Expert Analysis: The Trump Administration's Foreign Policy and Its Global Impact

Good evening, Yoav Netzer.

We are in a period of fluctuations, reflected in the American and perhaps also the European system, against the backdrop of the situation on the eastern front of Europe and the western front of Russia. What can you tell us beyond what the daily news cycles provide?

Zelensky has been in NATO since 2012, perhaps even earlier. NATO serves as the European command of America. What isn’t under his control clearly won’t be under his control. If there are no negotiations, the war will continue. He will receive funding from Western European banks, and they will continue to steal. It’s no coincidence that he and all his friends became billionaires out of nowhere.

This evening, in a speech, Zelensky spoke for the first time about the establishment of a European army. Many Americans—on both sides of the political spectrum—really didn’t like this statement.

But it’s not his idea; it was published years ago.

However, he is a man who has received half a trillion American dollars, and now he’s talking about a European army.

Well, they stopped paying him, so he’s moving on to the next payer. The next sucker.

There are illegals flooding in from all over, suppression of free speech, and election cancellations—all of which were discussed by the Vice President during his visit to Munich. The U.S. is deeply concerned about the state of Europe. At the same time, the administration is also worried that Europe is overly reliant on the U.S. for security. Isn’t there an inherent contradiction between the American desire for Europe to be self-reliant and the claim that Europe is turning communist?

Put politely—as I have written before—it simply means that if they are dysfunctional, they should take care of their own affairs.

With a new administration coming into power in the U.S., do you foresee a dramatic impact on the global economic or military power dynamics?

What they can do is clean house and stop funding scoundrels abroad.

We are on the eve of elections in Germany. You have a deep and thorough understanding of that country—what do you see happening these days?

Everyone is socialist. Everyone is feminist. Everyone is LGBT. No one in party leadership is truly German. It’s all just a show.

Who is directing this show?

Germany is private property of the U.S. Army.

Moving east, to China, one of Germany's largest export markets, you have often mentioned its industrial power, both in the automotive sector and in computing. a. Do you foresee China taking over areas that are not currently under its control? b. If so, will this also manifest in greater geopolitical influence than today?

What’s left?

There are the Spratly Islands, located in the South China Sea near Vietnam, stretching from Taiwan to Vietnam.

The Chinese plan to take complete control of the area. According to international law conventions—which are not truly laws—control over a point in the sea, air, water, and land is determined by triangulation: if the three closest points belong to you, then they are yours; if not, they belong to someone else.

For China to claim resources worth trillions, it needs to control the perimeter or the islands. So they built artificial islands on reefs, complete with aircraft runways and Chinese flags.

China’s ability to produce high-quality passenger planes through self-development is still limited, but by the end of the decade, it will likely be strong.

So in your view, the competitive advantage in these two sectors, which America still enjoys, is temporary?

Not in my view. These are structured work plans.

In energy, there is no discussion of competitive advantage—you either have what you need, or you don’t. No one has prevented the Chinese from buying whatever they need.

Boeing’s situation is bad because it is run by MBA executives—they are nonsense.

Not long ago, you expressed concern about the possibility of a third world war.

The mere fact that they provoked Russia and are routinely bombing all the way to Moscow could lead to exactly what Putin has repeatedly warned about—harsh responses in the Western territory, based on Russian Security Council decisions.

Meanwhile, the Red Sea has been closed to the West. The French have been expelled from Africa. The West has been pushed out of the Persian Gulf.

We are already halfway to a world war.

So you actually foresee a period of some stabilization after a dangerous decline under Biden?

I see a cleanup of the stables.

All of his policies revolve around cleaning house. And there’s a lot to clean.

The Chinese are cautious. The Russians are cautious. So once America cleans its stables, there will be quiet.

How do you see the future of the United States in the coming decades?

If the U.S. stays true to its constitution, does not permit theft, and maintains proper accounting, it has a chance. If everything is rotten, then it has no chance.

This may be a digression, but what about the Middle East? In the coming years, is everyone likely to sit in relative quiet?

Turkey is already inside Syria. Egypt is training to invade Israel.

Just because Trump is in the White House doesn’t mean the U.S. military is capable of stopping them.

But in the past, you claimed these countries are economically dependent on America.

And if they succeed in conquering Israel, they will gain a lot of money.
