The Road To Modern Wars

President Trump pursues a policy combining military threat with economic warfare and his aim is to restore American hegemony especially in view of the rising contender: China.

"Trump's war rhetoric is very popular with his audiences and is a step beyond Obama's statement about American exceptionalism. In New Hampshire, Trump nearly declared war on China as he stated: 'Take a look at China what they have done, they have taken our money, our jobs, our base, our manufacturing, and we owe them 1.5 trillion dollars that's like a magic act, they have taken everything, and we owe them money.'".

"Mr Trump did not tell his audience that bringing back jobs comes at a cost. China's GDP per capita is around 7,500 dollars, while the GDP per capita of the US is about 55,000 dollars. The China rhetoric is unambiguous; China stole what belongs to the US, and there is no need to repay US debt owed to China. The world should brace for Mr Trump as the 45th president of the USA.".

President Trump wants to dictate to the whole world taking into account the fact that the United States is now in conflict with Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, Syria, Russia, China and North Korea, a big war is not to be expected any time soon, so much so that the military interventions in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Yemen and Libya appear to be inconclusive.

Iran, Turkey, Russia and China can arm factions within Europe and thus destabilize these countries from the inside, as the Americans have done in Syria.

The coalition forged by Tehran with Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq is viewed as a direct threat to Israel, which means that Tel Aviv will sooner or later have President Trump bomb Iran.

Though most of Trump's supporters are not interested in a war with Iran, the tensions are likely to escalate.
