Abstract:

The article is a continuation of the discussion on the international policy of President Barack Obama during his two term in office, in relation to the proclaimed values ​​and the impact on global security. It can be seen that his approach to international politics was more ideological than that of other American administrations. One of the most important and last explanations of such action was the interview with him and the subsequent debate in The Atlantic monthly. With regard to this discussion, the authors suggest a dichotomous correlation between President Obama's left-liberal views and the American establishment's search for a politically correct ideology that could be used as an ideological tool or shield for the needs of international "good intentions" games through the prism of appropriately developed presidential speeches . Some of the US media outlets have been part of the explanation for this correlation. In this sense, the dual question arises of how good this approach is for transatlantic relations and how it affects global security. From the perspective of their earlier article, the authors revalue part of President Obama's global security policy. The fundamental content relates to the discussions in The Atlantic, but the main elements focus on the cause-effect relationships that critically depict the presidential security policy regarding American realism in foreign relations and a pragmatic perspective.
