I consider myself a fairly rational, tolerant person. Not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but able to understand/tolerate people with different world views.
What I cannot understand is how anybody can find a rational reason for wanting Ex-President Trump back in power. This is the same person who suggested swallowing or injecting yourself with bleach and/or somehow irradiating yourself with ultraviolet light to kill the Corona virus, all whilst being the President of the USA (over 1.1 million people died).
Harris may or may not be the President that the USA needs, but it does not need someone who lies, cheats and steals his way to power. Trump is lying or is just plain naive when he says that he will stop the war in Ukraine in 24 hours if he is elected President. I agree that Ukraine would fight on with or without the backing of the USA. I would hope that Europe would take up most of the slack.
It was pleasing to hear Harris (latest press conference with Zelensky) say that she was prepared to give Ukraine what it needs to win the war with Russia (or words to that extent). History will reveal whether or not she is good for her word.
I am not familiar with all the details of Zelensky's victory plan, but was there any reference to the full mobilisation of Ukraines population & resources for war? If not, then I cannot fully hold the west responsible for the tardiness in supplying weapons to Ukraine.
Clearly it is going to take to combined efforts of the western democracies to overcome the challenges of the autocracies of Russia, China, Iran and North Korea. That includes Australia, who is falling further behind in its support for Ukraine by the day. We need to implement the recommendations from the Senate Inquiry into Australian Support for Ukraine, especially (ie immediately) Recommendation 14. If we cannot support a fellow democracy, then what hope do we have for ourselves? We may be an island, but that won't help us when it comes to our defence. If Trump gets in, all bets are off.
