Trump’s second term Washington, your guide for what tools for business and world

We have lived in one of the most peaceful periods in the modern history. 2005, According to the Uppsala Conflict Information Program, Since the Second World War Since the Armed Clashes saw the least registered deaths. How much it changes. Last year, there were 61 “state-based conflict”, since 1946, the Institute of Peace Research is notified Oslo. Add the Israeli-Iran conflict now. Why are there so much war?

The only thing that is worse than a biased and cruel police force is no police force. The world faced the change in this century. The 1990s was the admiration of two global police in the United States and the United Nations. After Iraq, after the occupation of Kuwait in 1990, the UN resolutions will expel the authorized member states. In this decade, the American police patrolley the world and looking for a monopoly near international violence. “International Community” (meaning of US plus friends) only tolerates only civil war in inhable arena: Somalia, Rwanda, Yugoslavia.

Peace standards were banned in the late 1990s, and the International Criminal Court was established. However, in 2003, the occupation of the United States and both police officers: In the absence of the US, the United States himself created a local tab in the United States. Evaluating themselves with China and Russia, the “international community” was resolved.

The world’s illegal appeared in August 2013, Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad’s Sarin gas was used to kill 1,400 people around Damascus. Barack Obama warned that chemical attacks would be a “red line”. But he did not move; American police retired. Six months later Vladimir Putin was occupied Ukraine.

States were illegally, civilians were killed, but only a price paid. Imagine that “an international community” or Putin or Putin or “terrorism” or Ruammed Bin Salman or Ruammed Bin Salman, Ruamed Bin Salman or Israel’s “UN Security Council” Properly sitting in the Indo-Pakistan, Ukraine and Gaza. Steven Everts, director of the EU Institute of Security Studies, “It is the norm that violence cannot use for resolving political conflicts. And this is contagious.”

America already claims to respect the norms. Iran’s bombing Without the consent of the Congress or the UN, it violates both the US Constitution and international law. Donald Trump, except Iran, endures all international aggressors. So far, the only conflict zone where “boots on the ground” is Los Angeles.

Trump also closed the adopted dysfunctional global police. Heads in the National Security Council, State Department and Intelligence Bodies, and a 22-year-old campaign employee, headed the Antiterrorist Department of Homeland Security. Washington’s extensive security complex was replaced by a real estate developer Steve WitkoffIn New York Deli, the first of the Trump came to the warning of the Sandwich. Witkoff, Ukraine, Gaza and Iran could not hit peace deals at the same time. Israel was planned for war with Iran; The United States was simply behind it.

In this world in a normal way in a normal way, a new weapon has been cheaper and easier. In 2018, there were more than 1,000 open murders in the world. Today, Drones are about 70 percent of deaths in the Ukrainian war.

Poor Ukraine calls himself with some justification in Drone Warfare in the World Leader. Aimed at producing 4.5 million drones this year. Even Yemen’s Houthi rebels can fuel global inflation by the ships Dalran. Using a cave using a cave using Chinese commercial drives in Myanmar, using Chinese commercial drives, searching for researchers from the Institute of Strategy and Technology.

Drones are improving month by changing geopolitical calculation. The dominant manufacturer of trade drones can use the military collection along with a military collection to subjugate the Taiwan without needing a bloody marine occupation. The future, the EU, which is controlled by the EU control, which is not opened, can also go to the hands of terrorists.

What can be done? Everts says there is no global police, we can appoint some regions, such as a kind of European neighborhood hours. All will feel fragile. Normalism is a historical norm in international work. A brief happy aberation then returned.
