Topics
David Sacks:美国及其盟友对也门的胡塞武装目标发动袭击,是中东地区局势升级的风险。此举不会产生任何影响,只会加剧冲突,并将美国推向与伊朗开战的道路。沙特阿拉伯和阿联酋在袭击中没有参与,并呼吁克制和缓和局势,表明他们担心冲突升级。美国对也门的袭击可能是“转移视线”的策略,以转移人们对国内问题的注意力,也可能是为了弥补拜登政府在处理胡塞武装问题上的无能为力。美国对也门的军事行动徒劳无功,只会招致报复,而美国没有明显的经济动机参与其中。美国公众虽然总体上反对战争,但在媒体宣传下,往往会在具体事件中支持战争。也门冲突的持续可能会削弱拜登总统的形象,使其看起来无法控制局势。 Chamath Palihapitiya:美国卷入也门冲突缺乏明显的经济动机,因为美国可以通过其他航线维持经济,而冲突主要影响欧洲。美国参与也门冲突的主要影响是增加中国到欧洲港口的航运成本,而美国可以承受这种成本。美国对也门的袭击可能是为了转移人们对国内政治困境的注意力。 David Freeberg:胡塞武装的袭击目标明确,主要针对西方船只,而非中国船只。即使胡塞武装没有攻击中国船只,但由于大量中国集装箱通过红海,冲突仍然会对中国贸易产生重大影响。中东地区的石油供应链存在结构性风险,这可能会导致油价冲击。美国战略石油储备的减少降低了政府干预以应对石油供应冲击的能力。中东地区冲突的多个战场可能会导致局势失控。
