Kenties Trumpin vaaliteemat kuten, rajat kiinni, hyvä että UK eroaa EU:sta, EU on paha ja ei kansainvälisiä sitoumuksia ovat saaneet jotkut samaistumaan Trump:iin. Ei noilla USA:n teemoilla ja niiden taustoilla siellä ole kovin paljoa tekemistä Suomen maanpuolustuksen kanssa. Konteksti on Euroopassa eri. Tosiasiassa, Trump ei ole saanut mitään muuta kuin kaaosta aikaan liittolaistensa välisissä suhteissa.
Liitteenä USA:n kansallisen turvallisuuden vuosiraportti 2019, josta löytyy mielenkiintoisia kannanottoja Trumpin kansainväliseen politiikkaan ja miten se vaikuttaa USA:han.
Globaalisti:
"China and Russia are more aligned than at any point since the mid-1950s, and the relationship is likely to strengthen in the coming year as some of their interests and threat perceptions converge, particularly regarding perceived US unilateralism and interventionism and Western promotion of democratic values and human rights. As China and Russia seek to expand their global influence, they are eroding once well- established security norms and increasing the risk of regional conflicts, particularly in the Middle East and East Asia. At the same time, some US allies and partners are seeking greater independence from Washington in response to their perceptions of changing US policies on security and trade and are becoming more open to new bilateral and multilateral partnerships."
Liittyen Eurooppaan:
"The United Kingdom’s scheduled exit from the EU on 29 March 2019, European Parliament elections in late May, and the subsequent turnover in EU institutional leadership will limit the ability of EU and national leaders to contend with increased Russian and Chinese efforts to divide them from one another and from the United States.
- If the United Kingdom’s exit from the EU takes place as scheduled, it would remove one of the institution’s key voices for strong sanctions policy toward Russia and market liberalism, as well as one of its most capable foreign and security policy actors.
- Russia and China are likely to intensify efforts to build influence in Europe at the expense of US interests, benefiting from the economic fragility of some countries, transatlantic disagreements, and a probable strong showing by anti-establishment parties in the European Parliament elections in late May 2019. Some member states favor a softening of Russian sanctions and probably will resist efforts to tighten investment screening."
Pandemioista:
"We assess that the United States and the world will remain vulnerable to the next flu pandemic or large- scale outbreak of a contagious disease that could lead to massive rates of death and disability, severely affect the world economy, strain international resources, and increase calls on the United States for support."
"The growing proximity of humans and animals has increased the risk of disease transmission. The number of outbreaks has increased in part because pathogens originally found in animals have spread to human populations."
Ilmastosta:
"Global environmental and ecological degradation, as well as climate change, are likely to fuel competition for resources, economic distress, and social discontent through 2019 and beyond. Climate hazards such as extreme weather, higher temperatures, droughts, floods, wildfires, storms, sea level rise, soil degradation, and acidifying oceans are intensifying, threatening infrastructure, health, and water and food security. Irreversible damage to ecosystems and habitats will undermine the economic benefits they provide, worsened by air, soil, water, and marine pollution."
Tuo raportti on julkaistu tammikuussa 2019, aikaa ennen koronaa. Daniel Coats, joka byroota veti on republikaani. 2020 vuoden raporttia ei edelleenkään ole julkaistu. Valkoinen talo on sen estänyt.
