N...yet. Despite some of the claims, we, Russians, don't participate in foreign elections.
That said, the existence of the state of Israel is entirely because of the US support. One could say, it's a US-orchestrated proxy war against the Arab league. The ongoing genocide is on you guys (yes, you too can throw bricks at me for the Ukraine war). But, on the other hand, without the US support, Israel is likely going to fail, and Arabs are definitely going to return the favor, causing even bigger genocide, and disdain from millions of Jews, most of which are in the US. It's a lose-lose situation. I don't see any reason why Trump, being the racist that he is, would drop the US's base of operations within middle east either.
So, vote Biden, I guess, he's a two faced fuck but at least he's not actively malicious or trying to turn the US into an authoritarian state (trust me, that'd suck).
I doubt there will be a genocide of the Jews when America finally loses the ability to support the settlers. Jews, Christians and Muslims didn't have an issue coexisting under ottoman rule. It was specifically British divide and conquer tactics and the creation of an artificial settler ethnostate which has caused this current situation.
I'm sure there will still be violence, but nothing like what we see now, with American intel and weapons used to place PGMs right in the middle of refugee camps.
Israel's modern inception was orchestrated primarily by Britain and the evidence for Russia's interference in foreign democracies is overwhelming. Furthermore, the idea of it being a proxy war strikes me as entirely unfounded.
Note: I'm not defending US support of Israel or the actions of Israel itself, just critiquing the ancillary claims being made here.
I might have chosen the wrong wording here. I stand corrected, that one is indeed quite a stretch, though definitely a point I heard many times before as the US government is by far the most major contributor to what's been happening there.
Guess the joke didn't land well. What I'm conveying is that I'm just a regular dude laying my perspective as a foreigner, unlike state trolls who would've pretended to be US citizens to shill for someone. And my homecountry is a literal fascist state at this point, so... yes, that's what those tend to do.
It's almost a sunrise in here so I'm just rambling at this point. But the point is - you've got two turds to choose from and it's fucked either way, but it's one turd more than in authoritarian countries and those suck MUCH more. So, prefer ones that at least don't reduce that amount.
What the actual fuck is wrong with you.
