With one loose phrase Trump could easily alienate half the population
‘Unlike Biden, Harris has been even-handed in condemning the war crimes and human rights violations of both the Russians and Israelis’
Outright partisans, for example in sections of the UK conservative press, had few doubts about Trump since their passions are always all-in on any given issue. Nigel Farage and Liz Truss were practically doing a victory lap with him, even though the big fish they tried to suck onto did not waste his time meeting either of them.
Instead, the limelight has suddenly shifted from the 78-year-old convicted felon, with his mental “episodes” and weird obsessions with Hannibal Lecter and great white sharks, to 59-year-old Vice President Harris, who Biden has tipped as his successor., newspapers are suddenly filled with speculation about who Harris might pick as running mate. Will it be Josh Shapiro or JB Pritzker or Andy Beshear or Pete Buttigieg? Already in a single night another $60m flowed into Democrat coffers.
Among those forced to recalculate are Vladimir Putin, whose only discernible strategy has been to run down the clock until November in the expectation his American autocratic soulmate is returned to the White House. Then Trump would blackmail Ukraine and Volodymyr Zelensky into a peace deal unfavourable to Kyiv.
Unlike Biden, Harris has been even-handed in condemning the war crimes and human rights violations of both the Russians and Israelis. She has not rushed to visit the latter country. She has been critical of Saudi Arabia and condemned the US murder of Iranian general Qassem Soleimani in early 2020. She supported the 2015 nuclear deal which Trump ripped up, thereby hastening Iran’s march to becoming a break-out state.
Nato is not, and never should be, an Asian power, and it will certainly not be offering Article 5 protections to Japan and South Korea, let alone arming itself for a fight which requires an entirely different arsenal of weapons to the ones needed to deal with Russia.
