Sky News: Reports on the viewpoint of Secretary Mattis when it comes to threats to the US, " He said that his "core belief" is that the United States needs to maintain strong alliances and show allies respect and that it should be unambiguous with nations like Russia and China. "
Lets Get Real:
It can be argued that President Trump is keeping to his election promises, he does not see the US as a World Policeman, also he thinks that US allies are taking advantage of the US when it comes to dealing with crisis points. It can be postulated that the US voter is tired of the Wars on Terror, from Iraq to Syria, in fact it can be stated that President Obama won in 2008 when he stated he was opposed to the War in Iraq, and in 2011 removed US troops from Iraq, this proved a massive mistake, the US had to send troops back it to defend against Daesh. It can be argued that the US has returned to his mind set just after World War One, when the US voter decided it not want to get itself tangled up with European problems, this was only removed when World War 2 came about in 1941 for the US ( it had started in Europe in 1939 ), then came the Cold War and the threat from the USSR. One only hopes it does not take a WAR with Putin's Russia to get the US voter to support a tough National Security Agenda.
