The Masar Badil, the Palestinian Alternative Revolutionary Path Movement, affirms that Donald Trump’s frantic rush to create crises and engage in foreign policy adventures, from Latin America to Iran, Greenland, Canada, and beyond, does not reflect strength or self-confidence. Rather, it expresses a state of political bankruptcy and a suffocating internal crisis, a desperate attempt to escape abroad and export failure, amidst a sharp decline in his popularity and the exposure of his escalating crises within the United States.

Trump’s aggressive policies are not isolated individual decisions, but rather serve the interests of the American monopoly capital alliance, primarily the giant oil, arms, and technology companies, which see Trump’s presence as a suitable opportunity for projects of control and plunder, and for reproducing American hegemony over nations. The threats, sanctions, and political and security interventions against Latin American countries fall within an attempt to revive the “backyard” doctrine, serving the interests of transnational energy companies, military-industrial complexes, and technology companies that have transformed into tools of surveillance and domination.

The renewed push for projects to control, or what is termed the “purchase,” of Greenland, coupled with the condescending language directed at Canada, clearly reveals the colonial mentality of American capitalism, based on the law of the jungle. This mentality treats land, natural resources, and people as commodities to be stolen and bartered, in blatant disregard for the will of nations and international law, replacing it with what is called “American law,” tailored to the specifications of large corporations and their interests.

These ventures are nothing more than short-term propaganda tools through which Trump seeks to project the image of a “strong president,” while in reality he is merely a political front for a coalition of monopolistic corporations. This comes at a time when the economic crisis is worsening, the institutions of the American system are eroding from within, repression of dissenting voices is expanding, and the contradiction between the working class and the ruling class is widening. Furthermore, he is constantly plagued by political, legal, and ethical scandals.

The failure of these policies, both in Latin America and in the geographical sphere of influence of the United States, proves that the era of unilateral American dictates is facing escalating resistance, and that the hegemonic projects led by oil, arms, and technology companies are no longer passing without incurring increasing political, economic, and popular costs.

This accelerating American exposure, under the leadership of Trump, who appointed himself ruler of the Gaza Strip in service of the Zionist imperialist project, compels resistance forces and liberation movements to read the international moment with revolutionary awareness, to build upon the state of imperialist decline, and to strengthen the joint struggle against the global system of plunder, from Palestine to Latin America, and from the Arab world to all arenas of confrontation with neo-colonialism and imperialism and their economic, political, and military tools.
