Trump has thrown into the trash in a matter of days the close relations of cooperation and economic trust that America had built thanks to decades of tireless work by a series of American Presidents and other statesmen.
One of the most careful American political commentators, Farid Zakaria, has a very clear idea of the diplomatic row that took place in the Oval Office between President Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine. According to the commentator, Zelensky, an emotional type and stressed by years of war in his country, should have remained calm and implemented a different strategy than the one of arguing with the two highest US leaders in their office. He should have publicly declared that Trump is the greatest, the most capable and the only one who can solve the Ukrainian crisis. According to Zakaria, after these praises, Zelensky should have brought with him the highest medal of Ukraine and hung it around the neck of the American president in front of the cameras. Only in this way would he escape the trap that had been set for him.
Beyond the elegant irony of Farid Zakaria, it was no coincidence that Donald Trump had that televised altercation with Volodymyr Zelensky in his own home. An absolute precedent in US diplomatic history. First, because as many serious American media outlets have reported, everything was prepared in advance by the host, in the form of a public trial for the Ukrainian president, whom he has had on his blacklist for many years. Since then, when the American Democrats organized the first impeachment against Trump. And Zelensky was at the center of that political altercation, as Trump was accused of having asked him for compromising information about his opponent Biden's son, Hunter, who had business activities in Ukraine. Those who know Trump say that since then he has carried within himself a feeling of hatred and antipathy for Zelensky, whom he considers a weak comedian, who does not at all resemble the strongman of the Kremlin, whom Trump openly adores.
Second, that heated argument could only happen under a Trump presidency because if you look at what he has said and done since November 6, when he won the election, you understand that the most powerful man in the world has come with the intention of overthrowing everything, regardless of the rubble he may create along the way. In short, the world has gone mad for the president.
In the space of three months, Donald Trump has announced that he will reclaim the Panama Canal, then annex Greenland, continues to say that Canada will become the 51st state of the US, just as he has declared that all countries of the BRICS alliance (Russia, China, Iran, South Africa and Brazil) will be punished with 100% tariffs on goods they export to the United States. By the way, even the Gulf of Mexico is now called the Gulf of America with President Trump's signature and seal!
But it doesn't end there. It's just begun. In pursuit of the American "colonial" dream, he seeks to take control of Gaza, building luxury hotels and residential areas on a land bathed in the blood of over 60,000 murdered people (mostly women and children) where the world's richest people will rest. Of course, a giant Trump Tower will pierce the sky in the center of the territory! And to close the series of absurdities, in two months he has destroyed historical relations with Europe and NATO!
You have to be mentally unbalanced to post videos created with artificial intelligence on the official profiles of the US presidency showing the American president drinking cocktails with Prime Minister Netanyahu on the Gaza coast. Cynicism of a scale that only artificial intelligence, with its icy algorithms, can reproduce without being disgusting.
Trump's declared war on historical Western allies and neighbors, Europe, Canada and Mexico, is perhaps the most incomprehensible and absurd chapter of the current US presidency. Nothing essential has changed with China, relations with Russia are warming up to the point that the official American position is now unclear as to who caused the war in Ukraine, Ukraine itself or Russia?! Even UN resolutions see the whole world against Russia, America and Eritrea and North Korea! Trump is getting closer to those whom America has regularly called opponents and enemies and is moving away from historical friends and allies. From those who, for the sake of US interests, sent soldiers and were killed in the caves of Afghanistan or the scorching deserts of the Euphrates.
With a stroke of the pen, driven by his historic obsession with tariffs on imported goods to the US, Donald Trump has thrown into the trash in a matter of days the close relations of cooperation and economic trust that America had built thanks to the tireless work of decades of a series of Presidents and other American statesmen. The country's basic doctrine, which saw the US as the leading country in the free world, has collapsed and transatlantic relations have been severely damaged.
The basic doctrine of the Euro-Atlantic security umbrella identified with NATO has also fallen, to the point that now no one knows whether the US is still willing to implement, for example, Article 5 of the Washington Treaty for the protection of any NATO member in the event of an external attack.
