    According to an anonymous European diplomat, if Democratic candidate Kamala Harris wins the US presidential election, it can be assumed that Joe Biden will start working on an invitation to Ukraine during the transition period.

    The implication though… what if she doesn’t?

    I guess they can’t invite Ukraine in the transition period if Trump would shoot it down? But why can’t they just rush the ratification?

      because it surely won’t accept it before Donald Trump gets sworn in

      anyone against it can simply delay and “raise concerns” for a few months

      it’s possible that if they rushed it through now, it’d give trump ammo for leaving nato entirely

      the amount of time that the uphill political battle for the ratification and it’s timing now, when it could have been done 3 years ago; is indicative of an empty promise done for optics, so rushing it now would defeat the purpose.

      if ukranians could vote it this election, this would be a campaign promise; forgotten about when once the election was over.

      i think that the most telling thing about the article is that the decision makers aren’t sure that kamala is going to win and also makes it clear that they expect her administration to be a reliable continuation of biden’s administration and that bodes very badly for the genocide.

      the gazans are going to end up like native american reservations with populations small enough to guarantee that they’ll never be able to resist the boot on their collective neck again while simultaneously using idf’s wanton destruction of real estate and the economy to maximize a newly imposed generational poverty; ensuring that future gazans can be controlled by governmental purse strings.
