Trump is a belligerent asshole. That’s a given. He would destroy the world for America’s gain.
But Biden is the one that can achieve that task almost single-handed.
The goal is world domination in either case. Trump’s motivation is economic. Biden’s is ideological.
Trump sees America as a triumphalist and wholly exceptional world-beater in terms of economic power. Military power he is only interested in if there is some profit from it. A case in point is Syria’s oil. Otherwise he sees only negative effects in terms of money expended endlessly in a series of unsuccessful military adventures with no reflected glory in them for himself.
Biden sees America as the world’s foremost military power exerting massive influence through the fear and obedience engendered by that power. He believes in the neoconservative principle.s of necessary predominance of the USA over all others. There can be no doubt from his recent statements that he sees the U.S. military as the world’s police force.
Trump has been an absolutely corrosive influence on the world regarding any hopes of unity. Pulling out of the Paris accords and the Iran nuclear deal disrupted a trend toward greater unity in the face of perceived threats to humanity. His motivation in doing so was clear during his campaign to become president in 2016. His focus is, as he says, to reinforce American “greatness” and he doesn’t care who or what has to be destroyed in the process. His divisive nature and policies come at a time when the world faces twin threats, the pandemic and climate change, and more to come and requires high levels of unity to survive them.
Biden will create unity as opposed to Trump’s divisiveness however, that unity will be among those he intends to weaponize even more fully against the half of our world that refuses to comply with U.S. demands or to comply with the notion that the USA with its allies be the unipolar hub all other nations must submit to. Biden will unify U.S. allies in order to divide our world into two distinct halves, two increasingly divergent systems and two increasingly antagonistic coalitions. He will name them “The Free World” and “The Enemies of the Free World”.
Trump is capable of starting a war through his arrogance and continual push for American gain without reference to moral or ethical values, good sense, normal logic or international norms. His focus is on success for him and for the USA without any consideration for mutually beneficial arrangements. He has the mentality of the worst kind of business mobster and crook. He in essence has NO values or principles when it comes to transactions in business, world economics or geopolitics. His sole determination is to win all through whatever dirty methods he cares to use and to hell with any opposition he encounters.
Biden will use every propaganda sophistry at his command via U.S. intelligence agencies and the liberal elite of America to permeate the entire western environment with a new jingoism that will inevitably lead to a permanent split in the world. China and Russia will continue to be targeted for ever harsher accusations, they will be vilified even beyond the level seen to date. Biden and his support base across the U.S. intelligence agencies, within the United Nations and American mass media will attempt to taint the upper echelons of Russian and Chinese authority with the same kind of techniques the Nazis used against the Jews: Generalized accusations of evil.
Trump is not averse to using any techniques Biden favors, however he has chosen mild criticism of allies and their primary instrument of aggression, NATO. He has cast doubt on the verity and trustworthiness of U.S. intelligence agencies and has made mortal enemies of American mass media. The two camps are clear to see and it is patently obvious that those Trump has denigrated and downplayed the integrity of have worked ceaselessly against him.
Biden has the U.S. intelligence agencies and America’s mass media on his side therefore. It does not take a degree in rocket science to see this. It is as clear as day. The number of security state officials who have announced their support for Biden along with prominent members of the George W. Bush administration leave no doubt whatsoever regarding this point.
Due to all the factors above the people of the USA have an utterly unenviable choice to make in just under a week’s time therefore. With no sign whatsoever of any movement to a viable third party they have only these two evils to choose from. Further global division at home and abroad arising from Mafia/Fascist/racist-style Trump policies or relative unity within a liberal totalitarianism at home where critical voices are suppressed and endless war abroad.
Trump will lay the groundwork for an attempted U.S. supremacy through economics.
Biden will lay the groundwork for an attempted U.S. supremacy through militarism.
Two foul choices in a world reeling in agonies due to factors requiring a multipolar world to effectively deal with them.
This heralds a hellishly bleak outlook either way... as the USA seeks interminably to be the world's top dog.