Ndërkohë vetë Trump, mes shumë marrëzive që prodhon çdo ditë, tha edhe më të fundit: Evropa e Bashkuar u krijua për të dëmtuar SHBA! Një projekt i ngritur pas Luftës së Dytë botërore për të instaluar paqen mes shtetesh që prej shekujsh luftonin mes vetes, përfshirë edhe dy luftra botërore, shihet nga kreu i Shtëpisë së Bardhë si projekt antiamerikane! Është e rrezikshme të jesh armik i Amerikës, por është fatale të jesh mik i saj, thoshte dikur Henri Kissinger, a thua se kishte parasysh pikërisht këtë situatë aktuale absurde.
Vakuumi i sforcuar që Trump po krijon në marrëdhëniet me fqinjët dhe aleatët perëndimorë po i jep shumë shpejt efektet e veta, të cilat do të ndjehen në një hark kohor shumëvjeçar. Kanadaja po afrohet me Evropën, kjo e fundit po shpejton të ndërtojë një strategji emergjente të sigurisë e mbrojtjes, ndërkohë që të gjitha këto qendra të mëdha ekonomie dhe pushteti, të lëna zbuluar nga aleanca 80 vjeçare me Amerikën, po kthehen në klientë potencialë të Kinës. Mënyrë e çuditshme për ta bërë Amerikën “sërish të madhe” duke i prerë të gjitha urat që e lidhin me miqtë e aleatët. Nëse do ta prishësh pozitën ndërkombëtare e cila të ka parë si vendin lider që nga mbarimi i Luftës së Dytë Botërore, kjo e Donald Trump është receta perfekte.
Në një cep të Evropës ku ndodhemi edhe ne shqiptarët, zbatica amerikane mund të krijojë së afërmi probleme që deri dje as që mendoheshin. Revista gjermane Bild botonte disa ditë më parë plane që sipas saj po studiohen në Uashington, për tërheqjen e trupave amerikane nga rajoni ynë. Përtej faktit që trumpistët e shumtë shqiptarë do të kishin rastin të kuptonin sesa kot dhe në mënyrë absurde kishin bërë tifo në distancë për Trump, në një dimension shumë serioz faktori shqiptar do të gjendej në një situatë tejet delikate e të rrezikshme nëse SHBA bënte një hap prapa nga garancitë që ka dhënë deri tani në fushën e sigurisë për Kosovën dhe Ballkanin. Amerikanët janë elementi bazë i sigurisë në rajonin tonë dhe një tërheqje e tyre do të hapte skenare potencialisht të frikshme për të ardhmen.
Kjo epokë vetmie do të shënonte potencialisht rrëzimin e marrëveshjes së Dejtonit e marrëveshjeve të tjera të mëvonshme që rregullojnë statu quonë në Kosovë dhe Ballkan, duke prodhuar një konfigurim krejt të ri të raportit të forcave mes shteteve të Ballkanit Perëndimor dhe të tretëve (Rusinë), me fokus tek marrëdhënia e serbëve me Kosovën e Bosnjen.
Donald Trump ka vendosur se në katër vjet mund të kthejë përmbys botën, ashtu siç e njohim në 80 vjetët e fundit. Ka vendosur edhe që Perëndimi i duhet i përçarë e jo i bashkuar siç jemi mësuar ta shohim. Ka një obsesion të sëmurë se të gjithë, evropianë e fqinj ja kanë me hile Amerikës dhe se ai ka ardhur në atë post për të ndrequr një padrejtësi kozmike që i ka rënë mbi krye SHBA për shkak të miqve të saj.
This seems like a bad bet that he has made with history, ignoring the consequences and not calculating any possible boomerang effect. Let's see where he will lead his country and others who will pay the turbulence of a policy that so far seems focused on improvisation, unbridled ego and disregard for any law or norm. The image of Elon Musk walking around Washington offices with a bunch of guys with laptops in their hands who take away funds and fire people from their jobs without asking about either the law or the institutions of the state, is the most found metaphor of this absurdity that has taken over the mind of the world's greatest power.
