to be really worried for Ukraine and Gaza if Trump wins the US elections?

I'm worried sick about what will happen if Trump wins the presidency again. It isn't like 2016 when the world was more stable and Trump wasn't as manic as he seems to be now.

If he wins, will he be "managed" by his advisors or will he plough ahead with his own agenda? If so, Ukraine will be doomed and the situation in the ME will deteriorate even further.

I'm aware from social media that people in other countries - particularly the Baltic States, for obvious reasons- are very worried about this. My sister in Australia says people are talking about it a lot over there, but in the UK no one seems very interested, whereas I'm lying awake at night worrying about this.

So, AIBU for worrying about this - its not a big deal and the world won't be any less safe
or
IANBU. people need to be more concerned about this

Can you explain what good is already happening to Ukraine and in Gaza that he will undo

He will withdraw weapons from Ukraine and increase what goes to Israel in order to kill off the remaining population in Gaza, there will be no harsh words for Israel anymore. However I do not think Harris will be much better , she will just pretend now and again she cares about non Israeli civilians like Binden but will carry on sending the weapons.

I agree

I was worried the first time he became president as there was a lot of scare mongering about how he would destabilise the entire world but to be honest I think his influence is limited when it comes to the rest of the world. His ambition is to win over the American people not world domination in my view.
