Trump's Actions in Los Angeles: A Test for Democracy?

In recent days, Los Angeles has been at the center of chaos as President Donald Trump ordered thousands of National Guard troops and hundreds of Marine Corps soldiers into the city. This move has been widely criticized, and California Governor Gavin Newsom has condemned Trump's actions as unconstitutional and illegal. Newsom has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, arguing that the president has overstepped his authority and violated the state's sovereignty.

The Erosion of Democracy: History Repeats Itself?

The actions of the Trump administration raise concerns about how democracy can gradually shift toward authoritarian rule. History has shown that leaders often exploit crises to justify consolidating power. For example, in 1930s Europe, Mussolini and Hitler used political unrest and violence to rationalize their authoritarian measures. Trump's decision to deploy troops without state approval bears a troubling resemblance to these historical precedents.

European nations have traditionally depended on American weapons, but the instability and authoritarian tendencies of the Trump administration have led many countries to question the U.S. as a reliable arms supplier.

ECAAU (Europe, Canada, Asia, Australia Union) has emerged as a potential replacement for NATO, aiming to strengthen military cooperation without U.S. influence. This alliance could provide an alternative to American arms and enable a more independent defense strategy.
