Trap "power politics" or a blank check signature for intervention Muhammad Hussein Baghi The second administration of Donald Trump presented his foreign policy based on a concept called "flexible realism"; An approach that emphasizes military power, national interests and reducing dependence on international laws and institutions. Statements by White House officials and actions such as the attack on Venezuela and the arrest of Nicolás Maduro are signs of this opinion. Realism in international relations is based on the assumption that national power and interests play the main role in world politics. However, critics say the Trump administration has a narrow understanding of this school of thought and is using it to justify intervention and expanding American influence. In fact, realism emphasizes the recognition of limits and the need for self-restraint rather than the license to use unlimited power. Scholars believe that Trump's policies, from threatening to occupy territories and weakening allies to the use of military force, are far from the traditional principles of realism. Some consider this approach not realism, but "power politics"; An approach where power becomes an independent goal and display of dominance takes the place of strategic calculations. This mentality even spread to American domestic politics; When the use of armed forces, pressure on universities and media and dealing with the opposition are considered signs of expanding the concept of security and war to the domestic arena.
