It seems like there’s no way that Biden can make any negotiation with Russia seem like a win to his base so if he wins it’s almost an automatic 4 more years of war. But if Trump wins he could make most of the concessions that Russia wants and still sell it as “the best deal” to his fans. Is a trump win the best hope for shortening war?

Disclaimer: I would never vote for trump, I also won’t vote for Biden, I’m also in a state that always goes one way so it doesn’t matter at all.

      Yep. Saw an interview with the president of Mexico where he said he didn’t care who got elected in 2020 because the rest of the world was well aware that the american people and the politicians they elect had very little to do with american foreign policy

      I kinda think Trump is the rare exception to our consensus on foreign policy. He doesn’t care about any of the “inside baseball” perspectives in Washington. For him, politics is 100% spectacle – he doesn’t have hard beliefs about foreign policy in the way that our typical politicians do. I could see him trying to end the war just so he could say “I succeeded where Joe couldn’t!”
