The “achievements” of U.S. foreign policy…

"Достижения" внешней политики США…

… under the new President differ reflex sudden and chaotic impotence. The inauguration of D. trump on 20 January 2017, acquaintance with the current problems on the international level began even earlier. Five months is enough time to assess the foreign policy efforts of Washington at least a preliminary way and on the main lines.

The pre-election thesis “Build a wall on the border with Mexico for Mexican!” safely forgotten. The Mexican government refused to pay for the construction of protective structures and of the attempts of negotiations on the subject – with broad public approval on both sides of the border. At the Federal level, the construction of the South Wall “from illegal immigrants and drug traffickers” has not begun.

But I started a new confrontation with Cuba, the duty and a priori futile requirements to Havana. Normalization of us-Cuban relations is barely a year old, specific content, it will be filled simply do not have time. Just resumed work mission control color revolutions and anti-constitutional coups (i.e. the U.S. Embassy) in the Caribbean country. At sunset the unipolar world threat to the Cuban address naive. The country experienced a century of severe sanctions and all the “charms” of the disintegration of world system of socialism.

The prohibition of entry to the USA nationals seven dangerous States of Asia and Africa took place on 27 January 2017, a week after the arrival of the President No. 45 to the White House. One of the first foreign decrees D. trump is an amazing selection of artfully-anti-American countries. Dozens of States sent to the United States many terrorist delegates and the forbidden list is not ranked.

Edge sanctions against Iran, Somalia, Libya, Yemen, Sudan, Iraq and Syria in February 2017 cancelled several decisions of the several courts of the United States. The Executive had exceeded its powers, in the past four months and not being able to lobby for an entry ban of at least scanty.

The bombing of the Syrian air base Shirt during the Chinese President’s visit to the ranch of D. trump has not led to the submission of Damascus or to the loyalty of Beijing. Winged plaque flagrantly violated international law and did not really affected the fighting ability of the Syrian air force. The offensive activity of the Syrian army against a motley of terrorists has only increased as the rigidity of the Chinese position on the disputed Islands in the South China seas.

Reset the “mother of all bombs” in the Afghan province of Nangarhar again became unconvincing and one-time PR campaign. Ammunition weighing 9.5 tons got radical jihadists. Probably. Details of its use are classified, and access to the epicenter of the explosion is still banned today. But is known for a strong response to the terrorists, the demoralization of the Afghan security forces, the spring offensive by the Taliban (banned in the Russian organization), and plans for entry into Afghanistan an additional contingent of US Army. Numbering 4,000 soldiers and officers.

All the numerous allies of the United States declined to resume its participation in the Afghan adventure.

Sending aircraft carrier squadron to the coasts of Korea, increasing its striking power and open threats Pyongyang had absolutely no effect on missile tests last. On the contrary, North Korea has increased the intensity of the exercises, demonstrative ballistic launches and retaliatory threats to wipe out the aggressor and its satellites from the Earth. Aircraft carrier connections, the US Navy sailed to Australia, returned to the Korean Peninsula, conducted exercises to monitor missile launches through his own head, and returned safe to base.

As a result of his failed bluff – the refusal of South Korea from the American missile defense system THAAD, yet partial. The attempt military pressure on Pyongyang broke down completely.

Months of threats against Iran has still not led to the abolition of nuclear agreement signed by the previous administration. With the active participation of all permanent members of the UN security Council and the IAEA. In may and June 2017, three times the U.S. air force launched a missile and bomb strikes on Pro-Iranian armed groups in Syria.

It should be noted that these units are fighting in Iraq and Syria, with notorious Caliphate with the approval of the governments of these countries. US troops are in Northern and southern Syria is completely illegal. However, bombing the Goodies of democracy was as completely useless. Controlled by Iran forces have taken control of several checkpoints on the Syrian-Iraqi border. Ignoring the political outrage and the armed assaults of the former planetary hegemon.

The next NATO summit will remember the award of the Prime Minister of Montenegro Regal kick of the American President. Ingratiating recruits should know his place, all other Alliance members must contribute to the American military-industrial complex. At least 2% of GDP, which means up to 10-12% of budget revenues. The problem is that the joyful report “the Us and three per cent on the shoulder!” voiced only by representatives of Poland and Lithuania. About 20 NATO member States with loyal subjects reports crumple and financial huddle.

Standard of 2% moves by the US authorities for more than 20 years and successfully laid by Europeans in the boxes a long wait. To reverse this tradition, the White House has not yet succeeded. Malicious saboteurs, NATO is not planning a serious (in many countries, multiple!) increase in military spending.

Foreign policy successes of the new U.S. administration has been reduced to sell Saudi Arabia and Qatar weapons – 380 and 24 billion dollars respectively. In the course of open confrontation between the two oil-rich countries on the basis of terrorist sponsorship. How feasible data gun memorandums, it is difficult to judge. Chain reflex stock on the world stage, spraying melting resources, forgetfulness to the solid promises and the lack of consistency is not encouraging and the hottest supporters of the “Make America Great Again”.

Management of a weakening global policeman with a fierce and powerful internal opposition, without experience and formed a team was much more complicated management of a major concern.

In June 2017, the U.S. Senate passed a bill on new sanctions against Iran and Syria. With the approval of the US State Department, i.e., professional service for foreign Affairs. While overseas assessors introduce a punishment against European concerns over energy cooperation with Russia. Without the consent or even discussion with your loved ones and valued allies in Europe.

The EU has raised the indignant storm, initiated by the authorities of Germany and Austria. Previous sanctions pretty cute called “policies”, new ideas of senators rejected as “attempted interference in the economic sovereignty of Europe.”

Instead of pushing the Old world to the Atlantic, there is a unity of mutiny on the chaotic ransacking the ship. When in the captain’s cabin, the raging scandal, the boss of the elusive hackers, rattling high-level resignation and I plates with promises of impeachment – all the more willing to keep away from the dangerous ship.

The ship is still huge and powerful, but dangerous to your own team, no less than numerous geopolitical rivals.
