It was an awful news that Trump would negotiate on cessation of the invasion to Ukraine by Russia in disregard of Ukraine. Trump seems unconcerned about Budapest memorandum which detrmined the security of Ukraine between Ukraine and the other related countires. While Trump said the US won't commit the peace keeping after cessation of the war, he requires the right for the rare-earth elements in the eastern part of Ukraine.
The vice president of the US told the leaders in Europe that the biggest security threat was not military aggression by Russia or China but their suppression of free speech. Free speech in his context includes blocking ultra right parties like AfD in Germany from governments.
The chief prosecutor of International Criminal Court has been designated to be an objective for sanctions by the US government. Likelily, it was due to the determination of Putin as well as Netanyafu for war criminal by ICC. Trump seems to believe Putin has never committed war crime at all.
These news seem to mean the Trump administration would cooperate with the other dictatoship in the world and approve their invasivions abroad. It may extend to illegal invasion to Greenland or Panama by the US. It will be an era of new imperialism. Those dictators have forgotten or neglected the history leading to the democracy and the international law ensuring the frame of democracy.
Thinking the situation in this way, I feel almost cramped and depressed. What will the next generation experience in this world? It would be the world of "1984" by George Orwell. Dictators with power only rule and there is no ethics or moral in the international society.
I don't believe this regime won't last too long. But destruction of the administration in the US and the international society would be serious and takes a long time and energy to recover, I am afraid.
