Pentagon: Trump wants a new name for defense: “Ministry of War”

US President Donald Trump wants to rename the defense department into “War Ministry”. The Republican is planning to sign a corresponding regulation on Friday, as the dpa from the White House was confirmed according to the corresponding media reports.

Defense Minister: “Warrior Ethos” revive

The step had been paved for a long time – Trump always thought about it loudly. US Defense Minister Pete Hegseth said this week on the TV station “Fox News” that they wanted to revive a “war ethos” and thus put it off to the outside world. This does not happen because you are looking for conflicts. You want to make the home country safer.

The name “Ministry of War” is not new. According to the “New York Times”, this name was used until shortly after the Second World War. According to the US government, the name and the Ministry were created in 1789. With regard to the responsibilities of the congress, the US newspaper wrote that it is unclear whether the name would come into force immediately according to Trump’s arrangement.

Image of the peace pentch?

The US President is actually working to convey the image of the peace pentifier that ends wars. It is an open secret that Trump would like to have the Nobel Peace Prize. In the past few months, he has presented several peace agreements under the roles of the United States. However, his efforts to end the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine have so far had no breakthrough.

US government mantra: peace through strength

The course of the US government is also to achieve peace through strength and dominance. There had recently been several military missions. In June, the United States had intervened to war against Iran on the side of Israel and bombed Iranian nuclear facilities. According to Trump’s command, US military aircraft had dropped bunker-breaking bombs. This is how the country’s nuclear plans should be weakened.

Military against drug cartels and crime

However, US military is recently used in completely different contexts. Days ago there was a US strike against a boat launched from Venezuela in the South Caribbean on which drugs were said to have been transported. Trump posted a video of the attack with eleven dead, which looked like a deterrent. The United States wants to prevent the country from being flooded with drugs.

In addition, you can currently see military on the streets in the US capital. Trump had activated the national guard weeks ago – because of the allegedly sprawling crime. The Republican described Washington as a “rat hole”. Months ago he had ordered soldiers to Los Angeles so that these protests on the streets prevent deportation raids.
