the United States. The harsh criticism of Donald Trump from a number of Republican security experts is unique phenomenon, according to an analyst. And with its sprawling gambit has presidential candidate managed to scare up the party’s two foreign policy factions.
Not only did Donald Trump “lacks character , the values and experience “required to be president – he would become” the most reckless president in US history “.
It’s hard words directed against Republican presidential candidate in the open letter signed by no fewer than 50 prominent security experts from the party’s own ranks.
– this is a strong signal from key parts of the Republican security policy establishment. It is also interesting about the timing. We had a similar letter from the lower officials and Republicans in March, before Trump was elected presidential candidate. But now it is between him and Hillary, and it is a unique phenomenon to be very critical of their own party candidate, says Fredrik Lindvall, security policy analyst at the Swedish Defence Research Agency.
No consistent program
Donald Trump has responded to criticism by cutting the signatories of the letter, which he believes are responsible for the conditions now prevailing in the world.
Several of those now warns Trump declined to sign it before the letter in March, writes New York Times.
the latest tipping point for them is Trump’s recent statements in which he asked Russia to hack his opponent Hillary Clinton’s mail server, and where he challenged America’s obligations to its allies in NATO.
Trump suits neither among his party’s isolationists, who want to see a strong but rarely use defense, or interventionists who see a need for ongoing military operations around the world to secure US interests, says Lindvall.
Restricted
– He violates both doctrines. With a narrow but strong military must have a clear deterrent profile. Then you can not keep on dashing here and there and create uncertainty for friends and potential antagonists. Should the other hand, assert their interests and contracts abroad can not question their commitment within NATO as Trump does, says Lindvall.
Wherever he lands would Trump’s personal opinions get limited impact on foreign policy if he becomes president, believes Lindvall. Among other things, would be a Congress with both Trump critical of Democrats and Republicans act as a drag.
– He would also inherit the ongoing military operations in several parts of the world. And it does not look like it would be easy to leave any of them, says Fredrik Lindvall.
FACTS
Warns Trump
The open letter where 50 republican security policy experts will open distance and warns of presidential candidate Donald Trump released Monday. “We are convinced that he would be a dangerous president and jeopardize our country’s national security and well-being,” they write in the letter.
They consider that Trump would be “the most reckless president in US history “.
Among the prominent names crowd are several people who served under Republican President George W. Bush, including former CIA Director Michael Hayden, former this intelligence chief John Negroponte and two former executives of the Department of Homeland security.
Donald Trump has responded to the letter by cutting expeterna, which he calls “nothing more than the failed Washington -eliten who try to cling to power. ” He blames them on to be the ones that are responsible for the conditions now prevailing in the world.
