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

[ILoveAnnaQuay]

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

For Gaza? its hard to imagine. As far as the wider "regional conflict" goes... hmmm. If Israel feel the have the green light to go harder after Iran than they have been so far it could get interesting (I agree I don't think he is necessarily interested in starting a war with other countries himself. That's not the only way things can escalate. But I think its really hard to say because Trump is quite unpredictable, and the middle east is incredibly complicated.

This is whet I think he'll do. It's a terrifying thought.

in order to weaken them both militarily and financially, until the eventually have to negotiate, like German did after the First World War.

That went well!

I don't think he will with regards to Ukraine at least. I think with Ukraine, he will stop funding them, which to he fair will have the same effect- mean Ukraine will have to give huge swathes of the country to Putin. Not sure about Israel, but if he takes on Iran that takes out Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis. I'm no fan of Trump ( far from it) but I don't think either of those things are necessarily bad. Ukraine cannot win this war, only endlessly drag it out. Hamas and the rest are terrorising the ME and refusing to negotiate because they couldn't give a damn about Palestinians/ Lebanese etc.

How right you were!
