في الأيام الماضية كنت أتابع بعض الأخبار اللافتة على الصعيد الاقتصادي والسياسي، وأحاول فهمها وتحليل أبعادها.
الدولار الأمريكي يواصل هبوطه، ولا تزال قيمته تتدنى باستمرار، فقد الدولار الأمريكي أكثر من 11% من قيمته في فترة الأشهر الستة الماضية، وهذا يتوافق تماماً مع سياسات إدارة الرئيس الأمريكي دونالد ترمب، تخفيض العملة الأمريكية مطلب إستراتيجي لها لتحفيز الصناعة وخفض التكلفة ورفع قدرات التصدير، وبالتالي ردم هوة العجز التجاري بين أمريكا والصين.
وعلى الجانب الآخر هناك ارتفاع هائل في عملة البيتكوين الرقمية تجاوز 60% خلال فترة ثلاثة أشهر. أنه مشهد مهم جدّاً.
من الواضح أننا أمام تغيّر مثير، فالمسألة تتجاوز وبكثير مجرد أخبار الصعود والهبوط، إننا كما يبدو ظاهراً وجليّاً أمام نظام مالي جديد يتشكّل. فقد العالم ثقته في العملات التقليدية مع طباعة العملات بكميات مهولة ونثرها في الأسواق وخروج معدلات التضخم عن حدود السيطرة.
الحكومات حول العالم تتسابق لإنشاء نسخ رقمية من عملتها الوطنية، وكبرى الشركات تعتمد قبول الكريبتو كعملة سداد، والمستثمر الذكي بدأ يتجه نحو العقارات المرمزة رقمياً لاعتمادها.
الحديث لم يعد عن أدوات استثمار جديدة، بل عن لغة مالية مختلفة تماماً من لا يتقنها اليوم سيقصى عنها غداً.
وليس هذا هو المشهد الوحيد المثير للاهتمام، فهناك التهديد الصريح الذي صدر من مبعوث الإدارة الأمريكية لمنطقة الشرق الأوسط توم باراك بحق لبنان، الذي قال فيه: «إن لبنان عليه أن يتحرّك وإلا أصبح جزءاً من بلاد الشام»، وقد أثار هذا التصريح الكثير من اللغط والجدل المتوقع، لكنه قد يصب تماماً في توجّه عام سبق أن صُرح به عن طريق بيان رسمي صادر من السفارة الأمريكية في سوريا ينتقد فيه وبعنف اتفاقية سايكس بيكو والضرر الذي سبّبته على المنطقة في تلميح صريح أنها انتهت ويجب صنع واقع آخر مغاير.
وإذا كان تصريح دونالد ترمب الشهير بحق إسرائيل أنها دولة صغيرة، وأن حدودها يجب أن تكبر لا يزال في الذاكرة فيجب ربطه مع الأحداث الحاصلة على الأرض لأنها هي الأساس.
نسترجع مع الذاكرة الخريطة، التي قدمتها المنظمة الصهيونية العالمية لمؤتمر الصلح في باريس عام 1919، وتُظهِر حدود الدولة الصهيونية بأنها تضم مصادر المياه في لبنان وسوريا. أي من نهر الأولى شمال صيدا وحتى شمال قرية القرعون في البقاع وصولاً إلى جبل الشيخ الذي تنوي إسرائيل ضمه إلى جانب مصادر مياه في سوريا أيضاً. ويلاحظ أن الخريطة وقتها ضمت حوض الأردن بضفتيه.
فإذا حصل ما يذكره مراراً السفير الأمريكي إلى تركيا توماس براك عن تغيير خرائط سايكس بيكو – وهو أيضاً مبعوث الرئيس الأمريكي لأزمة سوريا. فإن تكرار تهديده بإعادة النظر في سايكس بيكو قد يشمل لبنان وليس سوريا فقط مع احتمال تقسيم لبنان إلى أربع مناطق:
قسم جنوبي لإسرائيل يمتد من نهر الأولى شمال صيدا ويشمل حوض الليطاني من النقطة حيث يعمق وتغزر مياهه في القرعون حيث السد، وليس فقط الضفة الجنوبية لليطاني. أي أن صيدا وصور وباقي المدن تصبح في القسم الذي تطمع به إسرائيل من لبنان.
