Trump Era Code
The new era of international Trump "Trump vs the Rest" is similar to the era before the Second World War, and it is heading to leave it for a new international era.
This is not only a conclusion or a foresight, but what Western academic, media and political periodicals say and emphasize, including French President Macron and the Secretary-General of the United Nations, who have recently referred to this.
If we want to define the code of the Trump era precisely, we say that it is a five-pillar code, starting with the concept and model of the clash of civilizations said by Bernard Lewis and Hengtington, and with it the emblem of Bush Jr. who is with us and against us, and the conditions Trump that "push and ride with us", "strike hard or step aside", and end with "Deja Vu".
Deja Vu means that the era of Trump feels similar to the era the world went through before the outbreak of World War II, whether with the rise of the red right-wing wave across continents, or with the international trade protectionism led by Trump following the 2008 financial crisis similar to the crisis of 1929;
Or the European crisis that Europe is suffering from today, as it was before the Second War, or with militarism and the decline of the democratic tide, or the Syrian war today that resembles the Spanish war of the day, or the expansion of the velayat-e faqih after Lausanne 2015, as Hitler expanded after Munich 1939.
The clash of civilizations that Bernard Lewis said in "The Roots of Islamic Rage" and Hengtington in his book of the same title, proved to be true and Fukuyama, who said he was in 1989, finally returned to it with his book The End of History.
Fukuyama wrote in Foreign Policy in August 2018 that despite the wave of globalization and democracy that extended after the end of the Cold War, the world is moving right from globalized classes to classes that have been marginalized and struggling for their national identities.
Samuel Hengtington says that the conflict does not end, and although he left the ideological and geopolitical conflict during the Cold War, he moved to the clash of cultures and civilizations, which coalesce in nations and states that are close in values to confront different civilizations and cultures.
As for the new current of trade protectionism, the Trump it leads, is waging a trade war against the whole world, hitting two birds with its stone.
A bird in his hand is charged by the right at home with the jobs it provides to its audience by canceling more than 20 bilateral and multiple trade agreements with the countries of the world, and a bird on the tree of the global right that Trump increases it by the loss of jobs by the public of countries.
The reason for the trade war waged by Trump against more than 60% of the world's countries, from China to Russia, Europe, South Korea, Japan, Canada and Mexico, dates back to the 2008 financial crisis brought by the two presidents in 2016, and pushed the world with him to turn right, as the Great Depression did in 1929.
Hence the Trump came out to the world with the slogan "Pay and ride with us" to our international era of Hodeidah, or we are not charged with protecting you, including the effort of all the continents of the world, after the slogan "one for all or all for one" ended at Trump or collective security or "open markets" brought about by the post-World War II world.
Although Trump moves the international order from the post-World War II era to a future international era, it is waging another war on the last revolutionary order in the world, which expanded in the post-Cold War world, just as Hitler expanded in the world between the two wars.
He Trump Iran repackaged U.S. sanctions issued by his predecessors, while circumventing all of Iran's circumventions of those sanctions, which include more than 700 individuals, companies, banks, planes, tankers, and ships.
All of them fly the flags of different countries in 30 countries in the Middle East, Asia, Europe, Latin America, and even in America itself, until Javad Zarif told the Iranian Chamber of Commerce: America has been able to stand on all our breathing points.
By doing so both with the world, and with Iran, targeting its regime and its revolutionary guard after withdrawing from the nuclear deal and imposing 12 conditions, Trump is acting on Bernard Lewis's slogan "Strike hard or step aside" that he told the White White House administration on the eve of the invasion of Iraq.
Trump is telling the world to leave Iran, get out of Iran, don't deal with Iran, and you have trillions of the American market in front of you, or I will punish anyone who communicates with Iran, and you are in the choice.
Iran also has the choice between getting out of the nuclear program or committing folly to form war, or succumbing to the conditions under the sword of sanctions and creating a new Lausanne.
And what does the world do with revolutionary Iran, which is targeted by Trump, and what does Iran do with the rest of the world after America withdrew from nuclear, because the world before and after America's withdrawal from nuclear is nothing but "compares" that does not replace Iran with anything.
This means that after the invasion of Syria and Yemen, Iran is heading despite its nose to the same path that Iraq went to after the invasion of Kuwait, and it is groaning at the sanctions packages and Pompeo's twelve conditions, which it will pay to the oil program for food as it was preceded by Iraq.
Is the world really inclined by the five-year Trump code to leave the world of globalization, liberalization, open markets, the factors of statelessness and every non-national authority, whether hostile to or hostile to the international order?
The answer to this question is a big "yes," says Trump, Putin, who has become a military and political power to be reckoned with, and the Chinese leader, who has become an international economic center, both of whom represent the heads of a new world that is Trump leading it.
Henry Kissinger recently met the Chinese leader and Putin in 2017, and these great blessings were pointed out by Kissinger's adviser Thomas Graham as he spoke of an upcoming international troika that would include China, Russia and the United States.
This may be a realistic American recognition of the post-World War II world, and it may also reflect that the resources of the United States and the West may no longer be sufficient for a unilateral U.S.-led international order.
This comes at a time when this international system is threatened not only by the repercussions of the 2008 financial crisis, but also by the chaos of the factors of non-state that hit its national, regional and international foundations, including crossing borders and storming embassies with a system of medieval armed religious militias.
In addition to the rise in the American debt to 100% and the US trade deficit reaching several trillion, although it has recently improved, there are only three Western countries, namely America, France and Britain, of the eight largest economies in the world, while China, Russia, India, Japan, South Korea and Brazil occupied the rest of the five major positions.
Each era has a specific code represented by its power, values and laws, but now that the equation of power has changed and the values of the right-wing wave have crossed continents sweeping the values of globalization, and the charters, treaties and laws of the post-World War II world have been reversed, the world today is moving with the code of the five-year Trump era from one era to another international era.
The values, power, laws, culture and civilization of the new Trump era will not only clash with the values, culture and system of velayat-e faqih and its rogue ilk over the Trump era, but also with the culture, civilization and systems of the globalization system, including perhaps the United Nations and the Security Council, which represent the foundations and balance of power that formed the post-World War II order.
