THE US GEOSTRATEGY: EVOLUTION FROM THE “MANIFESTO OF DESTINY” TO THE “DONRO DOCTRINE”

Abstract

The article analyzes the conditions for the formation of the American code of the messianic character of the American nation from Manifest Destiny to Make America Great Again. It is noted that US public opinion was shaped by Protestant dogmas and presented the world as an arena of struggle between “good” represented by Americans and evil represented by all those who disagree with the idea of messianism. A fundamental belief with messianic overtones made the United States expansionist from the very beginning, giving rise to the initial decision to become a continental giant that would eventually extend its messianic influence to the world. It is shown that after the Second World War, the status of the United States became that of a “superpower” and the term “Pax Americana” is used to describe the superiority of the American superpower. The article analyzes the creation of the Euro-Atlantic security system, which is now in crisis. The main reason for the US involvement in European integration was undoubtedly that American decision-makers – and their Western European counterparts – began to see it as a strategy of “order-building” that was necessary to address the Soviet threat. The victory of D. Trump is not just a simple change in the name of the new US President, it is a change in the country's foreign policy course, and after the new president's loud statements, a change in the global order. The era that began with Donald Trump's coming to power is called the “Donro Doctrine.” It is in line with the Monroe Doctrine, which has determined US leadership in the Western Hemisphere for almost 200 years. In the American press, Trump's claims to Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Canal are called the Donro Doctrine. The time for diplomacy of money and deals is coming.
