Oh I'm well aware.

It's a choice between a slower genocide and a faster one including annexation of the West Bank.
Between a slightly hesitant puppet and one that idolizes the puppet master.

It's up to Europe and the Global South to step up as Netanyahu and Aipac have the USA by their rapidly shrinking balls.

The USA doesn't care about international law. The US still hasn't paid reparations to Nicuragua as ordered by the ICJ in 1986 instead the USA withdrew from the ICJ in 1985 when they saw an unfavorable outcome coming. And again or rather further under Trump "The Trump administration on Wednesday pulled out of two international agreements after Iran and the Palestinians complained to the International Court of Justice about U.S. policies, the latest withdrawal by Washington from multilateral accords."

And yes Harris is just a slightly more hesitant puppet than Biden.


Maybe Trump in office will quicken the demise of the US as a disruptive world power and healing can start a bit sooner.

You can keep hope alive but it takes way more than just the President to demise the US.  People continue to forget that the President only represent 1/3 of the federal government and even still his powers are well defined and limited.  Even his EO orders can be contested in court, and most are even hard to implement or find funding in certain situations.  So no, one president isn't going to be much impact outside of the 4 years of their term.  No matter what, what is happening in the west bank will remain their issues unless they can get support from way more countries that can impact Isarael outside of the US.  

The US has never cared about International law unless they are enforcing it.  Neither Biden or Harris are puppets, its just not an issue the US as a whole cares enough about to be something political motivated outside of the current status.

I'm not hoping for the demise of the US, just for US' influence on the rest of the world to diminish. Which is already happening with the Global South, parts of Asia, ME moving to BRICS.

Trump shows Europe can't keep relying on the US "to do the right thing", a lot of the rest of the world has already come to that conclusion.


It's also not that Palestinians can't get support from way more countries, the main obstacle is the US blocking most if not all efforts to solve the conflict. And Trump has only been making it worse with the Abraham accords. A big reason why Arab nations aren't supporting a Palestinian state, addicted to US dollars and military support. https://responsiblestatecraft.org/abraham-accords-peace-middle-east/

The US is only interested in division, while China is actively brokering deals between Saudi-Arabia and Iran to find a path to peace in the ME.

The US as a whole not caring about what's done in their name is exactly the issue.
