    It’s a good thing the winner will be even more hardcore Israel then, won’t it be? Isn’t that the goal of costing Biden the election?

        Yeah, that’s the thing. What is the strategy? Petty retribution on Biden for … existing policy that isn’t going to change with the Congress we have, and would whiplash when a Republican gets elected again?

      Trump might be less hardcore Israel because it doesn’t align with Russia’s interests. /s. He’s an isolationist. The goal? It’s a representation of the sentiment of the country.

        Trump moved the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv, where it had been for a very long time, to Jerusalem in order to make a show of power for Israel’s claim that Jerusalem is their sole domain. He also wants to stop Muslims from entering the United States. You know who he has no problem with entering the United States? Israelis.

        But sure, he’s totally less hardcore on Israel.

        Israel and a war in the middle East is hugely important to his evangelical base. Putin wouldn’t mind as it leaves him free to take more of Europe.
