is a non-vote for him also a vote for Harris?
The US sees China as the primary adversary, and I expect that Asia will be where US focus will increasingly shift.
This has been the case for almost two decades now, yet they are stuck in the Middle East and cannot leave. The US is religiously tied to Israel, and is at a stage where the entire decisionmaker class genuinely believe that what's good for Israel is good for the US.
Good for China, bad for the Middle East. But oh well, no one can choose their fate, we [Middle Easterners] certainly didn't choose to be cursed with Israel.
Turkiye tried joining the EU for decades. The Europeans would never accept them no matter how long it took or what Turkiye offered. Turks are too Muslim and too Asian for them; despite abolishing the caliphate, secularizing and adopting the Latin script.
Now though Turkiye can look southward and find prosperity without strings attached. None of the BRICS members share a culture or religion, a more diverse and global community where Turkiye can join as it is.
Turkiye is a regional power, it has a strong manufacturing base, and while a NATO member and dependent on the West they also have an advanced military industry and that was demonstrated during TAI TF Kaan maiden flight.

More than 100 pregnant women in medical distress who sought help from emergency rooms have been turned away or negligently treated since 2022.
The House of Saud has been in rule since 1727. The origin of their rule goes back to 1446. They reestablished their state twice after collapse. Once in 1824 and again in 1902, which eventually became Saudi Arabia in 1932.
You don’t reestablish twice without wide tribal support.
You spelled anti-Soviet warrior and recruiter wrong
An amateur next to Netanyahu. He is still a hundred dead journalists away from a standing ovation in the US Congress. Also calling the double agent and CIA recruiter a journalist is stretching the term.
Or as liberals would call them “Russian trolls and Chinese bots.”
If that were true they would have normalized with Israel years ago but they didn’t. Instead they chose to make peace with Iran last year to the public cries of Biden and Israeli leaders.
Saudi Arabia cannot legitimize Israel, but Israel can delegitimize Saudi Arabia.
If Saudi Arabia normalizes with Israel hundreds of millions -if not each and every Muslim of the 2 billion total- will see it as a confirmation and validation of the Hadith that praises Yemen and the Levant but curses Najd.
Link to Hadith plus explanation in Arabic: https://www.islamweb.org/ar/fatwa/134719/
Rough Google Translation:
O Allah, bless us in our Levant and in our Yemen. They said: And in our Najd. He said: O Allah, bless us in our Levant and in our Yemen. They said: And in our Najd. He said: There are earthquakes and tribulations, and from there the horn of Satan will rise.
I personally don't think the Politico story is true. The risk is too damn high for the House of Saud. They will lose all legitimacy domestically and internationally.
Such disdain and disregard to human life.
Israel is a plague on humanity
> In Michigan, home to the nation’s largest Arab American communities, 13.3 percent of Democratic primary voters selected “uncommitted.” In Wisconsin, where Biden won in 2020 by roughly 20,000 votes, more than double that number signaled the same status. And in Pennsylvania, where the margin is expected to be just as razor-thin, about 60,000 people, including Shepperd, wrote in some version of not-Biden. All three states carry outsize importance in determining November’s winner.
