ABSTRACT

Trump had indeed shaken up the global security  structure (GSS). He entered a standoff with North Korea’s president Kim Jong-un, promising to meet North Korean threats with “re and fury like the world has never seen.” His “secret plan” to knock out ISIS in the Middle East consisted of indiscriminate bombing. Upset with his generals for not “winning” the war in Afghanistan, Trump nevertheless agreed with them to dispatch more U.S. troops there, just as Obama did.
