Trump’s dementia destroys time-honoured global alliances

Last week’s World Economic Forum (WEF) encountering exposed fissures between allies that are unlikely to be mended. Alan Austin reports from Europe.

CANADA’S GLOBAL trade agreements are changing dramatically. Since the mentally declining US President Donald Trump Canadians are not allowed to have free trade with the USA, they are looking for it in China.

This echoes Australia’s experience a few decades ago; but Australia’s turn to China has been more gradual and voluntary than Canada’s. as Prime Minister of Canada Mark Carney attracted attention at the celebration speech At the WEF meeting held in Davos last week, this “Not a transition but a break”.

Canadians can be encouraged that this is safe and beneficial, as Australia has proven.

Carney confirmed:

“In six months, we have signed twelve more trade and security agreements on four continents. In the past few days, we have signed new strategic partnerships with China and Qatar. We are negotiating free trade agreements with India, ASEAN, Thailand, the Philippines and the Philippines. Mercosur.”

Changing global alliances

It is stated that the current realignments are arguably the most important realignments since the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.NATO) was established in 1949, shortly after the founding of the United Nations.

As most NATO countries move trade away from the United States, Trump is moving closer to authoritarian regimes that share his desires for oppression, violence and dictatorship. its new Peace Board Hungary, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Israel, Pakistan, Vietnam, Argentina, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Kazakhstan, Qatar and Uzbekistan also participated. Russia intend Purchasing a permanent seat in the USA with frozen funds.

Real and present danger

The immediate global threat remains the existence of an increasingly unstable despot who controls the world’s most powerful military. Trump has proven that he doesn’t care about loss of life. his decision to abandon USAID’s health programs in poor countries will cause millions of deaths. Rejected objections against the army murder Sailors who survived in the Caribbean last September. Invading Venezuela to capture the President maduro caused 80 deathsHe did not mourn. His refusal to follow the advice of health experts during his first term resulted in more than 800,000 unnecessary American Covid-19 deaths.

That’s why European leaders are heeding Trump’s threats. invade Greenland is seriously and extremely relax when you step back.

Unity in rejecting the international gangster

Although this threat has diminished, at least for a while, the US is no longer Trustworthy.

Ed Davey, UK leader of the Liberal Democrats spoke For many in the UK and beyond last Wednesday:

By demanding control of Greenland and threatening economic war against allies who support his sovereignty, Trump risks ending NATO, which has kept us safe for 75 years.

Trump is a bully who behaves like an international gangster.

President of France Emmanuel Macron condemned the “Transition to a world where there are no rules and international law is trampled on” and called the world to reject “The law of the strongest”.

Call for Trump’s impeachment

There is hope that the established rule of international law can be restored, but this is a long shot.

Senator Ed Markey Massachusetts et al. persistently Congress will impeach Trump immediately Constitution‘s 25th Amendment. This applies if a president dies or is removed from office.

In this case, Trump’s step forward dementia Unreasonable threats of invasion, incoherent speeches such as repeatedly confusing Greenland with Iceland in Davos, childish and incessant stream of tiresome lies about his non-existent achievements, which can be easily refuted, may be the trigger for this. demands global awards and accolades – and countless unreasonable verbal attacks against foreign heads of state, public figures and allies soldiers.

Prominent psychiatrists and medical authorities who confirm Trump’s decline include: John Gartner, vin gupta, Elisabeth Zoffmann, Spear Dodes, Vince Greenwood, Harry Segal and 27 people who contributed to the volume The Dangerous Case of Donald Trumppsychiatrist Dr. Edited by. Bandy Lee.

Alternative: blame According to the US Congress Constitutioncan remove the president ‘treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors’.

Impeachment supporters have many reasons. They claim undermine Betraying the NATO alliance by threatening to invade allies, as Trump did Support For the President of Russia Vladimir PutinExpansionist plans in Europe.

High crimes and misdemeanors are not necessarily criminal offenses but serious abuses of public trust.

Implications for Australia

Australia is largely insulated from the consequences of Trump’s criminal betrayal, as it already has strong trade links with Japan, South Korea and China. Australia export each of these more than the United States.

Depending on Trump’s term of office, there may be a break in the defense. Should I finish it? alliance then with England AUKUS is doomed.

While this would be disastrous for Australia’s security in the medium term, for reasons already explained, it would be advantageous in the long term.

If this gets Australia back to Labor’s plans to build Collins daughter submarines in South Australia in 2013, it will have a huge positive impact. This proposal requires cooperation with another shipbuilding country such as Sweden, Japan or Germany. Canada can also participate.
