Warsaw - Matteo Cazzulani, the associated expert of the Centre for Global Studies "Strategy XXI" with field of interest on Trans Atlantic relationships, underlined that Donald Trump, the front runner in the presidential primaries of the Republican Party, backs isolationism, a political theory quite popular in the United States before World War Two that opposes any commitment of the United States to international issues, as the promotion worldwide of democracy and liberty.
Mr. Cazzulani, during an interview on the Polish National Radio Broadcast Polskie Radio, conducted by journalist Olena Babakova, also pointed out that the international allies to Trump oppose the strengthening of both the European Union and NATO. These political leaders, such as French National Front leader Marie Le Pen and the secretary of Italian Northern League Matteo Salvini, lobby the interest of the Russian Federation on energy, military and political issues, and openly urge the International Community to lift economic sanctions on the Kremlin over Russia's annexation of Crimea and agression in Eastern regions of Ukraine.
"Trump, who utilizes islamophobia as a means to gain support from American citizens worried and frustrated amid global crisis, considers Russian President Vladimir Putin to be an ally to his global crusade against Muslims. Moreover, Trump, whose victory in next U.S. general election would weaken NATO and endanger the security of the member states of the European Union, has proven himself to have a distorted perception of Europe by appointing Paul Manafort, an adviser to former Ukrainian autocratic leader Viktor Yanukovych, the head manager of his campaign" Mr. Cazzulani said.
