 Trump or Biden, US foreign policy endangers the world
==========

US foreign policy has unleashed violence and instability globally, regardless of who is president. The US launched the 'war on terror' in 2001, invaded Afghanistan and Iraq, causing millions of deaths and destabilizing the Middle East. The under-regulated US economy caused the global financial crisis in 2007-2008. The US and its NATO allies intervened in Libya, collapsing the state and creating more refugees. The US tried to consolidate its dominance in Europe by expanding NATO, leading to tensions with Russia. The Biden administration has continued many of Trump's foreign policy initiatives, including a technological and political war against China. Both Trump and Biden aim for permanent American global domination, using economic and military coercion. A second Trump presidency may convince US allies to reconsider their relations with the US and could herald the start of a multipolar world order.
