A victory for Ukraine can be a victory for TrumpAs distinguished professor of international politics Daniel Dresner claims, the new US president will do everything possible to strengthen the position of the US on the international arena.However, this will be impossible if the White House refuses to support the Ukrainian people and gives Russia a chance to strengthen and conquer more territories.Against this background, one cannot forget how Trump harshly criticized Biden for the chaotic withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan in 2021.
Humiliation in Afghanistan marked the beginning of the collapse of American authority and respect around the world, the Republican leader said at the time.
However, according to the professor, a similar outcome in Russias war against Ukraine would create similar political problems for Donald Trump, which he certainly does not want to have.Dont expect crazy decisions from TrumpAs Daniel Drezner pointed out, the situation in the international arena is currently such that it will be more difficult for Trump to lead the United States out of these conflicts than he claimed during the election campaign.
The global rules of the game have changed since 2017.
Many countries began to gain independence from the US, including the BRICS, OPEC and Shanghai Cooperation Organization structures, the professor emphasized.
The expert also draws attention to the fact that Trump is returning to the White House as a wellknown figure on the world stage.According to Columbia University professor Elizabeth Saunders, in 2024 Trumps actions are much easier to predict because he only pretends to be crazy, but in the end he has become a fairly predictable politician.
