The Democratic Party leadership has been Trump’s unintentional best friend

He would replace the mercurial and dangerousYet four years later, exactly the reverse has happened. Savage wars rage in Ukraine and the Middle East which show no sign of ending.
He is often referred to as an “isolationist”, but it would be more accurate to call him a “unilateralist”, suspicious of alliances with foreign states whose interests diverge from those of the US. Most Israelis tell pollsters that they support him and he has criticised Biden for seeking to stop Israel attacking Iranian nuclear facilities.
The melodrama of the US presidential election – greater this year than at any time since 1968 – has overshadowed the mounting dangers of war.
