Is Donald Trump scared of President Putin and Xi's alliance?

[El_Tammy]

Ever since China's military parade, President Trump has been making statements online about China forgetting the good sacrifices of the United States during their war days and even making certain changes like renaming the "Department of Defense" the "Department of War." Is this just a mere outburst of political disappointment or is Trump afraid that the Russian and Chinese Government is having an alliance we don't know much about?

as for media suggestion the parade was done purely for the primary brics leaders.. well obviously visually it undermines any relationship building trump suggested he made in regards to tariff talks with india, russia, china.. so ofcourse there will now be some sanction/tariff discussions and other talks about future relations/possible military actions

BUT the parade was not some random day parade organised just for brics leaders.. it was a V-day parade about celebrating victory over japan 80 years ago, where china's allies of the 80yo war attended..
much similar to how trump could invite allies of the US battles, such as any US WW2 celebration, vietnam, gulf, etc

the military parade was not organised just as a display to brics allies. though the undertone and visuals could be cast to suggest that the military parade had a secondary effect/objective by having the brics leaders invited

..

as for the other news about renaming DoD to department of war
calling it the department of defense was always silly.. because soldiers duty/on-tour were not border control domestically to defend against invaders, reservists are not suppose to operate on duty under DoD command when being on duty as the national guard

DoD duties were primarily about going into battle in foreign countries, so logically it should be the DoW or department of offense
border control, national guard can combine as a DoD. but soldiers going on tour to foreign lands should be DoW

..

side note about the DoD/DoW change..
there is many legislations locked in about budgets and operations of the DoD which lock in many things that would take forever to change as the DoD.. but by simply renaming it to DoW. they are creating a new department, meaning they can easily create new legislation because DoD legislation is no longer contractually applicable.. so watch this space, trump can rewrite new objectives for the soldiers and military without having to go through a lengthy repeal process that would be requird if it was still DoD

I’m not sure about scared but he will be aware of it & I would say there will be a level of concern. There is always going to be a certain amount of concern towards those other super powers though. But also a working relationship must remain to avoid any hostilities developing.

38 individuals "the shadow government" run every worthwhile govenment in the world, the puppets have no choice but to listen to the masters.

The rapprochement between Russia, China and North Korea, or with India, is a threat to the US position both economically and militarily. So it is normal and inevitable that Trump or any American would be worried and scared. If they say they are not worried and scared, they are lying.

Trump’s rambling on his social media only shows that he is more insecure than ever but can do nothing. This is what he usually does when he feels helpless about something.

I love how China plays the game of silence and actions while all Trump and the US do is bark and whine with a silly sense of entitlement

Obviously they were so hurt with the display. The problem is that they think everything that happens around the world has to always be about them and revolve around them. The times are changing, and some countries are now realizing which allies worth having.

Like Xi's message said “Today, humanity is again faced with the choice of peace or war, dialogue or confrontation, win-win or zero-sum,”

The world is trying to move past the warmongering superpowers of the past.

In my personal opinion, Trump is way too dense to even possibly be afraid of geopolitical consequences of his actions. He is only afraid when comes to his own personal interests.
He is just trying to continue to hold his imagine of tough guys in front of the whole country, that is his persona and the reason why so many Americans decided to vote for him, because they believed Trump was the tough fearless guy the country needed and continues to need.

It is all empty political ranting, and it is not a secret there is an alliance between China and Russia, because they both have a common and powerful adversary, the United States and the European Union.

Trump isn't scared of anything. He is simply using talk to keep war from happening in his area until he is dead and gone. Look at the NOTHING that came out of the Alaska meeting. It simply slowed Putin down a little.

 On the outside, Trump may look calm and trying not to give anything out but I feel that on the inside he's shaking like a leaf. Why wouldn't he be scared over the alliance of Putin and Xi. That's the second and third World's most strongest militaries coming together and even though that the US still maintain the greater military strength, I doubt they would be able to be so confident should these two nations join forces. Now I'm not trying to say such would happen and they (Russia and China) would want to instigate a war against the US or anything but just the fact that they are allies of sorts is making Trump nervous.

Scared? No not very scared but nervous, let me ask you a question, won't you be tensed if your greatest enemies are forming alliance? Ofcourse anyone would and the alliance of Vladimir Putin, XI and the north Korean leader Kim is enough to make any US president tensed, infact pulling them to Beijing is a treat to the might of the US that's why Trump used the gesture of changing the DOD to DOW to reply the troll of the military parade in Beijing by China.

 Trump ain't someone who shows the public that he's scared he might be tensed which is normal cause of the alliance of those strong Brics nations but he'll always come up with ways to make the US look greater even as they're seriously threatened the alliance of those stronger enemies, maybe that's why he came up eith the DOW so other allies of the US won't switch sides, i won't be suprised if he invites the allies in the EU and Asia then display his own military might, I doubt he'll do that though,but  remember when he invited Putin to Alaska and had some displays of fighter jets flown above which some people called show off.

Exactly what I feel. I believe he is more scared than before because his uneasiness is what has been making him talk alot lately.

Ever since the alliance of Russia and China, Donald Trump is scared case their alliance is a great treat to the US

I won't give a question like this an outright yes or no too. But what I will say is that if there's any American leader who says they are not scared of these two world power he mentioned which includes XI Jinping and Vladimir Putin,  then I will tell such leader not to lie to themselves and be a little more realistic to themselves because whether you agree or not, they are a force to recon with and the BRICS alliance has also posed a threat to the dominance and supremacy of the NATO alliance among others.

But for Trump, he's a leader that symbolizes fearlessness even in the middle of fear, promotes bold leadership and display a strong personality when it comes to negotiations and non-kinetic approach to solving international crisis but he's also an overbearing leader to an extent and can be inconsistent sometimes which is purely caused by distractions he often bring to himself. Trump knows how to handle these leaders far beyond the likes of Joe Biden and Barack Obama and hes still well praised and respected for that.

What do you expect from him? Show his tyrant ness on the both countries or aren't you aware about know know about the global influence of the Russia and the China? I either don't think any of those two countries are dearly weak as that which Trump can just smoke them like that.
US maybe the world power but I don't think that gives them the capacities to step on every toes without being retaliations upon. I also believe Trump knows all what he's doing and despites his geopolitical influence he'd still have to acknowledge his boundaries. In as much as I know, Trump is an experience leader which I believe he's only acting diplomatic between those top Influential countries as the Russia, China and the rest of them. We either don't want the environs to turn into a pitch of proving supremacy. Don't either see Trump as a weakly
