“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 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.

To think that the US is still punishing Zimbabwe for freeing themselves from settler colonialism

To think Ukraine could have been in a better place if Biden wasn’t an Israel-first president. I am surprised China didn’t take advantage of the US’s distraction to retake Taiwan.

At this rate I think what will happen is that Russia will keep the Russian speaking regions in the east and Ukraine will join NATO. Neither side will get all of what they wanted.

Polls suggest that they are 10% or less of the population though there is a severe crackdown on dissent in Israel now

Do homeschooled kids watch Nickelodeon?

The more I learn of US history the more I dislike it.

I have an idea, how about everyone votes for whoever they like? Freedom of choice and all that. I personally don’t like racists and genociders, so Harris lost my vote and Trump never had it. I was actually willing to give Harris a chance after Biden dropped but she delivered one insult after another, she clearly doesn’t want my vote. Would you vote for someone who insults you or those you care about?

I remember the Firefox 2, 3 and 4 hype back in the day trying out the betas and waiting for the release. Since 5 though I stopped caring.

Not only did the Democrats not deliver on the Green New Deal they promised, but they expanded the private prisons at the border https://www.aclu.org/news/immigrants-rights/unchecked-growth-private-prison-corporations-and-immigration-detention-three-years-into-the-biden-administration
