Trump's America

The world will manage its affairs away from Trump's America. The man has practically opened a new era in international relations that is "not based on rules" and in which there is no reference to higher authorities.

After World War II, America inherited Britain, the dollar replaced the pound, and the American Navy went to all those seas that for two centuries had been British waves. Since then, America has been writing the rules for the world.

Even in the midst of the first Cold War (a second Cold War is underway with China), America continued to write and break rules, build and undermine “international” institutions, protect international peace and wage wars. The world accepted those American rules as an international status quo of justice and peace, and turned a blind eye to many realities.

After the fall of the Berlin Wall, American unipolarity was confirmed, and Iraq had to be “crushed” in front of the cameras so that the world could see the unlimited extent of the tyranny of the unipolar power.

Once upon a time, illegal immigrants, who would become Americans, rode across the vast continent on their horses, shooting guns. They owned the vast, rich land. They haven’t changed much, and “I have a horse, I have a gun” is still the moral code of America. Why don’t we occupy Canada, Gaza, and Greenland since we have enough guns and horses?

The world is not a one-way street, and the rules of the game have changed as America sinks into debt of over $35 trillion and the US federal government owes Communist China close to a trillion dollars.

There are enough horses and guns in the whole world to destroy the earth eighty times over, according to an old calculation by Garaudy. You cannot command the world at will just because you have a lot of horses and guns.

America has never been so paranoid. Afraid of good goods, the god-state builds walls and ditches to keep good goods out. Afraid of German cars, Korean cell phones and French wine.

America has discovered that its warships spread over 95% of the world’s seas – as Joseph Nye boasted – will not protect its economy or its wealth. What is interesting about this global party in which Trump is dancing alone – so far – is that China, the dictatorship, represents the voice of reason.

The torch that Kennedy said he would carry to every home in the world we saw yesterday in the form of a miserable fireplace behind Netanyahu and Trump as they talked about turning Gaza into a tourist riviera.

America has long been hiding behind the curtain of the “rules-based international order.” The white clown has come out from behind the curtain and said he will sanction the International Criminal Court, withdraw from the World Health Organization, from the Paris Climate Agreement, from the UN Human Rights Council, and abolish USAID.

He will stop supporting UNRWA, and will do much more, occupy countries, punish markets, and give the West Bank to illegal immigrants from Poland and Ukraine. Yesterday he wrote on his account: Let's go back to plastic. That is, goodbye to all environmental and climate policies.

America, terrified of good goods, as we understand from a distress letter Musk wrote to the Biden administration a year ago and published by Reuters, is sinking into isolationism, and will soon have to reap the price of its foolish battles against the whole world.

As for Tel Aviv, which believes that it will achieve its biblical dreams on the back of the raging orange horse, it must realize that the loss will not befall the horse alone. When World War I broke out, Britain controlled 24% of the world, and here it has become what we see.

Until Trump’s inauguration, America was effectively sanctioning 60 countries in the world. Now, with the sanctions it will impose on the European Union, America’s sanctions will affect two-thirds of the world.

It was necessary to see Trump to see how the rules and balances have changed, to see the American panic in honest eyes that are not ashamed of the truth. Trump promises America to stop all those who "exploited us and took our wealth", especially the allies.

This stupidity reminds me of an old joke that goes:
Hajj Saeed had a crazy son named Taha. Once, while the guests were having lunch, a ram entered and started running around the place. Taha ran after the ram to catch it, but the crazy Taha stepped on the plates, glasses, guests, and children’s heads. So Hajj Saeed shouted at the people: “Catch Taha and leave the ram! Catch Taha and leave the ram!”
