A Trump Presidency Could Mean Russian Hegemony
As Donald Trump continues to flirt with a radically transformed post-war world order, a victory for the GOP nominee would mean a political win for the Kremlin.
Trump’s stated belief in both a protectionist foreign policy and a weaker NATO alliance — not to mention his repeated praise for Russian strongman Vladimir Putin — all suggest that a Trump presidency could lead to a previously unimaginable cession of power to Russia.
An article in The Atlantic Thursday, “Hillary Clinton Is Running Against Vladimir Putin,” warned that a Trump presidency would collapse the post-World War II order carried by the United States and lead to mass nuclear proliferation.
Indeed, Trump has stated unequivocally that the price of maintaining world peace isn’t worth the cost. He also suggested Thursday that he would not come to the aid of NATO countries that are threatened in some way by Russia.
