    Hate to admit it, but the US president election result will affect the entire world.

    The election of “the most powerful man/woman on earth” is no joke.

      I agree, which is why it’s even sadder that it is a joke. And even if you think they’re different domestically, they’re identical on foreign policy.

      So the rest of the world already knows what’s coming in that regard. I’m just sick of hearing about it.

        I feel like Trump is probably gonna be a little lighter on Ukraine and a little heavier on Taiwan/Palestine, but it’s only by degrees

          heavier on Palestine

          Heavier than billions of dollars in genocide equipment and full-throated legal and military protection and collaboration? I don’t think America will, or really can, kill them much harder than they currently are being killed. The other two may be true, but that is a light give-and-a-take.

            “I had a bad experience with Bibi,” Trump says. In his telling, a January 2020 U.S. operation to assassinate a top Iranian general was supposed to be a joint attack until Netanyahu backed out at the last moment. “That was something I never forgot,” he says. He blames Netanyahu for failing to prevent the Oct. 7 attack, when Hamas militants infiltrated southern Israel and killed nearly 1,200 people amid acts of brutality including burning entire families alive and removed women and girls. “It happened on his watch,” Trump says.

            our big wet boy thinks that Bibi isn’t murderous enough. this is also not posturing and chest beating, this is actual action

            that, and

            Trump says he would join Israel’s side in a confrontation with Iran. “If they attack Israel, yes, we would be there,” he tells me. He says he has come around to the now widespread belief in Israel that a Palestinian state existing side by side in peace is increasingly unlikely. “There was a time when I thought two-state could work,” he says. “Now I think two-state is going to be very, very tough.”

            complete elimination of Palestine

      Changing the figurehead on the ship of international capital doesn’t do much to change its direction
