President-elect Trump may use "his signature mix of belligerent threats and friendly relations" with some world dictators. Thus, he will try to break the deepened partnership relations between the opponents of the States.
We are talking about China, Russia, Iran and North Korea. This is reported by The Hill.
How can Trump act in relation to the opponents of the United States
"The question of whether this is combined with effective politics, given Trump's impulsive approach to global relations and the opposing views of his alleged advisers, remains open," the publication notes.
It also says that Trump is "antagonistic about European allies and NATO": he criticizes them for relying too much on US military support.
At the same time, the future US president boasts of his relations with Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping and Kim Jong Un.
We're going to have a very good relationship, and there are reasons why we want to like them. There are good reasons
- said Trump, referring to Putin, Xi and Kim in the context of breaking their alliance.
He also condemned the "stupid people" who allowed Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea to unite. These countries, by the way, are already called the "axis of aggressors", "axis of upheavals" and "CRINK" in the world. And it was the war in Ukraine that served as an accelerator of relations between them.
At the same time, experts say that CRINK countries are not natural allies and have many conflicting national interests. "But unity in confronting American dominance on the world stage is a powerful unifying force," Western journalists note.
"Trump's unpredictability is a strategy to throw Moscow off balance"
"Trump approaches each of them bilaterally and without strong support from our allies. Because they act in many ways as a collective – and we're more isolated and alone without our allies – then the balance of power really shifts to them,” says Transatlantic Security Program Fellow and Director Andrea Kendall-Taylor.
Proponents of US support in Ukraine's struggle with Russia argue that this is the best way to counter deepening relations between the "axis of aggressors."
“CRINK watches what we do. … This is a threat to all of us, and the best way to counter CRINK is to help Ukraine achieve victory. "Ukrainian hawks" are now trying to convince Trump that the best way to move away from Biden's policies is to ensure Moscow's defeat by Kyiv," said David Cramer, executive director of the George W. Bush Institute.
But Trump is currently rather ambiguous in his statements regarding the end of the war in Ukraine. However, some believe that his unpredictability is a strategy aimed at throwing Moscow off balance.
