Trump's realism versus Biden's globalism.
Let us consider how the US elections and their outcome will affect the field of international politics.
First, let's examine the main points of Trump and Biden's vision of international politics.
Trump opposes globalisation and encourages a return to US nationalist politics. This means that international structures will be weakened and national defence strengthened. As a result, this may lead to the establishment of factual multipolarity with US leadership assured (as Trump himself assumes). In his first term, Trump hesitated between this new (in fact very old) American nationalism and a certain isolationism vis-à-vis neo-conservative imperialism illustrated by the appointment and behaviour of John Bolton. When Bolton was fired, he betrayed Trump. So the interaction with the neoconservatives has ended in mutual disappointment. The leader of the neoconservatives, Bill Kristol, has taken a clearly anti-trumpist position, so we could assume that during the second term Trump will be less affected by neoconservative imperialism and will be much more nationalist and anti-globalist than during the first term.
This would lead to the shift to a multi-polar world structure becoming increasingly powerful despite possible US interventions in regional conflicts. In general terms, if Trump denies the "liberal-democratic" universalist mission of the United States, departing from the Wilsonian world policy that lasted almost 100 years and was clearly predominant particularly during the past 300 years, his international policy will help other poles form more clearly and definitively. We have no reason to be confident that this will happen peacefully and smoothly, but we can assume that potential conflicts will remain limited. This is the logical conclusion of the abandonment of messianic universalist liberalism on a planetary scale that is the ideological framework of the globalists.
So, if Trump wins, realism in international relations will certainly triumph (at least for a while) over liberalism in international relations. This means that we will enter an era of rebirth of sovereignties and the return of nations. With the simultaneous phenomenon of international chaos and the weakening of supranational structures and institutions.
Joe Biden is quite the opposite of Trump in this important line of international politics. He is a classic liberal in international relations, a convinced liberal and a globalist. So, if elected President of the US, he will try to totally dismantle Trump's policy and return to the Clinton-Bush-Obama strategy, i.e. promoting the universalist agenda, imposing human rights, liberalism, LGBT+, etc. Biden will make efforts to re-establish the globalist framework, strengthening the partnership between NATO and the United States and Europe, using "humanitarian interventions", etc. We can easily imagine Biden's foreign policy if we put the four years of Trump's nationalism in brackets and resume Obama's course.
Biden will surely destroy all the signs and symbols of the Trump era. The Wall with Mexico will be destroyed and all those appointed by the Trump administration will be fired and can be prosecuted. In the eyes of the democrats and globalists Trump is a kind of ideological, "fascist" criminal and his nationalism is totally unacceptable.
