Stephens: This year's general election marks the United States to make a choice: Whether to maintain its global leadership or prefer to watch in front of the increasingly chaotic international order.
When the US House of Representatives Speaker, Nanxi Bull; Nancy Pelosi told the world that when Americans decided to decide the Presidential election in 2020, she was actually shouting to Russia and China.The speaker specifically mentioned that American intelligence showed that Moscow and Beijing had already tried to interfere with the election.
It is not only Washington's opponents think the results of this election are different from them.For a few months, politicians and policy makers in almost every corner of the world are paying attention to the campaign.The reason is sufficient.The impact of the election in November this year on the world will not be as good as Franklin D. Roosevelt's victory in the 1930s.
Observed from a distance, this election seems to be divided into two parts.The first part is that Americans will choose who wants to rule them in the next four years.The second part is that the United States will make a choice of MDASH; mdash; whether to maintain its global leadership or prefer to watch in front of the increasingly chaotic international order.
If you support Trump's Fox News and hostile to Trump's CNN (CNN) to provide any guidelines, the first part of this election depends entirely on Donald Bull; Trump (Trump (Trump (Donald Trump's personality.Is he the real defender of the worker class, or is it a dangerous instigator of the fundamental principle that threatens the fundamental principles of American democracy?As a person with incitement and confusion to their supporters and opponents, Trump is setting up and resetting the journalism every day.You either support him or hate him.
If this sounds unfair to Joe Biden, then the predecessable Democratic presidential candidate should not think so.Trump is the best opportunity for Biden to win the election.Indeed, not long ago, the US economy looked quite good.There will be enough party non -party voters to vote with Trump's white -collar class basic disk let him win Mdash; mdash; this seems to be a reasonable calculation.
But that was in the new type of coronary virus pneumonia (COVID-19, that is, the 2019 coronary virus disease) epidemic revealed Trump's iconic lying and incompetence, and the US police's atrocities on blacks in the United States caused riots.Before.Trump can lie in many things, but he cannot deny that tens of thousands of Americans become victims of new crown pneumonia, and millions of people are facing unemployment.In November of this year, for the old -fashioned, do you have a better time? Except for the super rich, the answers of others will be loud.
Last week, Biden boldly chose California Senator Kamala Harris as his campaign partner.The awesome He Jinli is the first African -American American woman to appear on the list of presidential candidates recommended by major political parties in the United States.The Democratic Party's policy program will be announced at the National Congress of the Democratic Party (DNC) held this week.In view of this, if the campaign is still concentrated on the question of whether Trump is suitable for governance, then I suspect that Biden would not worry too much.Trump is struggling.Biden's winning road is definitely nothing more than a stable, capable and gentle alternative.
There is only a faint relationship between this domestic debate and the second part of the election.In such a campaign, foreign policies rarely become important issues.This time it seems unlikely to be an exception, even if Trump believes that increased pressure on China will win votes.
It is not surprising that Vladimir Putin supports Trump.Trump also seemed fascinated by the Russian President.China is said to support Biden.Traditionally, Chinese preferred Republican realists are better than Democrats who are more likely to pay attention to issues.Under the current circumstances, it may have reached a conclusion that anyone is better than Trump, which is more angry and unpredictable.
American partners and allies have a greater interest.In the past 75 years, most of them have achieved prosperity under the U.S. umbrella.Today, in addition to a few striking dictatorships, such as the Rajop Bull of Turkey; Tidip Bull; Recep Tayyip Erican, Muhammad Bull in Saudi Arabia; Bull; Mohammed Bin Salman), Most American partners will support Biden for various reasons.
Trump has never taken the United States allies at the heart. He withdrew from the Paris climate change agreement, tore the nuclear agreement with Iran, weakened NATO, and replaced trade diplomacy with tariff warfare and out -of -the -world sanctions.The United States priority is to negate the leadership role undertaken by the United States after World War II.
The really important thing is the last point, which is also different from all the previous elections.Pax Americana under the United States has come to an end.Global power re -assigning mdash; mdash; especially tend to be Chinese mdash; MDash; means that from now on, it will eventually replace the peaceful international order in the United States still changes in the battle.The United States can act as the convener of the world's democratic countries, or to withdraw from global affairs, and the old system of the seasons.
The last time the United States made a choice between isolationism and participating in world affairs was in the 1930s.The economic recovery promoted by the New Deal is marked that the United States slowly and tortuously return to the position of participating in world affairs.About 10 years later, Truman Doctrine established the goal of becoming the United States as a global leader.Since then, the country's enthusiasm for involving external entanglements has been high and sometimes weakened, but this architectural assumption has never been challenged.
Today, this assumption is on the votes in November.What the foreign policy of Trump's world love is a dangerous but brief detour, or the Americans can no longer see many advantages they gain from international leadership?This is a question worth thinking about.
