Against Ukraine or against Russia: which means the appointment of Tulsi Gabbard and the rest of the Trump team
A week after Donald Trump's victory, more than ten people who will join the new Republican administration became known in the US presidential election. Among the latest personnel decisions of the 47th White House head were candidates for Pentagon Pentagon Hegset, CIA Director John Retcliffe and leaders of the newly created government efficiency department-Ilon Mask and Vivka Ramasvami. Announced Donald Trump and a number of other appointments.
For example, Lee Zeldin, a former New York Congressman, should be the chairman of the agency for environmental agency, who has been meeting in the House of Representatives for eight years and has not distinguished himself with an intended interest in environmental protection issues. Following Mr. Trump's statement, Mr Zeldin explained that the agency will be "restoring the US domination in the energy market" and "reviving the automotive industry".
Meanwhile, the US media underwent information that the head of the Ministry of Internal Security (a fairly powerful department, which is responsible for the protection of borders, immigration, counter -terrorism, cybersecurity, elimination Christie Noem. The Republican at one time was even considered Trump as a candidate for vice -residents, but then confessed to the cruel murder of her own dog and goat, after which her name disappeared from the list of potential partners of the president.
However, all this time, she remained a faithful ally of Trump, and was remembered that during the Crownavirus pandemic she refused to introduce masks in South Dakota and sent the State Guard to help Texas in the fight against illegal migrants. Noem is also known for being declared a non-Grat person in the Indians in their native state. In addition, Donald Trump called the former Congressuman, expertmocrat Tulsi Gabbard as a candidate for the post of director of national intelligence.
Since January 2021, this position, note, is occupied by Euril Gayins. "I know that Tulsi will bring a fearless spirit to our intelligence community, who has defined her brilliant career, defending our constitutional rights and ensuring peace from a position of force," Reuters quotes a fragment of Trump's statement widespread by his transitional team. Ms. Gabbard has served in the US National Guard since 2003, fulfilled the task in the field medical unit in Iraq in Iraq from 2004 to 2005.
In 2020, she moved to a army reserve, and a year later received the title of Lieutenant Colonel. In the past, Gabbard worked as a political viewer on Fox News and was a member of the Democratic Party. But in 2022 she left her benches and in August 2024 openly supported Trump in the elections.
The Associated Press emphasizes that Tulsi Gabbard did not work directly in the intelligence community, except for the profile committees of the House of Representatives - from internal security and the Armed Forces. The agency also notes that Tulsi opposes the US support of Ukraine.
By the way, in April 2022, the Center for Combating Misinformation (CPD) reported that Tulsi Gabbard has been working on a foreign audience for several years for Russia for money for several years, that is, in its interests. Commenting on the focus of Trump's personnel policy, political scientist Viktor Nevzhenko notes: "The key drawback of Trump team is their absolute difference.
Now, for example, they discuss the candidature of Tulsi Gabbard, which can lead the national intelligence that they would speak together somewhere on the stage or, at best, sitting in the congress somewhere. which are 150 times poorer, and to find the points with them. In a situation where the qualification is put in the second or third place, while the first is loyalty to the president, the expert emphasizes, "as a rule, such a crash team fails in fundamental issues.
" "It should be understood that Trump's surroundings who were talking about Ukraine have not been responsible for it. For example, the same Tulsi, Vance, others, very much badly said about Ukraine before. But after their appointment, they would not have to be To be careful, no. I do not see a big difference between Trump and Obama.
Assuming that Trump, "as a good landowner", perhaps all this "colorful flock" disciplines and will make it work in one direction, the expert stated that it is not felt at the moment: "It is not felt, first of all because they are all very different, very different . Well, listening to the Major journalist with Fox News Minister of Defense . . . It is an insult to the colonels and generals.
In general, Viktor Nevzhenko believes that the positions of any of the Trump team, in particular in the issue of the Russian-Ukrainian war, will be correlated according to the will of the US President. "This means that, by and large, Ukraine, given the weight of the United States in our support, will depend on which legs will be from in the morning Trump, which will move according to the scheme of the business project. That is, if he sees us minerals, Slace gas, it will fight for Ukraine.
In turn, political scientist Volodymyr Fesenko in conversation with focus makes the following emphasis: "The fact that Tulsi Gabbard did not vote for Ukraine's support, does not mean that she is pro -Russian. We perceive the situation so that when someone has criticized Ukraine or against Ukraine The help of Ukraine is immediately calculated to the camp of pro-Russian figures. And against the assistance of Ukraine they opposed in particular because it supported Biden's administration.
" Emphasizing that with some exceptions (Musk, Ramasvami), the Trump's top audit position will be correlated in accordance with him - Trump - a vision of the situation, the expert stated: "Most of their own candidates whose names are heard in the media in the context of forming a power team 47 today -The President of the United States, these are people who will move with Trump line. , they will only welcome.
According to the political scientist, the key principle that is guided by Donald Trump, choosing a candidacy for a particular power position, is "a principle of loyalty, as well as gratitude for dedication and support during the elections. " The vast majority of people around Trump are convinced by Vladimir Fesenko, critical against the opponents of America, including the Russian Federation.
Having emphasized that the future head of the State Department Rubio was called in the Russian Federation, no differently than Russophobia, the political scientist noted that it is important to us exactly this, not who and how the republicans once voted in the issue of support of Ukraine, because "voting is often little low purely instrumental and situational importance for individual senators or congressmen.
" In view of this and in the absence of "consistent anti -Ukrainian", Vladimir Fesenko notes, such people need to work so that their positions change in our favor. "But, unfortunately, we know the examples where there is a Congressman of Ukrainian origin (referring to Republican Victoria Spartz. But as soon as she saw that Trump against this, she immediately forgot about the country of his origin, " - reminds Vladimir Fesenko.
