In the sight - Russia. She encroached on American "values"

The American president delivered his first message to the US Congress on the Situation of the Country. The title sounds like the headline of a war report. The content corresponds to the headline: Trump declared Russia a “threat” and an adversary of American “values”.

In the sight - Russia. She encroached on American "values"


It seems that the American president is either preparing for war, or is already waging it. At least, the enemies are clearly and unambiguously marked. These enemies are not only dissatisfied with the great America, but also have the courage to resist it. In everything. Even in the economy. Around Americans are crowded, and they must give an answer to the "challenges".

According to Mr. Trump, Russia, together with China, threatens the interests and economy of the United States. Moreover, the Russians oppose American “values.”

Having identified opponents and competitors, Trump made theses, which can be described as policy statements. And it was not by chance that they were voiced precisely in the first message of the president to the US Congress, entitled "On the Situation of the Country."

Mr. Trump sees this situation as follows: it is necessary to abandon the idea of ​​cutting the Pentagon budget and begin to modernize the nuclear arsenal.

The danger comes not only from Russians and Chinese. The United States is also confronted with “rogue regimes” (meaning primarily North Korea, and second, Iran) and terrorist groups (meaning unfinished “IS”, banned in Russia).

All these threats can only be countered by force. To do this, the United States must have power equal to which the world would not exist. Such and such power will become a “sure means” of defense. Together with the restructuring of nuclear arsenals, US military power will help contain "any acts of aggression," the president assured the congressmen.

He further logically noted that it is too early to think about the concept of a nuclear-free world. And even he called the very possibility of this in the future a “magical moment”, thereby making it clear that he was completely and completely passionate about the idea of ​​not peace, but militarism.

Among Trump's military theses, including the idea of ​​nuclear rearmament and modernization of arsenals, there were absolutely no concepts related to the field of diplomacy. This is not surprising: Donald Trump is a figure copying the behavior and strategy of R. Reagan, the president who considered the USSR an evil empire and predicted the collapse of Soviet communism (the forecast, by the way, came true).

Reagan theorized on Star Wars, and the military budget inflated to a record 10% of total US budget spending. Trump, inherited from Obama sequestered defense spending, is trying to imitate his Republican idol. Therefore, there is not the slightest chance that Washington will go on rapprochement with Moscow during the reign of Trump.

Those who arm themselves and make America “great again” at the expense of the military-industrial complex must have some kind of enemy in their sight. And better - a few.
