  1. Hey Alexander. I may not be totally in sync with my countrymen in the United States, but I don't think the war in Ukraine is going to carry that much weight in the U.S. election next year. I think there is still a predominance of sympathy for Ukraine, and what seems to be a built in animosity towards Russia (or more accurately towards Putin), but there aren't any American soldiers dying in the conflict or being exposed committing atrocities. I think this consensus spans both parties and so long as the conflict continues without a total Russian victory and Americans aren't obviously physically involved, the elections will ride on other issues. It'll still be talked about. Democrats will talk about how the current administration is helping Ukraine and Republicans will talk about incompetence in that support. Neither of these will be as strongly based on reality as on the message that is most useful for them during the election. What's going to decide it though are things like the walking back of decades of social progress by our courts, legal scandals, frustrations regarding the perceived slow pace of those legal scandals, and fear of what seems to be an ever more unpredictable economy.
