personally I don't see why people use the platform with downvotes visible lol, that being said a lot of the statements are valid, but I also believe that it will be worse with Trump as well. I mean he did meet with Netanyahu and tell him to just get the war over with and kill them all, and he has shown solid support of the war. Up to and including saying that a ceasefire is worthless and counterproductive to victory. He's all but said he wants the genocide to continue on both sides. I'm firmly concerned that if he gets in, his way of "solving the issue" will be sending the US military to resolve the issue, and that's not something the US needs right now with the tension between other countries already high.

and before anyone says he can't do that, remember the last officially declared war was WW2 and that the standard tactic is the president (who is commander and chief) sends troops in for his maximum allowed days, then he turns around and says to Congress "so are you going to help our troops or not?" which moreorless forces their hand at supporting the war.
