Donald Trump begins to actively give out his old campaign promises in order to gather the former electorate in the US presidential elections. In an interview Federal News Agency said the director of the Institute of Contemporary State Development Dmitry Solonnikov.
So the interlocutor of the FAN commented on the statement of the head of the White House filled with pacifism that, that the US military will no longer "restore justice" in distant countries and "resolve other people's conflicts". According to him, Washington will return to the old principles, according to which the task of the armed forces is the defense and defense of the United States from external enemies.
"We are ending the era of endless wars", - announced the American leader during his speech to the graduates of the military academy at West Point in New York State.
Thus, Trump actually returned to the ideas adopted by almost 200 years ago, at 1823 year, "Monroe doctrine" — a document, proclaiming Washington's non-intervention in the affairs of Europe and the Old World as a whole (at the same time, the doctrine declared North and South America a zone of exclusive interests of the United States).
"Of course, that would be a big twist, if Trump's words somehow corresponded to that, what happens next in US politics, - did not believe in the sincerity of the head of the White House Solonnikov. - you can remember, that's the same thing he said, when he went to the presidential elections 4 years ago. Then he promised to return American soldiers from Afghanistan and Syria. (the withdrawal of troops from the SAR was proclaimed later - two military jeeps even managed to leave from there “under the cameras” towards the Jordanian border). But it's been a long time, and the train, as the saying goes, and now there. Even the announced withdrawal from Iraq at the beginning of this year did not take place.”.
The political scientist called Trump's speech "loud, beautiful and about nothing ”- no specific actions, in his opinion, will not follow. But it could also be a "signal" to the US European allies., that from now on they have to deal with their problems on their own.
“Similar messages have been received before., - said the expert. - But they came down, usually, only to that, that Europe should pay more money to the United States for the presence of American troops on its territory. Likely, the same will happen this time.”.
FAN's interlocutor is convinced, that the President of the United States will not try to put his words into practice even for the period of the election campaign: According to him, Trump has bigger things to do now, related primarily to the restoration of the economy of the state entrusted to him.
"For the remaining 4 month he will have to do something about the colossal unemployment, - noted Solonnikov. - What else is the withdrawal of troops? The American president already has a lot to worry about.”.
