Has any country ruined its diplomatic capital, looted its own political system, attacked its partners and bowed down to themselves so fast and shamelessly to the weaker enemies as Donald Trump’s America?
In a meeting between Trump and Ukraine President Volodimir Jailonski on Friday at the US President’s office ‘Oval Office’, the American leader tried to publicly humiliate a democratic manner of a nation, which has been attacked by a very greedy and imperialist attacker.
And all this happened because Jailonski refused to sign an act of the anthropopha, criticized Putin (who tried to kill Jailonski on several occasions) and did not kneel in front of Trump’s “Swayambhu Raja” trump. The worst thing is that Trump has been in power for so long that his silly behavior has become normal.
The first sensible Republicans are either scared or under Trump. Alan Musk’s so-called Government Efficiency Department (DOGE) is eliminating the public service system of the US and recruiting sycophants instead of professionals while his social media company ‘X’ is providing a platform to the real new-Nazis advertisements.
As part of an amazing step of self-destruction in the Pentagon, Defense Minister Pete Hegseth has ordered the US ‘Cyber Command’ to stop all the campaigns that target Russia.
The US agency for International Development ‘(USAID) finance cut is destroying the US’ soft power ‘, which is producing a zero which China will happily fill.
What is Trump’s strategy?
Trump’s destructive move is having an earthquake effect globally. The US voting against the proposal of the United Nations General Assembly condemning Russia to launch a war against Ukraine put it into a group in Russia, Belarus and North Korea. Even China had avoided voting on this proposal.
A survey by ‘Yugov’ in the UK found that 48 percent of the British believe that it is more important to support Ukraine than maintaining good relations with the US. Only 20 percent of people are in favor of supporting America rather than Ukraine.
The strange proposal by China, Russia and the United States to reduce its defense budget by China, definitely seems to be weak instead of strength. It seems that Trump aims to surround American businesses with high duty and also to remove Russia from China.
These arguments are both economically illiterate and geopolitically silly.
What does this mean for American colleagues?
Trump’s footsteps have undoubtedly strengthened the traditional rivals of America but have also weakened and worried its friends.
In simple words, now any American colleague – whether it is in Europe or in Asia – cannot believe that Washington will fulfill his security commitments.
American representatives clearly stated to members of NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) at the Munich Security Conference in February that the US probably does not consider itself the main ‘guarantor’ of European security.
The rapid retreat of the US means that European countries will not only have the will and to gather weapons to raise weapons, but will also have to come forward collectively to protect Ukraine.
Whether or not they will be able to do this, it is still not clear. The history of inactivity of Europe does not indicate good signs.
Asia also has options in front of American colleagues. Japan and South Korea are now seriously considering all options to prevent China.
After all, the chaos that Trump has spread in such a short time in his second program is unexpected and surprising. Trump is intensifying its fall in the attempt of ‘America First’ (America I). He is isolating America and his closest friends do not trust him.
By doing this, the world’s most powerful nation has made the world even more dangerous, uncertain and eventually an ugly place.
