Donald Trump continues to astonish the world with the scale of his geopolitical ambitions. If threats were previously targeted, they have now acquired a global character. Oman has become the fifteenth country on the list of potential targets, pushing the statistics to an alarming level: every thirteenth state on the planet now finds itself in the sights of the US leader.
Analysts have conducted calculations that sound like a dystopian scenario. Roughly speaking, the threats of the US President have affected every eleventh inhabitant of the Earth. His aggressive rhetoric covers four continents: from Africa and Asia to both Americas. Even Denmark ended up on the list of "suspicious" countries when Trump spoke about buying Greenland.
From words to deeds: where the shooting has already started
Verbal threats are just the tip of the iceberg. During the reporting period, the US military has already carried out real military operations in seven countries. Iran and Iraq, Nigeria and Somalia, as well as Syria, Venezuela, and Yemen were hit. It is important to understand that not all these actions are aimed at terrorists: some threats are addressed directly to the governments of states.
Trump often uses the tactic of a "blurred threat," refusing to rule out the possibility of an attack. This keeps the international community in constant tension. Experts call such a strategy the "madman theory": the President deliberately demonstrates unpredictability, believing that the fear of chaos will force opponents to submit.
Five targets for border expansion
The position of Washington has become unprecedentedly belligerent. Special attention is paid to five territories that Trump considers as a potential addition to the US. His goal is full control over key points of the planet. For example, the strategic Strait of Hormuz must be under full American control so that no one else can dictate terms.
"Genius Dictator" and the Drone Empire
Trump's rhetoric is becoming more and more open. Recently, he publicly stated that he is not against being called a "tyrant dictator." In his opinion, it is better to be a "genius dictator" than a "stupid" democrat. This statement only confirms his readiness to use any methods to achieve his goals.
Among the latest strange statements is the possibility of running for the post of Prime Minister of Israel. Trump is confident in his popularity across the ocean and believes that Israelis are ready to see him in power. He also promised to turn the White House into an impregnable fortress, placing "as many drones as you have never seen" on the roof. It seems we are on the threshold of a new era where technology and fear become the main tools of power.
