| Just when the West has never been in greater need of American leadership... that sound you can hear from Moscow and Beijing is the clinking of glasses as the U.S. tears itself apart in the most bitter election in memory |

| [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] The 2024 race to be President of the United States has just caught fire. Thursday's conviction of Donald Trump on 34 criminal counts in a hush-money trial held in a Manhattan court has only further divided an already deeply polarised country. President Biden and Trump have long had a visceral loathing of each other. The guilty verdicts will only exacerbate their mutual hate. This will be the most bitterly fought presidential contest in modern American history. But it is more than an American story. It has serious implications for the rest of the world too, especially the remaining embattled democracies, most of whom — including Britain — still depend on the U.S. for their ultimate security. |

| #2 That noise you can hear emanating from the Kremlin in Moscow and the West Wing of the Zhongnanhai in Beijing is the sound of laughter and the clinking of glasses. Let's extrapolate a bit. If Biden wins, the US continues to decrepitize. If Trump wins, that trend is (hopefully) reversed. Given the current window of opportunity for our enemies, what do you think will be on their options list when and if Trump overcomes the Dominion handicap? I'm afraid they'll see it as a now-or-never, go-for-broke scenario. |

| #1 I'm sure the neighbors were happy when Julie and the boys were having their own family feud too. However, what followed wasn't the best of times for anyone in the neighborhood. |
