The Guardian view on Trump’s foreign policy: an alarming new order takes shape | Editorial
NIn the idea of Donald Trump that Gaza should come Under the control of the United States It makes sense in accordance with the laws in force and the rules of international relations. But the current White House system despises the old way to do things and intends to reshape the world significantly so that the restoration of pre -traump is impossible.
Non -identical Mr. Trump’s suggestion The United States “takes over” Gaza does not make it less evil. The condition of resettlement of 2.2 million Palestinians in the neighboring Arab countries amounts to unambiguous support from criminal brutality – ethnic cleansing.
The idea that the land, which was requested by the US government, will then turn into the Mediterranean “Riviera” is worrying and strange in its separation from reality. Mr. Trump treats a war zone in the midst of one of the most conflicts that suffer from the world, as if it were a group of deserted properties in Manhattan. He plays with the lives of millions of people in the expression of the developer of corrupt property and with the methods and morals of the mafia coach.
The inevitable result of dealing with complex international issues with the cruel simplicity and the village is to spread fear, uncertainty and instability. It adds unjustified fluctuations at the moment when the opposite approach is necessary to preserve Firing In Gaza.
Every government in the Middle East, with the exception of Benjamin Netanyahu’s non -national alliance in Israel, refuses to intervene Mr. Trump as dangerous and opposite results. This is also the opinion of the European-European allies-or the countries that considered themselves two weeks ago with free thinking allies in the United States, but now they see no This concept exists In the mind of the president.
He only gets to know clients, competitors and enemies. It is possible to move between these groups by spreading compliments and providing their services. But the durable alignment based on the mutual interest, the obligations of the law -binding treaty and democratic values is a model that no longer has a currency in the White House.
This is a huge batch of geopolitical aspirations Russia and China. It justifies a right -wing right approach to international relations. It is prescribed this type of seizure of the imperialist lands that Vladimir Putin is following in Ukraine. For Beijing, the era of American non -reliability provides profitable ways of economic and strategic expansion. China sees void of itself as a most predictable great power in the world.
There is a common rationalization that explains its recklessness that the opening is moving in negotiation. Consequently, his most strange ideas, such as American customization in Gaza, are cleared as free improvisation for a “transactions” businessman. It was photographed as a master at the edge of the abyss that uses shock and chaos for wrong opponents before settlementIn the end, for more discreet results.
This analysis looks increasingly naive, even if it is falling with the president’s self -image. It may be believed to be only “deals”, but others should be clear that the correct terms are coercion and blackmail.
There are many examples of the volatile Portentates history that publishes the turmoil in its territory and abroad. There is no precedent for this that happens to the strongest democracy in the world, and there is no playing book to direct the allies of that previous country in dealing with the situation. But there is one clear thing now – hoping that America will be determined by Mr. Trump to follow the old rules that are not a safe strategy.
