A new image of America

The phenomenon of trump and the consequences of his election for Russia

 Новый имидж Америки

Substituted reality has long been a staple of the American media and PR agencies. Against this background, it seems surprising article in the magazine The American Conservative. His publisher John Atlee writes: “With all the doubt about Donald trump, his main message – in containing the Washington war machine. And develops the idea, quoting one of his friends: “trump may be the only road non-stop wars…”

Painfully all right written – in one tone with our understanding of things. Like someone wants to justify the expectations of Russian companies. But no, of course not to write, and for Americans. In the US there are still reasonable people, not all switched to spiritual, Monsanto, genetically modified gum.
In sly smile Donald trump for many of them, a glimmer of hope for a more stable and fairly arranged world. With trump belpromosnastka America hopes to oppose the expansion of the financial octopus, based on the liberal international and the progressive oblivion of traditions.
Who among us politicians a few years ago, would venture to urge to put up a wall in the way of immigration or to reduce the cost of maintaining NATO? But now the financial acrobats of Goldman Sachs increasingly difficult to keep Middle America under the hypnosis of the media. Trump promises to restore her prosperity and positive self-esteem.
And says: if Europeans want to put anti-missile system in Poland, then let them pay for it. In speeches, he encroached on the military budget, although the following caveat that intends to strengthen the power of the army. And yet it is impossible not to note the desire originally was.

And who of us aces would call his daughter Ivanka?.. And it’s not just the name, but in the positive sense of the Slavs – it is felt that this impulse is from the heart, contrary to long-standing Anglo-Protestant and Roman-German phobias.

But most importantly it emphasized non-hostile attitude to Russia. In this issue DT pragmatic. Six months ago, at a rally in Iowa, he said, starting with the irony: “of Course, we don’t want to be friends… No, we want to spend another five trillion dollars to continue to fight… Now we really need to be smart, because we have no more money. We are a poor nation – we are the debtor country…” So the businessman trump get along calculation and discreet romanticism. It can not assure.

Trump denounced the war in Iraq, the invasion of Libya and Syria. Willing to work on a fair solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict – and, it seems, not on the side of Netanyahu. Although the Muslims is without reverence. Blames corrupt the Clintons that on some paid speeches and earned $ 160 million – has created incentives for financial magnates, and promoted militaristic plans.
And trump is threatening to do a lot of things, not just hear the campaign rhetoric, but feels like the truth of nature.

Trump is an interesting phenomenon: the spirit medium continental America in its confrontation of the coastal. No matter how I would like the leading Globo media to provide him a fool and a CAD, it is recognized that trump good intuition, endurance, keen understanding of ethnoconfessional processes. While it is quite a conformist. These, as a rule, the goal does not happen.
And yet something prompted him to challenge the order of things, adopted within the Beltway (Washington’s ring road, shaped like our Garden ring). Motive probably sounds familiar – the power of shame.
DT is not visionary, but thinks in images, captivates the audience with narrative style. This experts deny Hillary Clinton at all. The Protocol broadcasts about politics and curse a competitor – either step to the side.

Trump – guy, straight-shooter, but also a businessman, an example of personal success, willing to deals with political opponents. Best idol for American Protestants to find. He awakened dormant in traditionalist America, the instinct of self-preservation. And made such a giant leap from the political wilderness, it’s just breathtaking. In June last year, when trump said that goes into US presidents, his ratings did not reach percent.

Question: what should Russia expect from the election trump, if it happens? With Clinton, everything is clear and largely predictable. Expert “arithmetic mean” inclined to believe that foreign policy is trump, by and large, considerably will not change. Even if they want to. And the conclusion is that it will go the same way, though not so boldly defiant as if the dictates of the neocons.
I do not agree. Trump understands the world not as its competitors, which will certainly affect his actions. His rise to power can change the situation in the world. He’s not racist, as some claim, but the rapid fading of the “white rock” in America and the weakening of Americanism (as a democracy based on values and dignity) its really depressing.

Particularly admire the billionaire-Builder, like Republicans generally, of course, not worth it. Bourgeois he is known in Africa and the bourgeois. Even in the guise of a traditionalist hardly admirable. Do not forget that the days of Republican power, which DT remembers with nostalgia, the CIA and the NSA have not experienced great remorse, killing those who they did not like. If Congress and the White house will be Republican, Americans will be in difficulty – “tobesofkee” the conquest of Obama (and with him 20 million US citizens have got medical insurance), most likely, will go under the knife. Democrats are significantly more humane in matters of social security, but piecemeal socialism American-style even worse than old-fashioned capitalism. Here is a supporter of the welfare state Bernie Sanders flashed – and in the mud… Just gurgles out, at least for the heck vote, but not for trump
Doctrinaire election trump does not become less, but the sanctions against Russia will be removed and will try to bring the relationship if not neutral, then at least restrained. For us, the trump may be beneficial primarily to the fact that you can do, finally, domestic politics.

“Soft power” while trump will become softer. Rome rules using the weak against the strong. This “weak are we next to China. To further strengthen the Chinese economy trump will try to avoid. So China is the second world of liberalism, the force that has no interest in DT as President of the United States.
It seems that for a separate verbal overtures trump addressed the Russian leadership, it is worth consideration: there is no point in wasting further Russian encroachments on its sovereignty and openly to quarrel with her. After all, over the past 30 years, Russia lost so much that deserves a little generosity. Especially now, when Ukraine is under control of America …
The underlying processes in American and Russian societies are in many ways similar – it is, as a rule, the confrontation Globo-liberalism and traditionalism. The latter can “draw inspiration” or in the ideals of the founding fathers and creators of the American revolution (in the US), or (in our case) to live with the memory of pre-Soviet Patriarchal or lost the Soviet era. In this sense, to observe the election campaign in the United States and its leaders especially interesting.

Trump – a man not very knowledgeable, but not very harmful. It is a good opportunity for America and for all the others. However, events like what happened in Dallas probably will be repeated, and the media will fan the flames, accusing trump of racism.
The necessary material can offer and the Russian media related to the citadel of liberalism a system of communicating vessels. Now some of our popular broadcasters working in the “echolocation”, artfully play up the camp of Hillary Clinton – it is possible to quote somewhere in the new York times or new Republic. We have the agents of liberalism that address the specific needs in the higher realms.
Confrontation during the counting of votes will be, apparently, more than a dozen years ago, Bush Jr. and albert Gore. But if you rig the election will not be possible, liberalism will venture a familiar game with a smooth transition under other people’s banners and the gradual establishment of the necessary agenda.

Part of the American analysts are convinced that the presidential campaign trump will change the nature of the Republican party, and at the same time American society – even if he loses the election. Now it is difficult to imagine how the Republican elite and naukanski establishment will be able to ignore the aspirations of ordinary Americans. This, in turn, cannot influence global processes. After what USA did in the middle East, America needs a renewal of the image. Donald trump is apparently her new look.
