There is nobody in the world that would be able to contain it. Nobody is even close to having the conventional power projection capabilities required for this. Even if “only” democracy ends in America and a dictatorship takes its place, the rest of the world is going to suffer horribly. In the short run alone, all sorts of autocratic regimes (Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, plus a couple others in South America and Africa) that were primarily or entirely limited by America’s global military presence keeping a lid on them would immediately cease the opportunity to turn entire regions of this planet into warzones. That alone is horrific.

A complete breakup of America on the other hand (which could happen if a dictatorship failed to establish itself) could be a potential doomsday event, I agree with you. The economic shocks caused by this alone would send the world into chaos and that’s not even taking the danger of nuclear war (civil and global) into account.

Even if we get an isolationist Trump administration controlled by the Kremlin, this would also be catastrophic, for numerous reasons, from weakening NATO to stalling and reverting desperately needed action on climate change. Hell, imagine another global pandemic, once again without anyone at the helm. Love or hate the US, it was clear that the lack of American leadership during COVID-19 was the primary factor responsible for the poor global response to it.

The effort to break up [NOAA] is part of a strategy of hear no evil, see no evil: If you don’t report on climate change, then perhaps it doesn’t exist.

The same thing was done by Conservatives in the Spanish provinces that have just been ravaged by flooding. They dismantled government agencies responsible for monitoring the effects of climate change and provide aid to affected communities, which made it impossible to prepare and warn citizens, resulting in hundreds of deaths and enormous amount of destruction.

Not just fully grown women, unfortunately.

The tent is getting bigger.

Now I definitely know you’re a Russian troll. This is exactly the kind of political apathy the Russian regime wants to establish in America after having done so at home years ago.

The two parties are nowhere near the same on this topic, there is no genocide being funded and the whole handler nonsense makes you sound like a Russian troll.

Voting for a third party candidate only helps Trump. They might as well just vote for him directly. The outcome is the same and if America and the world are unlucky enough to experience a second Trump term, then these idiots would strongly regret their decision. Palestinians wouldn’t be the only ones to suffer from this.

I think the ragebait and blogspam rules apply. Why should we care about the idiotic ramblings of this blogger?

The military industrial complex is currently also doing what it’s supposed to be doing by helping defend Ukraine and thereby Europe. There are two sides to this coin. One could also argue that it makes a lot of sense for the United States to help defend the only democracy in the Middle East, not just for strategic reasons.

Russia is also supporting Hamas. Both wars are part of a global conflict already.

If it’s their choice, then the consequences of their actions also theirs. Palestinians have been remarkably awful at choosing their leaders. Every single one of them has abused and betrayed them.

Hamas aren’t fighting for freedom and self-determination. Don’t try and reframe the efforts of an Islamist terror organization that wishes to murder all Jews and create a global caliphate.

So far, he’s been right, unfortunately.

We all know they lied, but until it’s proven that they did instead of making “honest” mistakes, that’s a neutral way of describing what his lawyers did.

Adblock your life and don’t consume anything that can’t be adblocked.

If you think the Western world is bad in this regard, then you only need to take one look outside of it. This is as good as it gets right now in terms of teaching independent thinking. There are lots of issues and gaps, but the rest of the world is considerably worse in this regard, especially Asia.

Explains a lot.

That’s not correct. Israel is the 9th largest weapons exporter in the world. They can produce most of the weapons they are getting from America themselves, as well as a number of indigenous arms that you can’t get anywhere else. They have in fact entire ammunition factories ready to go online within days, just in case they need them. Getting aid from the US is however much cheaper for them (of course) - and it also buys America not insignificant influence over Israel and access to Israel’s high-tech weaponry, like the Iron Dome, Trophy and various drones, all of which are extensively used by US forces, as well as other close allies of Israel. That’s on top of all of the civilian research and cooperation, which is not insignificant either.

Are you going to become a single-issue voter over this or are you willing to accept the fact that there is no politician who is perfect for you?
