Back home, what’s cooking in the kitchen remains the same.
Entertainment soapie. Maak nie saak wie kandidate of president is nie. Die behind the scenes-trein loop soos hy loop. Demokrate en Republikeine is ewe entoesiasties oor oorlog in Midde-Ooste. Hoogstens is die wenkandidaat ’n barometer van die nasie se kollektiewe psige – met watter argetipe die meerderheid op ’n bepaalde tyd assosieer. ’n Binêre tweepartystelsel is per definisie nie demokraties nie. En die skape follow suit, kyk TV, volg speaches en doen mee in die moddergooi op die kleinskermpies. Keep them entertained.
Kamala of wie ookal prezzie word, bepaal nie die VSA se buitelandse beleid nie. Die prezzie word maar net die salesperson wat dit moet verkoop en toepas. G’n wonder Biden verloor kop nie. Hoe slaap mens as jy weet jy teken af op bomme wat derduisende onskuldige kinders vermink. Elke dag. Elke uur?
The Guardian se analise:
“Broadly, foreign policy experts said they thought Harris would maintain similar policies to Biden on Israel, while speaking out more vocally on the plight of Palestinians from the war or against Israeli settlements.
“She’ll be under the same constraints that Biden was under, both the political, and constraints we don’t leverage our allies. We don’t pressure our allies,” said Aaron David Miller, a senior fellow focusing on US foreign policy at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
“It’ll be a sharper tone rhetorically. There’ll be more sympathy and empathy for Palestinian rights. There may be a tougher policy on settlements, but a tougher rhetorical approach. It’ll follow the Obama model, which was tough on the rhetoric, not so much on the deeds.”
