Comments of the Coordinator of the Korean International Forum, Stephen Cho, on Trump’s election
– Trump may be an “anti-deep state,” but he is not anti-imperialist. His election has only a tactical potential of deepening divisions in the US. There is no strategic potential in terms of strengthening the force of the anti-imperialist camp.
– The world war maneuver of the imperialist camp has been jeopardized by Trump. The imperialist camp is now experiencing disorder in its tactics in the war in Ukraine. It is widely known that Trump has a different opinion about NATO. His views on the DPRK and Russia are undoubtedly different from Biden’s. The imperialist camp will not hesitate to overplay its hand to create a world war mainstream that will not be shaken by Trump’s policy shift.
– Trump is consistently taking a hard-line pro-Zionist stance on the war in West Asia (the Middle East). It is no coincidence that some big capital and mainstream media have been neutral or even supportive of Trump during the election.
– It is questionable whether the vice president-elect J.D. Vance will share his view with Trump to the end in light of his career and positions. He has many similarities reminiscent of the former vice president, Mike Pence. Who’s to say there won’t be another assassination attempt on Trump? If he is assassinated, Vance will become president.
– The defeat of current vice president Kamala Harris in the presidential election and the majority loss of the Democratic party even in the Senate are the harsh judgments of the American voters on the current administration of the Democratic Party. The people in the US have turned their back on its economic failures and war policies. The elections in Europe were no different. This shows that just as nothing fundamental has changed in Europe, it will be no different in the US. There can be no fundamental change in the imperialist countries unless the party of the workers and people is in power.
– The main anti-imperialist countries, the DPRK, China, and Russia, adhere to the strategic line of strengthening the anti-imperialist front. Still, on the other hand, they will use the contradictions and divisions in the US tactically to wear down the imperialist camp.
– Donald Trump’s election victory will not stop the imperialist strategy of World War 3. The imperialist camp will provoke and escalate war more often, more intensely, and more forcibly to make World War 3 an irreversible trend.