قسم شمالي يشمل ما تبقى من سهل البقاع وعكار وطرابلس، ويضم إلى سوريا الحالية.
قسم على الساحل والجبل بحدود إمارة لبنان الصغيرة، تكون عاصمته بيروت.
قسم رابع يفصل بين ما تنوي إسرائيل احتلاله جنوباً وبين لبنان الصغير المذكور أعلاه، لإقامة دويلة بأغلبية درزية تبدأ جنوب بيروت وتمتد من ساحل الشوف عبر وادي التيم وتصل إلى السويداء جنوب دمشق.
علامات صغيرة ومشاهد دقيقة مطلوب التنبه إليها والتمعن فيها؛ لأن هذه التفاصيل هي ذاتها تكوّن وتصمم الصورة الختامية.

In the past few days, I have been following some striking news on the economic and political fronts, trying to understand and analyze its dimensions.
The US dollar continues to decline, and its value is consistently decreasing; the US dollar has lost more than 11% of its value in the past six months. This aligns perfectly with the policies of President Donald Trump's administration, as devaluing the US currency is a strategic demand for them to stimulate industry, reduce costs, and enhance export capabilities, thereby bridging the trade deficit gap between America and China.
On the other hand, there is a massive increase in the value of Bitcoin, which has exceeded 60% over a three-month period. This is a very significant scene.
It is clear that we are witnessing an exciting change; the issue goes far beyond mere news of rises and falls. It seems evident that we are facing the formation of a new financial system. The world has lost confidence in traditional currencies due to the massive printing of money and its distribution in the markets, along with inflation rates spiraling out of control.
Governments around the world are racing to create digital versions of their national currencies, and major companies are adopting cryptocurrency as a payment method, while smart investors are beginning to turn towards digitally tokenized real estate for their investments.
The discussion is no longer about new investment tools, but rather about a completely different financial language; those who do not master it today will be excluded from it tomorrow.
And this is not the only interesting scene; there is the explicit threat issued by the US administration's envoy to the Middle East, Tom Barrack, regarding Lebanon, in which he stated: "Lebanon must act, or it will become part of Greater Syria." This statement has sparked a lot of expected controversy and debate, but it may very well align with a broader direction previously articulated in an official statement from the US embassy in Syria, which harshly criticized the Sykes-Picot Agreement and the damage it has caused to the region, implying that it has ended and that a different reality must be created.
If Donald Trump's famous statement regarding Israel being a small country, and that its borders should expand, is still fresh in memory, it should be connected to the events occurring on the ground, as they are the basis.
We recall the map presented by the World Zionist Organization at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919, which shows the borders of the Zionist state as encompassing water sources in Lebanon and Syria. This includes the Litani River from north of Sidon up to the northern part of the Qaraoun village in the Bekaa, reaching Mount Hermon, which Israel intends to annex, alongside water sources in Syria as well. It is noted that the map at that time included the Jordan Valley on both sides.
If what the US ambassador to Turkey, Thomas Bark, repeatedly mentions about changing the Sykes-Picot maps occurs—he is also the US president's envoy for the Syria crisis—then his repeated threat to reconsider Sykes-Picot may include Lebanon, not just Syria, with the possibility of dividing Lebanon into four regions:
A southern section for Israel extending from the Litani River north of Sidon and including the Litani basin from the point where its waters deepen and become abundant in Qaraoun, where the dam is located, not just the southern bank of the Litani. This means that Sidon, Tyre, and the other cities will fall within the section that Israel covets in Lebanon.
A northern section that includes what remains of the Bekaa Valley, Akkar, and Tripoli, which would be annexed to current Syria.
A coastal and mountainous section with the borders of the small Emirate of Lebanon, with Beirut as its capital.
A fourth section that separates what Israel intends to occupy in the south from the small Lebanon mentioned above, to establish a statelet with a Druze majority starting south of Beirut, extending from the Shouf coast through the Wadi al-Taym to reach Sweida south of Damascus.
Small signs and precise scenes require attention and contemplation; because these details themselves form and design the final picture.
