\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/i>Donald Trump, with his political turn of endorsing Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine and launching a tariff \u2018war\u2019 against his old capitalist allies (Canada, Mexico and the European Union), is provoking a major crisis in the capitalist-imperialist world order. He is trying to regain the absolutist power of US imperialism to plunder and subjugate the world. Within this framework, he tries to defeat the people of Ukraine and Palestine.<\/div>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0He is also threatening the American working people with taking away their gains, public health and saftey, and moving against democracy and all citizens’ rights. Furthermore, he announced the expulsion of migrant workers who have been working for years, exploited with low wages, in the USA.<\/div>\n

The aim would be to try to overcome the crisis of domination of the USA and the \u2018world disorder\u2019. Although it remains the hegemonic imperialist power since the end of the Second World War, it is very weakened. Particularly since its military setbacks, with the historic defeat in Vietnam in 1975, and the repeated failures thereafter, such as the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan following 20 years of occupation, without any favourable outcome. This is combined with the worsening of the capitalist economic crisis since that of 2007-2008, which they have not yet managed to overcome. Trump himself said, on taking office: \u2018today the decline of the United States is over\u2019, recognising the crisis they have been suffering, while affirming that he is going to solve it. This \u2018solution\u2019 is a threat of invasions and looting around the world. But with this turn he is encouraging \u2018world disorder\u2019 and a greater crisis of the capitalist-imperialist system.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
The pact with Putin to divide up Ukraine<\/i><\/b>
\nTrump began direct negotiations with Putin, disowning Volodimir Zelensky, and accusing him of being a \u2018dictator\u2019 and \u2018responsible for the war\u2019. He is trying to conceal the Russian invasion of 24th of February of 2022, and is pressing for a division of Ukraine between Russia and the US, putting European imperialism aside, sidelining it from the division.
\nIn this way, Trump shakes-up the table and breaks the inter-imperialist agreements that date back to the post-World War II period, even calling into question NATO itself. Trump would attempt a pact with Putin and Russia to establish new zones of influence, while continuing his trade clashes with China.
\nRussia would keep the territory it has already taken (20% of the territorial integrity of ukraine), plus Crimea, which it occupied in 2014, and the United States would transform Ukraine into a semi-colony of its own, already proposing a contract to keep the \u2018rare earth\u2019 minerals and others, saying it is to payoff the limited military aid it has given in these past three years of war, and totally ignoring the European Union (EU).<\/div>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0In this way, Trump becomes a direct accomplice of Putin’s invasion of Ukraine and the massacres, oppression and plunder of the Ukrainian people.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Trump supports the genocidal plan of Netanyahu’s \u2018Greater Israel\u2019<\/i><\/b>
\nDespite the nearly 50,000 dead in Gaza, the result of the Zionist invasion and the criminal bombardments, the Palestinian people continue to resist. Israel has been occupying and bombing in pursuit of \u2018ethnic cleansing\u2019 for more than a year, but expansionist Zionism has not been able to\u00a0achieve\u00a0its aims of putting an end to Hamas and the resistance. Israel had to negotiate a \u2018ceasefire\u2019 and release more than 600 Palestinian prisoners, out of the 10,000 it is holding, in exchange for 90 Israeli prisoners in Gaza. This was a triumph for the heroic Palestinian resistance.<\/div>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Israel also had to retreat with its troops in Lebanon, despite the blows it managed to inflict on Hezbollah and the Lebanese people.<\/div>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Of course, this truce is fragile. The fighting is still open and Israel has now launched a counter-offensive in the West Bank, in its plan to achieve \u2018Greater Israel\u2019. Trump joined Benjamin Netanyahu in promoting the policy of displacing the Palestinian population to Arab countries such as Egypt and Jordan, cynically claiming that they would turn Gaza into a tourist site.<\/div>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0It is the Palestinian people of Gaza who have already responded to Trump with acts of refusal to leave the Strip, with hundreds of thousands, entire families, returning to their homes, many of them destroyed, in northern Gaza, from where they had been expelled by Israel. \u2018Gaza is our home,\u2019 the Palestinians say openly. Their return is the defeat of Zionism and Trump. This is the expression of the heroic Palestinian resistance.<\/div>\n

The Arab bourgeois governments, Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, have rejected the expulsion of Palestinians from Gaza, which is repudiated by their population.
\nTrump’s \u2018Greater Israel\u2019 policy abandons the imperialist \u2018two-state\u2019 policy that has been maintained since Israel’s foundation. This was the imperialist strategy to dominate the Middle East. Although this \u2018two-state\u2019 policy is false, it has served to legalise Israel’s existence. Israel has never accepted a Palestinian state and has closed off the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank (22%\u00a0of its historic territory). Netanyahu and Trump, now with their \u2018Greater Israel\u2019, want to expel all Palestinians from Gaza and the West Bank.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Solidarity with the Palestinian and Ukrainian peoples<\/b><\/i>
\nAgainst this offensive of the international imperialist ultra-right led by Trump, there are strong popular resistances that we must continue to promote.
\nWe maintain our campaign of solidarity with the resistance of the Ukrainian people, without giving political support to Zelenski and saying:\u00a0No to NATO! Russian troops out of Ukraine! No to the imperialist plunder of Ukraine!
\nSolidarity with the Palestinian resistance in Gaza and the West Bank! No to Trump’s threat of military intervention in Gaza! Total repudiation of the ethnic cleansing announced by Trump! We call for the broadest unity of international action, to recover the big international mobilisations. For a Free Palestine from the river to the sea.<\/i><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
