The biggest global issue is how the democracies of the world will deal with the Sino-Russo-Korean alliance which is preparing for confrontation in Europe and Asia
The fate of the western world lies, as I write, in the hands of American voters, as it has often done before. Or, to be more precise, in the few hands of hitherto undecided voters in Pennsylvania and one or two other swing states in the US.
That Sino-Russo-Korean axis is a very real threat. While Putin was unleashing his assassins in western Europe, Trump was fawning over him in Helsinki. Now we have evidence that Russian intelligence is orchestrating arson and bomb attacks aimed at damaging and destroying European air transport and goods logistical infrastructure. We see Russians pouring out many millions of cash in an effort to wipe out Moldovan democracy by bribery and corruption.
Another big part of the blame attaches to the Democratic National Committee. It was obvious, as I wrote here three years ago, that the Biden-Harris ticket was very vulnerable to a Trump resurgence, and needed to be replaced with new blood, new charisma and energy. But they stuck with Biden as his health and cognitive decline accelerated.
