In America, the restatements between internal balances continue. President Erdogan's talks tomorrow will also directly affect the results. Some of the comments are already obvious which will be made after the talks. Probably many people will try to keep up with the consequences of saying that Trump is good, his environment is bad or Trump is good but the House of Representatives has the Senate. In our article titled 'Understanding guide of Trump', we tried to explain that what happened in America was actually a method difference. Today, I will try to go back to the origin of these conflicts. Because in order to understand what the US is trying to do in Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan, we need to know some doctrines that affect American foreign policy.
One of the most prominent of these is the Jacksonism, which takes its name from the practices of the 7th President of the USA, Andrew Jackson. Jackson has also influenced the successors of Truman, Nixon, Reagan and George W. Bush. Of course, in the evaluations made so far, a trend like Jacksonism was not expressed much. This movement, which is unknown outside the United States, but active at home and whose intellectual side is very weak, is actually very important for understanding today. The base of this movement is the American middle class. It also maintains its position among the people in terms of reflecting the social, cultural and religious values of the people. So much so that Jackson passed the man on the street as president who defended the Democratic Party he founded. The Jacksonian understanding defined itself as conservative in social life, nationalist and militarist in politics. The Jacksonists have decided to act with a security-oriented approach in foreign policy. If you look at the CIA/Pentagon's approach in Iraq and Syria today, you can easily see that Jackson's foreign policy practices overlap.
According to the Jacksonian concept of war, there are two types of enemies, two types of wars. The first is the honorable war against the dignified enemy, and the other is the war in which it is legitimate to apply all methods against the treacherous enemy.
Now, especially after September 11, consider examples such as Guantanamo, Abu Gurayb once. Thus, the answer to the question of how America applies methods to the people whom she defines as a betrayal is understood better. Why does America apply double standards in the world, or who is the honorable enemy for Americans, whom they see as betrayers?
The debate between Trump and the American establishment stems from this understanding of the method. Trump is trying to make the hand of the bird with the stone of the hand to make the main strategy, while the Jacksonman and sovereign understanding is the source of the problem is determined by the logic of being there.
Today, why the United States acts like the gendarmerie of the world, what goes on in Syria, where they go, why they give the Syrian oil to the SDG, evaluate the answer to the questions from the angle that Jackson sees the world.
