Donald Trump's "New World Order"

When I hear the term "new world order" I think immediately of former
president George HW Bush who included it in a 1990 speech before
Congress, occurring on an interesting date, Sept. 11th, eleven years before
an attack in the United States announced to the world, terrorism will
become dominate player in whatever "order" results.

"Out of these troubled times, our objective, 'a New World Order', 
can emerge. Today, that new world is struggling to be born, a
world quite different from the one we have known. "
President George Bush, Sept. 11, 1990

The term "new world order" has been used to refer to any new period
of history evidencing a dramatic change in world political thought and
the balance of power.

As 9/11, 2001 demonstrated it would not take a nuclear arms race to
alter the balance of power.
 
This 'new world order' is an ideological notion of global governance ,
based by new collective efforts to identify, understand, or address
worldwide problems beyond the capacity of individual nation-states
to solve.

As appealing as this sounds caution is needed, "global governance"
silences the voices of sovereign nation states allowing governing by
global 'consensus', not the people!

At the time there was no clamor or concern by the American people,
perhaps for two understandable reasons, we have had enough.

First, it had been forty five years since the Cold War was hatched
by the end of World War II as the two winners foolishly became
adversaries, each with differing forms of governance and global desires.

Second, nearly fifty years have put us in a "comfort zone", especially
with the fall of the Soviet Union and the agreement both world powers
would reduce the number of nuclear weapons.

An arms race meant there would be no winner, but two losers, costing the
desires of both countries people for true agreement or "detente".

But, such hopes cannot occur as the world is percolating, not only with the
threat of terrorist attacks around the world and desires of two formidable
powers, China and Russia, that have become emboldened especially in the
eight years Obama has been our president.

No need to review how we arrive at this precarious point. But, Trump
already knows he must boldly take on the challenge as Ronald Reagan
did nearly forty years earlier.

We can no longer spend the 'peace dividend' from the fall of the Soviet
Union and continue to use it for domestic services. At that time this
seemed like the right thing to do. But also "at the time" we took our eye
off the sleeping giant in Asia, China, that took the best of capitalism,
without loosening the grip of Communism,  to become the second
strongest economic power in the world, and amassed a navy capable
to rule the South Pacific.

Also, the fall of the Soviet Union that led to "detente" did not lead to
peaceful coexistence. In fact, Russia today may even be stronger as it is
not saddled with the burden of satellite states of Eastern Europe requiring
force to restrain. Now, Russia can focus on Putin's desires visible for all
to see, a presence in the Middle East for the first time!

This is the true 'new world order' President Trump must face. China,
Russia, worldwide terrorism and the Middle East as unstable it was after
the Shah of Iran fell from power!

What will Trump do?  We know one thing, Trump is committed to destroy
ISIS. Surprisingly, he may even go into battle with powerful ally, Russia.

Both Trump and Putin want stability in the Middle East which can only be
done when every terrorist threat is destroyed!

Trump has already committed to rebuild the US military which is now
about one-half what it was in 2000 as defense funding cuts became
the 'peace dividend' and spent elsewhere.

This increase in military spending will be the first major spending since
Reagan and include over 200,000 military personnel and rebuilding
our depleted Navy to become a presence in the South Pacific so China
understands we will not abandon our allies.

This may not be the 'new world order' the globalists envisioned but its
one that requires WE ensure there is order to go hand in hand with peace!
