Tom Barrack, of Global Security Form in Doha, states that the US no longer seeks to control the "Grand Bargain" – oil in exchange for security. He claims that the conflict and resulting controversy favored the West, and that the more unstable the region, the greater its ability to manipulate fossil fuels. He asserts that the America that has been a global guarantor for the past 80 years is no longer present. He describes this not as abandonment, but as a shift towards "nurturing" the situation. He refers to this as a process similar to "raising teenagers".
