Trump's 'New World Order' Echoes Biden's Old One
The New Arab cartoon effectively captures Donald Trump's perceived geopolitical recklessness with the headline 'Trump’s NWO: Move Fast and Break Things.' While portraying Trump as a disruptive force, it conveniently sidesteps the decades of bipartisan 'breaking things' that paved the way for such chaos. For instance, the destruction of Iraq—a bipartisan affair across multiple
administrations—continues to destabilize the region, a fact often airbrushed from mainstream narratives when discussing current 'disruptors.' President Biden, for all his talk of restoring alliances, saw his administration recently approve $14 billion in military aid to Israel, despite ongoing humanitarian crises in Gaza. One might wonder if the 'move fast and break things' strategy is less about
a specific president and more about a deeply ingrained, unquestioned foreign policy doctrine. The US, regardless of who occupies the Oval Office, often finds itself funneling billions in aid and arms to geopolitical flashpoints, frequently to the benefit of defense contractors whose PACs heavily influence both sides of the aisle. The consequences for actual people? Well, that's just collateral
damage in the grand strategic game, regardless of whether a Democrat or Republican is calling the plays.
