War is bitter dangerous and distractive.

There is no dispute or argument that President Trump is the most powerful world leader who can create wars or settle with his good office, strategy, of bad intentions backed by power struggle greedy for power. He is one of the richest in USA and the most powerful person on the Globe with the nuclear button in hand that could destroy the world in minutes. Obviously he could be a sensible, educated, and a man who loves the human and humanity. USA is the richest country with direct and indirect control over the world body UN, world finance and international order with strategies and world machineries. His re emergence has a direct and indirect impact and relevance to Sri Lanka and world over in various ways.  President Trump declared at the inception of the taking over power at the speech of the policy document generally given special attention by the world powers that he is anti-war unlike many others. He is the centre of power Including the world economy, safety and security of the world and states whose actions and policies are paramount to the world peace as well as economy. President Trump’s   policy on  ‘’NO WAR’’ has been a given   a sigh of relief to many including Sri Lanka and many peace loving nations, as the world has experiences two major wars previously  with deaths destructions and irreparable losses still felt by many parts of the world which are documented as sad memories out of which the memories of Hiroshima, Nagasaki and the destructions at Vietnamese Middle East  Wars and more  before and  after after two world wars. are cruel and and given rise to a path of peaceful and co existence with the advent of the United nations Organisation gave  high expectations for the  peace world with peaceful world order despite conflicts and running wars. International  or national wars will bring disastrous results by using  the most powerful and sophisticated weaponry backed by modern scientific inventions. Any war is destructive bitter and will cause deaths and will cause wanton damages to the properties and nations.

United Nations Organization

It is after the unfortunate events of the second worldwar that the  world leaders formed the United Nations Organization replacing the League of Nation they felt insufficient. Mainly to maintain the world peace and avoid any possibilities of any other war wars in future. United nations Organization consist of  five world powers as a supreme body with Vito powers to overpower any resolution with no reasons,  and the five powerful nations are rich and  deals in Arms deals and engage is the industry which is very profitable and lucrative depending on arms supply to the parties on war. No war and peaceful world is no business for them. Sri Lanka is a country battered by bitter  war over thirty long years with unlimited destructions of property, of reputation, human lives and has taken the country many  decades back to the history  for revival. The wars have  been so fierce and powerful that even USA – the world policeman said that war on LTTE in Sri Lanka is not a winnable war as it has spread as cancer  and fully internalized and rooted with the powerful network that has  shaken the world. Sri Lanka is credited to win the war and aware of the bitter consequences   USA  got directly and indirectly involved in many wars in the past having tasted bitter lessons of war yet continues to engage in war strategies and arms industry deals and as a part of security, business, as a part of there  foreign policy they have given to spread the international network on positioning military worldwide. priority to.

USA as a military power base world over

Currently USA is engaged in 114 military conflicts world over, having deployed 173000 military personal in 159 countries with the potential to spark a war with the slightest move by either party is an indication how sensitive and dangerous the world is when considering the causes of previous worldwar with the loss of millions of lives and properties to the states individuals and to the history. Largest war continued for 781 years and the destruction of the bombing to Japan still haunts with the warning that a future war will last only few minutes for complete destruction of the globe, indicates the need of peace at any cost. It shows that way to war is a one-way drive by USA and the termination too is with them as other countries backed by the United nations Organization is completely on a NO WAR path shows the gravity of the situation and the sensibility of the path taken by the new President of the USA backed by the world over and UN Organization.

Worrying factor for Peace and Peaceful coexistence

Worrying factor for a peaceful world are some ruminants of fire under the ashes in areas such as Israel- Gaza issue and the Ukraine issue ignited by interested parties on the current disputed areas which is sensitive and easy to ignite.Despite wanton losses and destructions there are some parties who will be benefited on the war front and the sensible statements and steps taken by president Trump has sealed any possibilities to re-emerge the ugly head  repetition of the previous wars that still as bitter memories and wrong decisions taken by some leaders who led he strategy and destructions during the calamity. The sad part of the truth is the part played by USA in almost every conflict in some capacity in all corners of the world that gives negative effects by using the war machinery to earn on arms deals. In this context the position taken by President Trump is historical and creditable considering the joint operations of Bush, Tony Blair rules to promote the Middle East War in the guise of finding for nuclear armaments on nuclear war which never found yet caused destruction and distribution of Middle East including Iraq, and many other.

Significance of the USA foreign Policy based on the foreign policy declaration of President Trump and formulation and implementation of Sri Lankan friendly Sri Lanka foreign policy.

Foreign policy of USA  is the foreign policy of president Trump who was given a clear majority by the American people as a peace candidate for a peaceful,happy, prosperous USA based on peace and friendship the president proved immediately by extending friendship immediately the tradition fractions  and leaders of ongoing warring fractions which has the potential for the third world war if ignited leading  a wrong warring path and the world citizen will credit president trump for taking the citizen in the path of peace and peaceful coexistence unlike some of his predecessors.

USA interfering undiplomatically on internal affairs against the UN convention?

Considering the involvement of USA on economy welfare banking and all other areas in all corners of the world his election will have a direct and indict impact on a villager in ‘’Moaragala’’ to a citizen in Nigeria equally as the banking system, economy, politics and militarization is spread digitally and by AI world over and it should be the attempt and duty of the right minded technicians and educated to take it to the right direction without letting to the wrong hands and war mongers aiming at money making and acumination of wealth and power. All religions preach and prey for peace and peaceful co existence, and it is time for them to get together educating the politician south and educated to be on the path of peace and not the war path as some aspiring for for power and wealth at any cost. Wars are fought for watered, boarders, oil, resources,economic and power and supremacy over countries or regions  in the absence of a proper and effective foreign policy , diplomacy, tact, and want of peace and peaceful co existence which is the reason states give special attention and priority to foreign policy formation and implementation to suit the respective nations.

Sri Lanka friendly foreign policy for Sri Lanka

Unfortunately the newly and popularly elected new government in Sri Lanka has still not formulated a proper foreign policy to suit and compatible with the world leader and world power, it is the duty of the new governance to give top priority for the formulation and implementation of foreign policy which is the duty of the leader of the government currently performing an excellent job in meeting 67 world leaders within a space of few days with the able foreign minister usually delegated to assist the President. Today the current governance has been given an exceptional mandate from all communities in all parts of the nation with unprecedent power with over 2/3rd majority to bring necessary changes to drive the nation on the correct and best path by wiping away inefficient and ineffective traditional, and communal politicians and political systems with honest and young vigour approved by the entire nation as one unanimously few days ago. It appears the young governance has proved the efficiency and honesty by deeds and conduct approved and believe by the majority giving way to the CGANGE the nation was agitating and expecting to exercise.

Promised CHANGE?

Change he promised was echoed when he was intertied by the media at the day he won election were mainly maintain law and order, goo governance, econimic stability and reforms, rule of law eradicating of corruption and bribery which are allegations to the rejected politicians wiped out by the masses at the general elections with one voice in the bloodless revolution that revalorised the econimic and political outlook of the nearly failed nation nation emerging victorious with new vigour and rejuvenate with the new victory with the election victory. Relevance and impact of President Trump’s victory has direct relevance to Sri Lanka as he as the most poerful man on earth who is in a position to influence the UN, IMF, and other nations and international organization to be inline with the USA foreign policy and the interests including her political and econimic agendas directly supervised by the powerful diplomatic missions carefully operating the network of diplomatic, econimic, and military missions and network installed d worldwide. Therefore Sri Lanka will have to mind steps at every steps carefully with political maturity. Sarath28dw@gmail.com
