Being president of the United States is the greatest responsibility in the world. The USA is the first consolidated world power after the fall of the USSR in 1989 until today; What your current government decides, in one way or another, affects the lives of the rest of humanity, in all fields: economic, legal, cultural, commercial, etc. For this reason, this election is perhaps the most important election so far this century, due to the very conflictive times we live in today in different key regions of the world. They are conflicts where the United States participates indirectly and is decisive in deciding whether to continue or end the wars. After all, they are the ones who supply the Western side with military logistics. Today, these conflicts are not against small countries as in the Obama and Bush era (Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, etc.); but against emerging powers that have a greater capacity to respond and can scale in their respective regions. In other words, you are playing with fire; Any false step would provoke an unprecedented war and would involve all the countries of the globe, directly and indirectly, if the new president who wins these elections, or the new president, makes a wrong or ill-intentioned decision: the world will pay for his recklessness. . There are three sources of war tension that have been activated since the beginning of the Biden administration that the new government will have to resolve: the Russia-Ukraine war, Israel-Gaza (involving the Arab community), and the tensions between Taiwan and China. That is the legacy of the war-mongering Democratic administration covered by the big media and its international agencies, which make the world believe that the Republicans are the only “bad guys” and responsible for everything, while the Democrats are the “good guys” and “ pacifists". In that sense, Kamala Harris is the continuation of Biden's war policy. Clearly, she does not have a government plan for the United States, much less an international political agenda. It will be a synthetic government, where she will read almost without questioning everything the teleprompter says and the scripts her advisors dictate to her so that she can show off having the highest position, which is the only thing she wants. Something similar to the current president Dina Boluarte in Peru. It will be the Deep state government, which will make her believe that everything is fine and that the American people support her, while they continue their wars that are giving them so many economic benefits. On the other hand, Donald Trump has already expressed his position: "End the war between Russia and Ukraine" and avoid an escalation that leads to a "Third World War." However, with him all is not peace. He has expressed his unconditional support for Israel, saying that "We will not allow Israel to lose the war," escalating in that region. The US needs to maintain its presence in that strategic area and cannot lose that position to have commercial control on those routes. Likewise, a second Trump government will continue something that it left half done: a possible intervention in Venezuela. Something it was trying to do at the beginning of the pandemic, increasing sanctions and sending warships to the Caribbean coasts. "That will soon end," said Elon Musk, his friend and campaign financier, referring to Maduro's re-elected government, after his interview with Trump on his X platform. That is, what Trump is going to do is transfer the war to other minor but important sources of conflict in resources. For these reasons, in these elections, the demand that the United States have a president worthy of the current times not only comes from the citizens of that country, but from a large part of the International Society that seeks peace in the world. A new ruler for the United States who at least reduces the sources of conflict that inevitably occur in strategic areas of the globe. On the other hand, there are also the malicious interests of certain international actors that promote wars: states, arms companies and their international media that, on the contrary, seek and justify more wars in the name of "democracy and freedom", in order to obtain more power and resources in strategic areas to continue their shady businesses at the cost of thousands of innocent lives. Realistically, the US and its partners are always promoting wars, and will never stop doing so. For their survival, the best option would be to at least avoid wars with emerging powers and send the world overboard. Finally, many of us agree that neither of the two presidential candidates, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, meet the conditions to maintain balance in the world; not elected, inevitably one of them will assume the position. The decision will be up to the American people.
