MAGA means American imperialism
31-12-2025As I wrote in my previous entry, making America great again, means for a superpower like the United States an imperialist foreign policy. The attacks on Venezuela and the abduction of President and Lady Madura are the first clear example of the annouced revival of the Monroe Doctrine. Trump's anouncement of conquering Greenland, if necessary by force of arms, is no joke. If implemented, it shall be the end of NATO. Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty of 1949 deals with self-defence against an attack from outside, not from one ally against an other one. We Europeans ought to take Trump's anouncement seriously. His MAGA and multilateral cooperation don't go together. Trump dislikes NATO multilateral cooperation as much as UNO multilateralism.
