Hi GuidoFox here! Wonderful that you will read this article ;)

Let’s counteroffensive my initial thought first (premise): pressure politics will lead towards unstable and unreliable long term partnerships, resulting in short term ineffective solutions and missing out the sustainable ones.

The recent outcomes: the kidnapping of former Venezuelan President Maduro blocked the use of 200.000 standby-for war-ready Venezuelan military personnel.

The security attention by NATO towards Greenland increased heavily.

All NATO countries committed (finally) to the 5% defence budget.

Colombia is very willing to be in line with the USA (under pressure Maduro’s example).

The countries of Europe and/or the European Union are now dedicated to care military wise for themselves.

Summarized: current pressure politics (by one of the largest economies and military budgets ($961.6 billion) of the world) could set something in motion or block deadly policies.

The risk of pressure politics and regime changes (Venezuela) – in this case protecting the Western Hemisphere (1823 Monroe Doctrine) – could be in the long term have a forthcoming that the change will be not accepted by the citizens (e.g. Afghanistan) or lead towards a heavily instable government (e.g. Iraq). Moreover, the regime change(s) (inflicted by the USA) could set a precedent for other powerful countries to invade smaller vulnerable ones (China – Taiwan) (Russia – Ukraine/Baltics).

The main existence of International Law above owns leadership moralism and realpolitik (power-based) is exactly to protect (mostly smaller) countries against the bigger (mostly undemocratic) neighbors and has to be in my opinion to avoid (and temper) short term reckless dictatorship decision making policies (i.e. not sustainable ones).

In this light, the current global coercion campaign of the USA concerns. The risk of losing (reliable) long term partnerships (where you can build on in constructive togetherness) (due the pressure politics) is higher than the short term solutions that could have no stable future base.

It will not say, that the most powerful country on earth (still the USA) has no responsible to react quickly on heavily impacted circumstances – like (trying to prevent) the Yazidi-ISIS genocide. To act or no act is always a case of the particular circumstances. Keeping allies aligned and rethinking the future scenarios will be the advice!
