After the inauguration of new President of the USA Donald Trump have been
passed more than three months and some assumptions could be considered how
the Administration completes its foreign policy and national security missions.
Donald Trump has purported in his first days of his presidency to prepare new
version of National Security Strategy. However due to incompleteness for key
positions for foreign policy and national defense in the Administration – as
President Donald Trump at his initial phase of his presidency in 2016-17,
managed to drag on the positions of State Department and Defense Department
his personalities – like Rex Tillerson and James Mattis as well as John Kelly as
Homeland Security Chief. All these personalities have very decisive influence
on formulating goals and missions of national security and foreign policy at
global levels. The team is to be labelled “tough hawks” and the hawks have
already demonstrated their claws and the Russian “hawks” in name of
authoritarian authority of the Kremlin Administration in Moscow have been
blundered in declamation pre-emptive delight for having elected Donald Trump
against Hillary Clinton. At his first part of the presidency and as soon as he
was elected as the president, D. Trump made no secret of his admiration for the
military, and former and current brass feature prominently in his national
security team: Mattis, and Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly, are both
retired Marine generals, and Army Lt. Gen. H. R. McMaster is his national
security adviser. This was his first team after his fascinated election. Certainly
the Kremlin has contributed it’s pare in forwarding anti-Democrat challenger’s
to Presidential race and with usage of cyber-warfare capabilities almost has
reached its mission. The Syrian tragic event – gas attack in Khan-Sheikhun
where more than 78 children died and many injured and the genocide had been
done by the Moscow supported Assad regime troops with the Russian jets
participation indicated international criminality and cruelty, it was imagination that no any power could counter-weight the genocide. It was suspicious story
that the chemical attack had been conducted by the Russian military contingent
in Syria in order to crack down resistance of anti-Assad rebel forces in Idlib
province next to Aleppo in order to reinforce its political-military presence in
the Middle East. The Russians caused of feeling full and complete dominance at
the regional level and with Iranian engagement were in mind to boost up their
presence even beyond the regional scope, notable in Maghreb (in Libya and in
Egypt).
