Trump’s speech at the UNGA challenges authoritarianism and critiques globalism.
—
President Trump addressed the UN General Assembly (UNGA) last Tuesday with a speech that delivered bold—and, for some, inconvenient—truths.
Aside from offering a clear rejection of globalism, President Trump took aim at the U.S.’s authoritarian enemies. He portrayed Russia in a negative light and launched pointed attacks at China. His speech also brought to mind lingering questions about the future of the UN and America’s role in it.
President Trump alluded to the dysfunctional nature of the Russian military and how it has been unable to accomplish its strategic objectives against a much smaller military.
Everyone thought Russia would win this war in three days, but it didn’t work out that way. It was supposed to be just a quick little skirmish. It’s not making Russia look good; it’s making them look bad.
