In recent days, US President Donald Trump has really broken all the balance of the globe. The Korean, Iranian, climate, obamacare, UNESCO, Nafta and so on are all small pieces of a puzzle that struggles. Trump decided to touch them all together to make a new world puzzle, probably. Consistency is what distinguishes the White House tenant, he said in the electoral campaign, "America first" and so is doing. First American interests and then everything else. Previous administrations have been very active in international canvases for seemingly lasting peace, a stability that allowed them to keep the American public debt and the shadows of a unprecedented subprime financial crisis. In an international context of stability, there have been many countries that have bought part of the US public debt, China in the lead, and thanks to this "silent" barter they have been able to grow their trade and increase their international influence. In this panacea, the UN, imposed by the US, has only imposed sanctions and embargoes on non-aligned and strategically hostile countries. Iran, Russia, and North Korea are an example. These "puppet" embargos did not work, indeed they have shown that UN resolutions are nothing to do. Example is the question of German Siemens that sold gas turbines to Russia to deal with local energy issues with Ukraine. North Korea trade quietly with China and Koreans scattered around the world send their earnings directly to North Korea to support the regime. Russia, Turkey, Iran and Qatar have quietly increased trade exchanges to combat the various embargoes imposed. Saudi Arabia has entered into trade agreements for military supplies with the US for a counter value of tens of billions of dollars, but has also made agreements with Russia for missile defense systems S 400. Just with Russia, which is helping Qatar since last June is a boycott victim by the Gulf countries that have accused Doha of linking and providing aid to Islamic terrorism. Iran "Shiite" today makes business and helps the "Sunni" Qatar. In short there is no balance. Everyone makes their own interests for the survival of their respective nations. The US, who considered themselves as planetary security guards, loosened their world-persuading force. So many emerging superpowers using nuclear deterrence, such as commodity exchanges.
In the aforementioned context, the new international policy of Donald Trump, which is opposed by everyone from abroad and at home, is part of. Trump realized that the international situation is taking on dangerous connotations. In summary, too many cocks to sing. The United States of America today wants to redesign the world puzzle and return to being the balance needle for a lasting, real peace, returning all the "cocks" back to their own lands. It is a risky policy, but it must be carried out without delay, at least cost, even with new fronts of war. It must be made clear to all that the US, NATO and why not the European Union can really be the hard core for world stability. The United States of Europe, with a common defense policy, security and common foreign policy, could make a difference in the new international constituency. I hope that France, Germany and Italy will take over Europe in order to lead it, in a process of virtuous unification, towards a goal to be achieved quickly and if it is undertaken, it will see it as a safe and legitimate protagonist in the role of a new world superpower, free and independent of Anglo-Saxon conditioning and dictates.
All this is evident in the foresight of the most critically criticized political man, that Donald Trump, who in general ostracism, is trying to remedy years of underestimation of the international problems that his predecessor Obama has become responsible during his two presidential mandates. Pursuing the goal set during the election campaign with its "America First" slogan, Donald Trump, is not the "madman" often defined by his opponents, but determined to bring the United States back to the so-called "cabin of director" of world chess, and considering its good predisposition to our Europe, it would be unforgivable to stay out of the game even on this gloomy occasion.
