The Debate

I was reading The Guardian and there were some interesting points made by several commentators. The overall thinking is concern for another Trump presidency, but, the observation was made that while discussing Biden’s performance might be interesting discussion of a chronic gerontocracy in the USA, but, to avoid the discussion of Trump’s fact free answers is a mistake as well.

It was also stated the debate platform was grueling without an audience as well as the raising of President Biden’s strong and successful policies as a point to his governance.

Europe is worried though.

The communists aren’t saying much and certainly nothing friendly.

Israel is busy with the war. There are drones into northern Israel that are forcing Shabbat into bomb shelters. There is an overall feeling that Biden did not do himself any favors and Thomas Friedman’s article in The NY Times is featured asking the Democrats to rescue the race to a better nominee. There is also an editorial I believe that wants the IDF to pre-emptively strike Hezbollah. There is less trouble than more with Hezbollah in Lebanon at the moment. It would be best to dialogue with Nasrallah. He is the closest thing to a head of state for Hezbollah. I always got the feeling Nasrallah was hesitant about a conflict with the IDF. 

Today, internationally, Biden is not popular.
