When Donald Trump took office as president, he set his greatest foreign policy goal as preventing China from replacing the USA as the world’s largest economic power. His predecessor, Joe Biden, was pursuing the same aim when he rejected Russia’s demands to commit NATO to not allow Ukraine to join this military organization, thus preventing NATO from advancing to Russia’s borders. Joe Biden was convinced that if Russia attacked Ukraine, NATO would be able to defeat Russia by imposing sanctions that would prevent it from funding the war in Ukraine in the long term.

The fact that a significant portion of Ukraine opposed its entry into the EU and NATO was ignored by both Joe Biden and the EU. Essentially, they challenged Russia to a war that they were confident they would win, believing that defeating Russia would pave the way for them to stop China’s further economic growth and ultimately prevent China from dominating the world. China is aware of this American goal and therefore supports Russia.

Donald Trump decided that the USA has no hope of winning this war, even in alliance with the European Union. He figured that if he could bring Russia, one of the two largest nuclear powers in the world and a major supplier of energy resources to China, onto his side, he would have a chance to subdue China.

On the other hand, the EU dreamed that defeating Russia in the war over Ukraine would open the way for further advances eastward in Europe and into other post-Soviet states in Central Asia. The EU already has 200 million more inhabitants than the USA, and further growth could make it a power capable of competing with the USA and China, and later with India.

Ukraine thus became a battleground in the struggle of great powers for global dominance. Donald Trump realizes that Russia can only be brought to his side by allowing it to annex parts of Ukraine that have rebelled against their accession to the EU and NATO, and thereby maintain its status as a global superpower. At the same time, it aims to subjugate Russia to such an extent that, at its request, it could halt its oil and natural gas supplies to China.

Donald Trump has already ‘seized’ Venezuelan oil for the USA, thereby depriving China of one of its largest oil suppliers. The USA also largely controls oil states in the Middle East and has the power to force them not to supply oil to China. As a result, Iran would be the only potential savior for China, but even that country is under increasing American pressure. Currently, an American naval fleet is approaching its shores.

Nothing is known about China having any plans to effectively assist Russia in conquering Ukrainian territories that, according to public opinion polls, identified with it before 2014, aside from helping the Russian arms industry and purchasing Russian oil and gas. The success of Russia, which is apparently running low on funds for continuing the war, therefore mainly depends on U.S. diplomacy, and for this success, Russia will have to “pay” Donald Trump by helping him in his efforts to subdue China. In the early stages of his attempt to bring Russia into the fold, Donald Trump encountered resistance from the European Union and ultimately excluded the EU from negotiations to end the war in Ukraine, effectively removing its competition in the quest for world dominance.

Just as his efforts to secure Russia as an ally against China have not weakened, neither have his efforts to conquer additional territories that would strengthen the military and economic position of the USA in the world. Next on the list is Greenland, with its strategic position in the event of a nuclear war and likely vast mineral wealth, whose acquisition would further bolster American economic power globally. However, the independence of Canada and some South American states, such as Mexico, which borders the USA, is also contentious; annexing Mexico would increase the U.S. population by an additional 132 million residents, bringing it closer to that of the EU at approximately the same level. However the size of the Chinese market and the growth of the Chinese economy keep posing a threat to the United States’ economic dominance in the world.

On January 8, Donald Trump wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social, that after discussions with leading American politicians, he has decided that the U.S. military budget will increase from 1 trillion to 1.5 trillion dollars by 2027. This clearly indicates that he wants to achieve absolute military superiority in the world, and the fact that the USA, under his leadership, has withdrawn from most organizations associated with the UN, significantly reduced financial contributions to it, and decided to establish a Peace Council to replace the UN under American leadership, clearly shows that Donald Trump wants to use his presidency for complete domination of the world, ensuring that profits will flow into the USA from around the globe, and that the power of American money and the American military will then ensure U.S. obedience from all governments worldwide.

The decision about the success of Trump’s policies is already being made today. European countries will likely manage to temporarily prevent the American takeover of Greenland by seeking closer trade relations with China, India, and South America. However, unless Europe begins to seek military alliances with countries other than the United States, it will not have a chance to oppose them. Furthermore, after the EU has prepared itself (also under recent pressure from the US) to do without Russian oil and gas, it is heavily dependent on the US economically, as its industry cannot operate without American energy resources. Thus, the US can simply wait for the right moment to completely subjugate Europe, just like Russia.

It is becoming increasingly clear that this world is becoming too small for the struggle for world power. The hope for a return of democracy lies in the possibility that the states currently falling into the American trap could unite into a military alliance that would strive to create a democratic United Nations, where the veto power of the great powers would not apply, and where decisions regarding collective action against aggressive states would be made by a majority vote of UN member states. Consequently, NATO should be abolished, as well as other military pacts.
