I think it is pretty rational to disrupt shipping to put pressure on the US to end the genocide in gaza

Pretty sure the 3rd and 4th lines are now meant to be read as

Death to Israel a Curse Upon the Jews

I think they've mellowed out a lot as they've taken power in Yemen

Trump did a random missile strike on an Iranian general, he can unpredictably escalate stuff.

But the second half is contradicted by numerous reports from Trump that his approach would have been to “take a deal” and get out.

Okay but do you think he'd actually follow through, and do you think that a negotiated end to the war would be a bad thing?

The thing is Trump would either weaken nato by insisting on member nations upping their military expenditures or escalate the war.

In the first case NATO doesn't need to weaken for Russia to accomplish its immediate objectives, it is weak enough already.

In the latter case nukes might fly.

It makes sense for Putin to want Biden to stay president, there would be no additional winning and major risk with a Trump presidency.

Imagine having coherent politics and recognizing that Putin knows that Biden is more stable than Trump and would be less likely to escalate the war in Ukraine...

...Instead of having to be like "is he playing mindgames? Is this him trolling us? He says he wants blue team to win in 2024, but we are blue team and we hate him!"

Biden only passively wants to kill us and is willing to look the other way when states do it, youre right.

I mean, no, the UN security council doesn't have any power, they would have still gone through with the invasion.
