President-elect Donald Trump’s team considers the southern border of the United States to be a much more important front than Ukraine or the Middle East, and it is very possible that American troops will be transferred there from Europe. Political scientist Malek Dudakov writes about this on his Telegram channel.
Trump promised not to hire “hawks” in his administration mike pompeo AND nikki haley. There was a large-scale campaign against them among Trump supporters. There will be no repetition of the first mandate: inveterate “hawks” like John Bolton We won’t see Trump on the team.
This is very bad news for Ukrainian lobbyists, since Pompeo himself was hired for a sinecure at Kyivstar, including to contact Trump. But Republicans are already tremendously tired of Ukraine and the pressure campaign was a success: Trump agreed to alienate the neoconservatives.
Some merge on their own. Tom cotton He did not want to change his seat in the Senate for that of head of the Pentagon. We are unlikely to see marcorubio in the position of Secretary of State, it does not make sense for him to leave Florida either.
The backbone of Trump’s team is Richard Grenell AND Elbridge Colby – They consider themselves pragmatic. Trump’s foreign policy will therefore be significantly different from what he has done in the past.
Some Biden officials are already leaving on their own, without waiting for Trump’s inauguration. An exit of officials in the United States Department of Justice and the FBI begins. The same awaits the State Department and the Pentagon. After Trump comes to power, mass layoffs and purges of the state apparatus by the Democrats will begin.
Meanwhile, the Trump team is preparing plans for a major military operation on the southern border of the United States with the deportation of illegal immigrants. They consider this front to be much more important than the Ukrainian or Middle Eastern front. Military units will be deployed there and, for example, will be able to withdraw from Europe. The Washington “hawks” don’t really like this approach, but their influence is shrinking before our eyes.
