U.S. presidential elections are underway. It is said that tonight will outline the election results to some extent. From the moment he was first elected president, Trump has embarrassed people with his unconventional words and actions. The United States has been severely divided since Trump's election. After the Civil War, there would have been few cases in which the United States was divided as it is now.
In the future, the United States will be difficult to overcome this division no matter who becomes president.
This is because the division that the United States suffers stems from economic constraints. Inshim said it came from the barn. When the U.S. economy was doing well, human rights and freedoms could be defended. However, as the U.S. economic situation worsened, it became difficult to pursue the ideals such as human rights and freedoms that they asserted. The only time the United States can overcome racism is when white people can afford to look at people of color in a relaxed way. If the economic situation is not good, we will have to make politics centered on the majority of whites in terms of population.
This may be due to the judgment that the American economy is inevitably deteriorating as it begins to compete for supremacy with China. When the economic situation deteriorates and is overtaken by China, the U.S. will become a second-class country.
What will happen if the U.S. is driven out of competition with China?
Not only is economic power weakening, but the United States faces a situation where it can no longer be the United States. The United States is a country built on a foundation of great racial and cultural integration. Economic difficulties make such integration impossible. The racist tendencies that emerged during President Trump's recent term mean that the United States has difficulty maintaining the same unification it had in the current situation.
When the economy becomes difficult, integration becomes increasingly impossible.
It will not be easy for the United States to maintain a federal state. The voice of every state will be raised. A similar phenomenon is likely to occur, as if Italian Lombardy were refusing to provide economic assistance to the city of the South. Although Italy is of the same ethnicity, such a phenomenon has occurred. In countries such as the United States that have no other stickers besides language, there is a high possibility that the voices of each person will increase by division.
The whole world is understanding whether to become Trump or Biden, but basically, it is difficult to solve the problem that the United States faces now, regardless of who it is. When Biden becomes president, he will return to the traditional American attitude. He will try to establish a leadership position in the United States by putting pressure on China through a policy of global partnership.
In that sense, Trump and Biden are different. Trump thought that the United States could no longer serve as a world leader and tried to cut the role of the United States. While reducing the U.S. role to some extent, he tried to avoid a sudden drop in status and contain China through U.S. development.
Biden will likely try to maintain the U.S. leadership position as he has in the past. Such an approach presupposes American sacrifice. Maintaining global leadership requires paying a reasonable price. It is difficult to pay that price in the United States today. Eventually, to keep the United States, which Biden thinks, may lead to a phenomenon in which the United States collapses more quickly.
I think Trump understands precisely the situation in the United States and suggests an appropriate recipe. He attempted to resolve the process by which the United States is moving from a world hegemonic state to one of the hegemonic states through a soft landing. Trump's policy may be much more reasonable than Biden's, given current U.S. capabilities. The problem is that Trump tried to solve rational policies with irrational behavior and attitudes.
Whether Trump or Biden, the United States is unlikely to change much.
If you become Trump, it will be difficult to bridge the divide in the United States, and if you become Biden, you may have a hard landing that will quickly lose American hegemony.
The security of Korea is also difficult to change significantly. Eventually, Korea will also face a situation where it is imperative to consider its own life. It is only the difference between whether that moment comes sooner or later.
