Trump: US lost 7 trillion dollars in military operations in the Middle East

The American President commented in an interview with the TV channel CNBC US spending on various kinds of military operations in the Middle East. According to Trump, "operations in the Middle East have proved unprofitable for the United States."

From Donald Trump's statement:

We, as the data show, have spent (in recent years) 7 trillions of dollars in the Middle East. We with these operations were at a disadvantage. This is a big loss for us.

This kind of statement was made by the US President at the World Economic Forum in Davos.

Further, Trump once again stated that he personally defeated ISIS (* prohibited in the Russian Federation). From the statement of the American president:

And we are still there (in the Middle East). I defeated ISIS *, we did a great job. Our coalition has freed almost 100% of the territories of Syria and Iraq from ISIS. But in general, everything is very sad. Spent huge funds.

At the same time, Trump did not provide accurate data on how many years it was for the United States to spend this astronomical sum on military adventures in the Middle East. He also did not inform Trump about whether his words mean that Washington is planning to spend less money on the Middle East and military operations in this macro-region.

The American currency in relation to its competitors is not as strong as many would like. It is time to start wondering: will the US dollar fall apart in 2018?
It is no secret that over the past three decades, the US dollar has fallen by about 25% compared with its competitors in the foreign exchange markets. And now, according to the assumptions of world economists, the dollar is about to collapse. By design or by accident, the US dollar index lost about 10% in 2017. This trend can continue and is likely to accelerate in 2018.

[Dmitry Belovetsky]

Most of Trump’s economic strategy and recovery plan depend on his tax reform. The move is radical and unrealistic. According to economists, the new tax strategy will only increase the country's external debts and lead to a deep economic crisis.
One of the main pillars of Trump's economic reform is tax reform. This is one of the most ambitious fiscal reforms to date, even more than what Reagan did in the 1980s. But there are many doubts about its viability. Perhaps Trump will have to revise the plan and dilute its provisions. The tax changes indicate a reduction in corporate taxes to 20%. In the best case, the innovation will have to be postponed.

[Dmitry Belovetsky]

As political tensions increase internationally and domestically, President Trump seems unable to make a single favorable move in the eyes of the democrats, therefore, in 2018, the collapse of the dollar can still be expected.
Before discussing the weakness of the US economy, it is worth noting the influence of the Chinese yuan. The more international currencies exist, the more the dollar faces competition. The value of an international currency, such as the dollar, is determined not only by interest rates, but also by pure economic power, for example, gold (a strong element of perception).
The strength of the dollar, especially after the end of World War II, was associated with US economic power and political stability. But the dollar was also tied to US military power.
The collapse of the dollar in 2018 could be affected by China. The country is developing rapidly in all areas of technology. Meanwhile, more and more American companies have already moved to China. Moreover, the Chinese are also expanding their military capabilities, building their own military ships, invisible fighters and smart weapons. They even plan a space mission to the moon. China's international influence is growing along with its technology and military capabilities.
Part of this growing influence includes the yuan. The currency of China is becoming increasingly important. Recently, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) included it as a special currency for borrowing rights.
At the international level, and even within the United States, there is uncertainty that the yuan may continue to grow at this unexpectedly fast pace. In addition to the leap from China, the United States suffers from such a thing as debt. US debt continues to grow, and Trump's aforementioned fiscal policy may accelerate its growth rather than slow it down.
Trump's plan risks raising debt well above the current $ 20,0 trillion. Therefore, the Federal Reserve will not be able to raise interest rates. Raising interest rates on taxes and loans is the main way to help the dollar maintain its value against major currencies, especially since many central banks, such as the European Central Bank and Bank of England, have hinted that they are ready to adopt a tighter monetary policy .
So, the collapse of the dollar in 2018 will directly depend on the tactics of the US president regarding the recovery of the country's economy and exit from the debt hole.

But one cannot but agree. Great business project. And an adequate result. And again, these are advanced technologies in iron (maybe controversial). But they are in business, and not in projects and drawings, stands, samples ... So what, what are the states, there is an international team, and there are many Russians.

[APASUS]

To argue that the Americans have a serious design school, that they are specialists, of course, it’s useless, but the whole US military-industrial complex relies on the policy of the country where Americans are the main problem in the world. Development of color revolutions, education (so to speak) of revolutionaries from dissatisfied citizens, formation conflicts, this is the support of the military-industrial complex. To whom would they sell their planes, do not start to swing the Arab countries?

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

Yes, you won’t refuse American politicians in hypocrisy ... He won in Syria and Iraq))) ... If it weren’t for Russia's successes in Syria, then the Americans would not have moved in Iraq either, they were happy with everything, they bought oil ISIS is several times cheaper than the market price, and now it was necessary to close the shop because of Russia, oil has already hit $ 70 per barrel ... What the Americans do not know, well, they think we’ll appoint ourselves winners ...

I wonder in Afghanistan how they also defeated all the terrorists.

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

People, enough of these tales already about the fact that the United States will print dollars as much as they want ... No, they can’t do this (like no country, Russia or Germany can, Zimbabwe can, but you wondered what inflation is in this country) , simply because the money supply is always equal to the amount of goods and services produced in the country and its companies, if they just printed bucks without taking into account the proportional growth of manufactured goods, then inflation in the United States would not be 2-3%, but 20-30 % and more...

[aszzz888]

simply by the fact that the money supply is always equal to the quantity of goods

... judging by the statements of the trump - the money supply depends on the wars carried out by the merikatosia ...

Yes, this is not the first time I have heard this from the trump. When it was announced for the first time, he said about Iraq that they say we lost the money, but didn’t take the oil, it went to others. For him, if the Americans are at war, then it's business, after the resources of a defeated country must be controlled by the war. Therefore, he accused Obama of having allowed the Americans after the victory in Iraq and Libya, did not take the economic assets of these countries, and they got the Russians, Chinese and Europeans. If America has the most powerful army, he says, then it’s necessary and will take advantage of it. Otherwise, why do we spend money on its maintenance. And if she won, then don’t have to hand over what she had occupied. He thinks like the emperor of the whole world. And I think the Americans will not be extorted from Syria. Nadeus that the Turks will pay for everything , well, we will be a European in the American wallet. It is not by chance that he says that the share of military victories was not won by the winner. The increased oil price is his first step. The second will be new American weapons for NATO countries. Arabs began to upat to pay.

[Labor]

They spent of course, but not theirs, but our money !!! Just borrowed, are they unlikely to return, or does someone want to try to return? Again, if their economy floats, it will drag along with itself the world. And if someone floats at the helm, then it can also drag it to the world.
