    why does harris mean world war 3?

    is it because of funneling weapons to israel? because trump has promised to do that too. and has also promised NOT to work for a ceasefire.

      On reflection they probably mean Donald would ensure Ukraine is taken over, which is true. I suppose that means delaying WWIII until Russia’s next invasion.

      They must have forgotten Donald tweeting (nuclear?) threats at Iran from the Oval Office. Or they don’t think that would be a World War situation.

      I think he was talking about big scary Pootin, threatening for the undecillionth time to push the big scary red button. Don’t think about Pootin being to scared to even call for a mobilization, just ignore that he’d rather throw north koreans into the meat grinder than his own voter base, because he’s scared of them. Just ignore that. Focus on that big red scary button. WW3 around the corner!

      Ah yes Harris is totally working towards a ceasefire

      Like the one that Hamas just rejected because it did not call for Israel to stop bombing or for it to withdraw troops or for Palestinians to be able to return to their homes

      Yes definitely a ceasefire if you let one side keep bombing

        You are naive if you think giving countries who threaten war or even start them everything they want and more is going to decrease the chance of more of the same.

        and I’m not actually sure if he even means what he says.

        don’t you think it says something that this is the only excuse people who defend trump can come up with anymore

            Yeah I really got that impression from your comment framing Trump’s stances on various wars as reasonable compared to Harris’s

              I wouldn’t use the term “reasonable”, because I don’t think Trump’s positions are well-reasoned, or even well-informed. I think his foreign policy is one of apathy rather than one of enlightened peacekeeping.

              But I’ll take that over Harris’s instinct for military aggression, especially with the world on the brink of WW3.
