“The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters,” Biden said

Putting aside that no president should say that about the citizens of their country even if there is some truth to it, I don't think Harris will lose any votes over this. People made up their mind months ago, I made up mine a year ago. There can't be people who haven't made up their mind yet.

Thank you.

The threat of a widespread conflict in the Middle East has shifted attention from Ukraine. Western fatigue with the war in Ukraine is real, “and increasingly so,” the foreign minister of Finland told the Financial Times recently.

I guess we have our answer to who has more patience. Though I expected this. Russia's political system allows more long term planning and commitments. In liberal democracies policies can change abruptly depending on who wins the election.

A tangential question, AIPAC-aside which is more important to the US: Eastern Europe or West Asia?

To me it seems Ukraine should have been a strategic priority for the US and not Israel, if it weren't for AIPAC influence, or is controlling the Eastern Mediterranean a priority for the US regardless?

I remember being called a Russian troll for asking the obvious, "why would Russia blow its own pipeline?"

The archive of the article is incomplete. I wish I could read this quote in the full context, damning as it is.

Disgusting. When it comes to the Middle East the current US administration has no bottom. From meddling to genocide, the Democrats just keep on giving.

More options is good for everyone

The US-Israel genocide in Gaza radicalized me in ways I couldn’t imagine. None of what’s happening should be happening if Western governments actually stood for the values they weaponize against other governments and nations.

The polls suggest that less than ten percent oppose the genocide

I guess it will depend on who has more patience. Russia or the EU. I don't think the US will support Ukraine for too long even if Harris wins. But I am not an analyst, I am just guessing.

35-40% of Lebanese are Christians, it will be interesting if Europeans will care or tell the difference.

You got me. I’m the Russian troll and/or Chinese bot.
