The world is becoming a much more dangerous place.
Not because Trump's huffing and puffing would have prevented new wars.
The balance of world powers, has become much more dangerous.

As the article states...

"Trump has also declared it’s time to “get back to peace and stop killing people.” But he’s reportedly told the Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu to “do what you have to do.”

The Republican contender prides himself on being a peacemaker. “I will have peace in the Middle East, and soon,” he vowed in an interview with Saudi Arabia’s Al Arabiya TV on Sunday night.

He’s promised to expand the 2020 Abraham Accords. These bilateral agreements normalised relations between Israel and a few Arab states, but were widely seen to have sidelined the Palestinians and ultimately contributed to the current unprecedented crisis."

That is, the Abraham Accords that Trump helped put in place,
sidelined the Palestinians, and heavily lead to the current mess
in the Gaza Strip, as the Palestinians (again) put their trust in a
violent Islamic terrorist group, Hamas, to "bring them freedom".

Professionals warn that whoever is elected in the U.S., the world
will become a more dangerous place.

Trump's promise of tariffs on Communist Chinese imports, also
pressures the outcase regimes of the world (including chine and Russia)
to form their own trading leagues. Just as the Islamic terrorist groups are
tending to cooperate, so too, the outcast regimes of the world are
joining hands to fight the democratic nations of the world.

Climate change from pollution, is causing terrific damage worldwide.As the article states...

"But as Hurricanes Milton and Helene raged, Trump derided environmental plans and policies to confront this climate emergency as “one of the greatest scams of all time.” Many expect him to pull out of the 2015 Paris climate agreement as he did in his first term.

However, Ms Robinson believes Trump cannot stop the momentum now gathering steam. “He cannot halt the US energy transition and roll back the billions of dollars in green subsidies... nor can he stop the indefatigable non-federal climate movement.”

She also urged Harris, who still hasn’t fleshed out her own stance, to step up “to show leadership, build on the momentum of recent years, and spur other major emitters to pick up the pace.” "


There are concerns that Trump would diminish America's contibutions to humanitarian
efforts, just as he pulled the U.S. out of the World Health Organization.
---------- ----------

Despite Trump's claims that the world would have been a more
wonderful place, if he had been in office, the international consensus
is that the world is becoming a more dangerous place, for many reasons
(and that Trump would not have significantly changed this).

What do you feel about all of this?

Kamala Harris hasn't laid out any clear plan to resolve the Ukrainian conflict, but she has indicated that the current approach is the correct one: that is escalation through giving arms to Ukraine, loosening restrictions on what that nation can target inside Russia, etc. The Biden administration won't even talk to Putin, and doesn't seem to be interested in any kind of ceasefire, peace-treaty, etc. It is continued NATO expansion, antagonism, and pushing the world towards a nuclear holocaust

Only a European journalist could be schizophrenic enough to think the candidate who is calling for peace is the one who is "more dangerous"

If Kamala gets into office and gives Ukraine long range missiles and tells them they can hit Moscow, nukes could fly. Pretty sure that is a very dangerous thing

The whole climate hysteria is nonsense when the nations worried about the weather are pushing for a wider and more destructive war. Let's see how much pollution and destruction 4 more years of European war will cause

I am not saying Trump's foreign policy is perfect (he is generally bad on Israel and the ME, and is pretty hostile towards China), but Harris will be a lot more aggressive and antagonistic. The military-industrial complex loves her. She is a left-wing Nikki Haley

Huh? That doesn't follow at all. Not to anybody that knows anything about Russia's situation.

Russia is part of the problem when it comes to the climate. As an oil and gas producing nation that views itself as being outside the rule of law, they have a stake in delaying serious action on climate change and perpetuating fossil fascism abroad. And MAGA most certainly has shown itself more than open to fossil fascist politics, which endangers the entire ecosphere and human civilization.

Who told you that fossil fuel production was "fascist"?

go turn off all the oil and gas plants in this country and see what happens

Fossil fascism is a specific term that refers to authoritarian nationalism funded by extractive, polluting monied interests and industries. Putin is one of the leading global promoters of fossil fascism.
