Your guide to what the American elections mean 2024 for Washington and the world

Do as I say or might be crazy enough to detonate everyone. This is the essence of the Playbook book, Dr. Strangeloove – who behaves a soldier who will scare your enemies to concessions. In the film, US -resident generals provide dollars by the Soviet Union. Donald Trump is unlikely to fire nuclear weapons. But it will definitely be happy if others think it might be. Also, it is not crazy to believe that the Stanjelovian approach may work. I served him well for the first 78 years.

There is no need to renovate how Trump’s bankruptcy threatened sequentially during the casino days, or how supporters stormed the Capitol Hill to stop the scream of a crowd to re -election. The play was a routine tool for Trump’s profession. Do not give the middle finger to your creditors; Avoid at any cost describing the falling soldiers as losers. If Trump responded to such advice, he would not be president. On his mind, reasonable people are ignorant of power and negotiation. “It is the rational optimistic that fails, and the illogical optimism that succeeds,” GK Chesteton wrote. “He is ready to destroy the entire universe for itself.”

Trump’s first week’s reactions in his position are unknown due to the inability to predict. The ice collapse of executive orders, collective releases and a full pledge to enter into a new golden age would have aimed to give shock and the impression that it was reshaping the world. One of the billionaires in Trump comparison His first seven days to the Almighty. In fact, Trump’s Grand victory – to secure the ceasefire deal in Gaza – came several days before its opening (or said, “Let’s be light!”, Depending on your grip on reality). Hamas nor the Israelis did not care that Joe Biden was paying a ceasefire for several months. With Trump, they obeyed in advance.

Trump can also claim that Colombia was shocked to accept his conditions for sending illegal immigrants. But the ethics of the scrap at the end of last week is more blurry. Trump announced the war of customs tariffs and a visa ban on the South American Republic after it refused to accept two American military planes carrying two departments. President Gustavo Petro responded with pink insults while calmly sent a civilian plane to collect it. Trump’s braid, victory dance. In fact, Colombia has accepted hundreds of response trips in recent years, which means that Petro has not waived much. However, other countries may think twice before Trump crossed.

European Denmark neighbors were also asked to rethink their ideas about standing into the fatwas. Trump was shocked by Mitty Friedrixen, the Danish Prime Minister, Harngana For 45 minutes earlier this month about the reason the United States obtained Greenland, an independent Danish region. The initial position will be for France, Britain and others to connect weapons to Denmark and say, “It is enough! America cannot trample on the sovereignty of other countries.” But this will be something crazy, right? Their actual response was expected. Liberal democracies in Europe are behaving exactly how Trump expects – while eliminating the source of the problem. Perhaps they also called on Trump to continue.

The biggest test issue is the Panama Channel, where the United States is linked to the treaty to accept Panamania. Even if Trump is highlighting Panama to cancel her ports contracts with CK Hutchison, Hong Kong’s clusters can be his victory. The President of Panama was more powerful than his Danish counterpart. So you have Panama’s neighbors. In contrast to the outgoing Justin Trudeau in Canada, Mexico President Claudia Shinbom has set a border before Trump took office in her brave response to his threat to the war of tariffs. Columbia was also stubborn. It is not a coincidence that a Chinese diplomat on Sunday said that Chinese Colombia’s relations were 45 years old.

In the short term, Trump’s tactics can result in more than Biden victories, which seemed diplomacy of best in practice. The Europeans are likely to intensify defensive spending for fear of Trump’s anger. He said that Russia could “do everything they want against hell” with allies who spend very little. However, over time, Trump will be cultivated and does not trust the word America. The deals will start dehydration. Large parts of the world have long abandoned the idea of ​​the United States -led international system, making them outperform the rise of the “ugly American”. However, they will search for insurance. It will not be surprising that China will be in the near future to gain more friends and influence the hemisphere.
