On June 27, Biden and Trump held the first debate of the 2024 presidential election, and Trump's unilateral crushing of Biden still appeared, not only in the debate, but also in Trump's poll support, which made this election gradually become less suspenseful.
【Election Debate】
But for the American people, it will be difficult to fall asleep: the performance of these two candidates has actually turned into a worse one, and the future of the United States has never been bleaker.
A future that has lost hope
Biden's performance in the debate can no longer even be described as bad, he can't even show a normal person's thinking logic and information processing ability, which is the most important reason why he was crushed by Trump in the debate.

Trump also made a very apt assessment of this, saying that he did not know what Biden wanted to express in the 90-minute debate, and it is likely that Biden himself did not know.
It's not that Trump is sarcastically mocking Biden, but that Biden is indeed too old to govern normally.
Even a considerable number of politicians within the Democratic Party have publicly declared that they hope Biden will withdraw from the election as soon as possible, and his current state is indeed unable to be re-elected, and called on the Democratic Party to find other candidates to participate in the election as soon as possible.
Biden's response was that he knew he was old, but he still insisted that he could finish his next presidential term.

Of course, we have no way of knowing whether Biden wants to say this himself, or whether the team behind him sings a double reed through Biden's mouth.
Interestingly, Biden continued to attack a wave of Trump after the debate, saying that although he is old, he has done at least better than Trump on these two points, one is to tell the truth and the other is to distinguish between right and wrong.
To be honest, Biden's current state is really far-fetched to say this, and the problem Biden is facing now is that he can't understand what he says, let alone distinguish the difference between truth and lies.
The Biden campaign has said a thousand things and ten thousand, and the poll results have spoken for themselves, and Trump's approval rating is close to seventy percent, which is basically a crushing momentum.
【Trump】
If the election goes the way normal and legal, the probability of Trump returning to the White House is as high as 90%.
As for the possibility of Trump's comeback, the governments of the various allies of the United States can be said to be on the verge of a great enemy, because there is no doubt that once Trump takes office, his foreign policy will undergo a huge transformation.
First of all, although Trump's line to power seems a little whimsical, it is actually more pragmatic than the Biden administration in light of the current international situation.
【Trump】
For example, Trump made it clear that the United States should cut off military aid to Ukraine, not continue to drain itself and Europe with an impossible war, and that once Trump takes office, Ukraine could be abandoned in exchange for a détente between the United States and Russia.
At the same time, Trump will seek to squeeze Europe even more, recoup all the protection money that has been owed over the years, and concentrate on operating within the framework of his own allies.
The advantage of this approach is that the United States can directly get out of the great power game in the direction of Europe, focus on knocking European countries, especially Western European countries, and give Eastern Europe to Russia.
And then again, Russia had no plans to occupy the countries of Eastern Europe.
Russia's fight against the Russian-Ukrainian war is not seeking Eastern Europe
The United States directly withdrew from the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, in fact, it is to lose a Ukraine, and Ukraine will not become Russian territory yet.
Russia will definitely use Western Ukraine as a strategic buffer for itself and the Western world, which is actually a good result for both the United States and Russia.
The disadvantage is that the United States openly abandons Ukraine, which may cause the Western world to fall apart, and Europe is one of the basic plates of the United States, and if the United States abandons Europe, it may cause Europe to worry about the reliability of the so-called security commitments of the United States.
Europe is one of the basic markets of the United States
If Europe believes that the United States is unreliable, countries led by France that want Europe to become independent and self-reliant are likely to move closer to Russia and ensure Europe's geopolitical security through direct communication with Russia.
Once Russia and Europe join forces, the United States will have to return one acre and three points of land to the Americas.
What does Putin think about the election
In fact, not only the Americans are devastated, but Russian President Vladimir Putin also has his own attitude towards the 2024 US election. And this has been the attention of the media in various countries, first, because Russia is one of the main strategic opponents of the United States, and second, Trump is still carrying the scandal of collusion with Russia.
【Trump】
As a result, a Western reporter asked when the spokesman of the Kremlin held a press conference, is Putin happy because of the farce of the US election?
Putin's press secretary Dmitry Peskov replied that firstly, the US election debate is not within the scope of the Russian leadership's discussions, and secondly, Putin will not care too much about the outcome of this debate.
Finally, Peskov once again clarified the so-called Russian scandal to reporters, saying that Russia has not interfered in the presidential election in the United States.
Peskov replied a lot, and the core of the summary is not complicated, that is, the Russian government does not care about the results of the US presidential election at all.
【Peskov】
Russia's remarks are not aimed at damaging the prestige of the United States, but the current change of US administration really has little to do with Russia.
Whether Biden or Trump comes to power, Russia's anti-American position will not change, and this is Russia's role in the process of world counter-hegemony.
As long as Putin maintains that the Russian army is always in the initiative and advantageous situation in the war, the international situation will not affect Russia, and no matter whether the United States does not interrupt its military assistance to Ukraine, Russia will ensure that it will win the final victory, but it is only a matter of time.
【Putin】
Putin will not pin the fate of the country and the prospects for future development on the attitude of other countries toward Russia.
