In 1992 Francis Fukuyama wrote his famous Essay ‘End of History’ in which he argued that former President Ronald ReaganThe victory of the Cold War had ushered in an era in which the free market democracies would almost flourish through osmosis with a light, accompanying American hand.
Thirty -five years later, after 9/11, After the Communist China becomes a global powerhouse and Russia more warfare, it is clear that this careful management of neo -liberalism has failed. What we need is a new beginning of history, starting with President Donald Trump.
Of course we all see the grim difference between the lively Trump and his immediate predecessor, Joe BidenThe first supreme commander who looked less alive in function than are Disney Animatronic in the Hall of Presidents. But it’s more than that.
Every president since Reagan has essentially been a caregiver for Fukuyama’s vision of a world order in which the US, as the undisputed leader, sets its interests last, convinced that “our way of life” will inevitably dominate the world.
The bushes, Clintons and Obamas did not form the world so much if they tried to retain the form that was created by the victory of Reagan’s Cold War. Today we need Trump to see Foreign Affairs with fresh eyes, and he is.

On Tuesday evening the president shocked the world, and perhaps even the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with whom he shared a press conference, by suggesting that the United States would take over Gaza and change the Riviera from the Middle East.
On the domestic political links, and internationally, the idea of ​​American Gaza was confronted with mocking contempt and disbelief. But given the terrible circumstances including those in Gaza live and the unbearable threat they pose for Israel, we must wonder why that is.
The answer is that, although the global institutions on which neo-liberals were made and would never be trusted with the Gaza solution of Trump, these are the same groups that have not secure peace in the Middle East for decades.

Is trying something new so crazy? After all, it is the terrorists who prefer the slow and steady status quo of death and destruction. Why give them it?
And it is not only in the Levant that Trump makes waves. Regarding strategic vital greenland and the economically vital Panama channel, the new Trump doctrine is not only that American interests should first come, but that it improved from the whole world in the first place.
In all honesty, it was logical in 1992 to think that if the only super power in the world, the United States should be big and first to put developing countries. But somewhere along the line, that greatness changed to self -hatred.

Former President Obama took such a vague view of the American moral power that he preferred our nation that led from behind.
Among these caregiver presidents, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), which was designed to burn our reputation abroad, spent millions criticizing Western colonialism and telling Africans that they are not gay enough .
Reagan won the Cold War by keeping his eyes on the ambitious America of the radiant city on a hill. Fukuyama wrongly believed that we had already reached and moved it.
The radiant city of Trump on a hill can be a hotel and casino in Gaza, or a submarine base in Greenland. It can be a freer passage between the Atlantic and Pacific. But what it won’t be is more of the same.

It was Nietzsche who wrote: “In the mountains, the shortest way of peak to peak is; but you have to have long legs for that.” For too long, American foreign policy has worked in the valleys of conflict and disagreement, always waiting for the safest and easiest way to climb out, to never be completely able.
Just like Reagan, Trump knows how to walk from peak to peak and how to ignore the no -sayers who say that change is impossible.
At the end of history one can only look back. Perhaps this is the reason why we are a society of continuation and franchises instead of original stories, of old worn -out foreign policy paths, not new blazing paths.

All things are possible at the start of history. There is no cynical past to close innovation and new ideas.
Trump is not going to manage the slow deterioration of America, nor just standing that back that “stop!” No, for the first time in a long time, the American president sees new paths and visions for our nation and under her leadership, for the whole world.
