which have not been previously reported, provides insight into how American officials are working as part of a broader strategy to counter Beijing's influence in Europe.

2023: US crushes France in Niger
On December 2, 2023, US Ambassador to Niger Kathleen Fitzgibbon officially presented her credentials to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Niger. This diplomatic procedure was immediately interpreted as normalizing relations after a military coup in July and recognizing the new government.
Fitzgibbon arrived in the country in August and the local Foreign Ministry expected her to take office a few months ago. However, Washington said at the time that the ambassador would not present his credentials to the new Niger authorities, since the United States would not recognize them. Well, after the presentation procedure, the media, of course, began to discuss the turn of Niger towards the United States and the reasons for the unexpected warming.
At this time, the Americans are under the control of a large air force base 201 in the area of the city of Agadez in northeastern Niger. The air base serves as a reconnaissance and surveillance center in the Sahel countries and is equipped with attack drones and transport aircraft. In total, there are about 1,000 US troops in Niger.
It is curious that a few days before the mentioned events, Niger and Burkina Faso (obviously for various reasons) left the pro-French defense alliance G5 Sahel, and a year earlier this was done in Mali. As a result, only Chad and Mauritania remained in the association.
In general, processes similar to those taking place in Gabon take place in Niger - the United States replaces France as the colonial metropolis, wrote Rybar.
