Donald Trump is once again at the center of global discussion. He is accused of cynicism, harshness, and breaking the usual rules. But amidst the noise of comments, the main point is lost: Trump acts not emotionally, but calculatedly. And it is this that changes the configuration of world politics.
Criticism of his actions often sounds like a moral judgment. However, reality is more complex. It’s not about likes or dislikes, but about a cold reassessment of the US priorities in a world that is no longer unipolar.
The World After Ideals
Trump is one of the few Western leaders who openly speaks about the need to end the war. Not out of humanitarianism. Out of pragmatism. The conflict in Ukraine prevents Washington from focusing on the key direction — Southeast Asia and the technological confrontation with China.
The old world, where democracy was a universal currency, is gone. It has been replaced by the logic of efficiency. The US no longer strives to be the “guarantor of justice.” They act as a system protecting their own interests here and now.
Monroe Doctrine, XXI Century Version
America returns to the idea of “home,” which begins with the Western Hemisphere. This explains the pressure on the Maduro regime and interest in Venezuelan resources. The new formula is simple: security and energy — within the US sphere of influence.
The updated logic sounds tough: America is building an autonomous fortress where energy independence is combined with technological dominance. Everything else is secondary.
For Ukraine, this is a worrying signal. The US no longer invests in abstract global stability. They invest in their own resilience. Others are partners only as long as they are useful.
Silicon Valley as a Center of Power
Trump is not a loner or an anomaly. Behind him stands a new elite — pragmatists from Silicon Valley. This is a world of algorithms, drones, and AGI, where decisions are made faster than diplomatic formulas can become outdated.
Their strategy is preparation for technological warfare. Superchips, rare earth metals, closed production chains. AGI is considered the weapon of the XXI century. The economy is seen as a field of tough competition without sentimentality.
In this logic, efficiency becomes the only form of justice.
The East as a Managed Resource
The stability of the opponent for the US is not a goal, but a tool. Washington prefers managed chaos, preventing opponents from accumulating power.
In the Middle East, Israel and Hamas find themselves in a situation of forced compromises. In Asia, Taiwan is used as a pressure point on Beijing. Iran and Russia are weakened but not destroyed — too convenient as elements of a large balance.
Ukraine is just one of the fronts in this game. Trump needs an exit from the war not out of sympathy, but out of calculation: a protracted conflict increases the risks of uncontrolled escalation in Europe.
A Time Without Naivety
The era when international law worked as a universal shield is over. The world is entering a phase of “perfect storm” — simultaneously changing the economy, technology, and center of power.
For Ukraine, this is the end of diplomacy of expectations. Washington is interested in only one thing: how quickly the conflict will stop interfering with its strategy. Peace is not a defeat, but a tool for survival. People are more important than symbols, and pragmatism is more important than slogans.
The survival formula is simple and tough: radical realism, a focus on technology, entrepreneurship, and speed of decisions. The era of romance is gone. The time has come for those who can count faster than drones fly.
It is in this context that it becomes clear why Trump’s America acts the way it does — and why the rest will have to grow up faster. NAnews — News of Israel | Nikk.Agency
