USA: Light on the street, darkness of his house

The US bombing of Syria and Afghanistan as well as the provocations against North Korea show that the geopolitics of the White House want to continue with the useless exercise of competing for the Russian, Chinese and Islamic natural areas of influence. Donald Trump's performance on the international stage will be worse than Barack Obama's since Western hegemony is over. As America wears out controlling global terrorism, its natural space tends to become more complex and more serious.

The solution to Muslim fundamentalism depends on respecting the Central States of the Middle East. As Samuel Huntington pointed out, globalization must consider cultural differences if it aspires to generate communication between different peoples. North America must retreat to the limits of its living space and this forces Donald Trump to reconsider public policies within his country as well as in the immediate perimeter.

The United States during the Cold War era maintained a similarity between its foreign policy and national interest. Now, this superpower no longer has the ability. So that the government of the American Union can stop, at least, the American decadence, it is necessary that they reformulate the policy of isolationism and exceptionalism that was the axis of the Trump campaign.

Undoubtedly, Russia has more capacity to control Muslim terrorism than North America itself. Distance has generated new costs and technological change is also a variant to consider.

If Donald Trump aspires to become the Native American Son trying to build a new country, he would have to look at the experience of Vladimir Putin. This leader, according to the political scientist Richard Sakwa, emerges at a time when a great economic, political and social crisis is generated that cost several losses to a Russia attacked by the worst wild capitalism and an internal civilizational conflict for the disenchantment with the democracy and the globalization. It has taken Putin almost two decades to get Russia back. In this years America has been deeply mistaken. It is no longer the context of the Cold War, now the world is a site too complex and, rather than ideologies, it is cultures that will determine the course of international relations.

The "Trump Era" is beginning to become an ambiguous governance. His government must explain and justify what has happened to the radical measures that had been arranged in the beginning. The attack on Syria and Afghanistan is a replica of Barack Obama's mistakes. Donald Trump should put order in his house and yard of it. Looking at the figures published a few months ago by the important mexican journalist Carlos Ramirez on the subject of drug addiction in USA, there remains the doubt as to who is the real enemy of the American Union (Indicador Político 14/02/17) . How long will Donald Trump do something right for his people? The government of the United States is increasingly similar to that of Mexico. Perhaps the Mexicanization of North America is inevitable. The planned inefficiency (Samuel Schmidt) qualifies a government that disengages social pathologies and is more concerned with developing them.

The confrontation with Russia, China and Iran is unnecessary for the United States, precisely these Central States are now responsible for stability in their civilizing spaces. America is no longer, it can not be, the police of the world and continue the wear and tear in conflicts outside their identity limits. Military action in the Middle East is a way of procrastinating the internal tasks that correspond to the American government.

China, Russia and Iran can take actions similar to Donald Trump based on the arguments of the White House. How would Washington or the Pentagon react if one of these countries decided to bomb Mexico as a result of the power of political narcotics? Mexican mafias grow uncontrollably and increasingly involve more people. The Mexican government is not only incapable of controlling the situation and enforcing, at a minimum, the rule of law. The neoliberal technocratic class is, above all, an accomplice of evil. The migration, poverty, violence, systematic violation of human rights that stimulates DAESH is the same that in Latin America causes drug trafficking and government corruption.

The United States has to decide correctly on the role that, from the election of Donald Trump, must play in the international arena. US isolationism is an opportunity for multipolar globalization to take shape and Central States act consistently in maintaining stability within their immediate environment. The return of America to itself, to its origins, is also necessary for the world. Western evangelization has failed, and it becomes an emergency to slow down modernity so that every civilization can fulfill its task.

China, Russia and Iran have the same right to intervene in the spaces near North America with the arguments that Donald Trump has used. If the Pentagon seeks to place itself in a situation similar to the scene of the Missile Crisis in 1962, it must now multiply the USSR by three or perhaps raise it to the hub. Donald Trump can be the subject that regenerates the United States or the lunatic that causes the end of humanity.
