Last week, Ukrainian President Vloadimir Jelnsky’s attack last week is conducting a frenzy search for a Historical Tihasik view.

It was obviously more tragic than it happened in the first term of Donald Trump. But is it worse than the oppression of the anti -terrorism global war under George W. Bush? Richard Nixon’s Breton Woods system worse than disrupting the system? Or the abusive bombing of Cambodia and Laos in the United States? During World War II, the numerous cool war coup or brutal bids are more serious than the failure?

The US has just been more than 100 years worldwide and it has not been a simple ferry. The first bump of the street was a catastrophic. In 9, a Republican Congress refused to approval with the Versailles’ agreement and IT President Woodro Wilson’s League of Nations. “Red Square”, Race riots, Scoops Monkey Trial and Ku Klax Clan’s regeneration of US diplomacy retreated from the world.

In the 1930s, the British and French governments to the right and left only faced the threat of Mussolini, Hitler and Imperial Japan. They kept their hope in democratic methods, long-term social balance, reasonable budget, operated currency and new technology-the Maginote lines and radars. Meanwhile, this hope was encouraged that it would encourage men to restrain the violence of the rational conservatives of Berlin, Rome and Tokyo. Was the United States willing to help? It wasn’t. The best proposal made by the Congress is the cash and carrying out. The European strategy failed to hold Hitler and exchanged a batch of second -hand destroyers for harasses in frustration in the United States. America’s interest in Greenland is in this period.

The moment of US power that we refended today by the global domination was very short – lasting in the early 1941 to the early 1960s. It was enlightened technocracy and an external -facing US business community. In Washington it was resting under the control of the New Deal Liberalism and the Democratic Party racist Jim Crowe South. The issue that dismissed was the end of American democracy with the civil rights law of 945. It alienated the South from the progressive Democrats and sent the white vote to the Republicans to slide.

Trump is a reactionary, a valid heir of national-popular strain that runs deep into US democracy. However, what is clear is that he is the most barbaric, self-disturbed, unknown to attract the White House. What went wrong?

The important thing is that the elite checks and balances have failed in the Republican Party. And because there is no strong leftist grassroots movement, the result of elite weakness in the United States is that democracy falls behind Cress Populism. A large part of the US voters will vote for anyone other than members of the liberal elite. A small, but still enough, the section is positively worshiped Trump. The added mobility comes from the fact that during his first term, Trump is opening the door to a new watchman who represents co-President JD Vans and Elon Kasturi.

Anyone who tracks the GOP extremist since the 1970s, remembered Newt Jingrich and Sara Palin and felt the fragile wrist of the American self-aggravated merit minister, it was seen that it was awaiting a catastrophe.

It has been clear for a while that a new and more restrained formula was needed for foreign policy in the United States. Bernie Sanders called for the end of American imperialism in the traditional way of Old US. Barack Obama was in favor of the restraint, though his Secretary of State of Hillary Clinton was in favor of a wide line.

Joe Biden supervised the exhausting of the American claim to the global leadership. The result was an administration that committed the United States to defend Ukraine, supported Israeli growth in the Middle East and fought with China. It satisfied Washington “Blob”, the Atlantists’ spirits and self -satisfaction in Europe were fed. However, despite the demand for a foreign policy for the US middle class of the Biden administration, the popular support for its approach was fragile.

Certainly Trump is a Vandel. But when he breaks the stability, he does not do anything but clearly confirmed – the elite alliance that has lost its political occupation in favor of US global leadership. If Europe wants something that it prefers to call a “rules-based order”, it needs to be made for itself.

At least in the compass of its own relationship with other regions of the world, Europe has a way to do this and has a political culture strong enough to maintain it. This week we have finally heard adequate answers in Berlin, the Chancellor-in-Waying Fredricich Merge agrees to a coalition program that will see a huge increase in defense expenditure. This is not a complete deal and it will not save Ukraine from the horror choice. However, it is possible that Europe may eventually be able to exceed Russia’s abusive fears and once more.
