When Trump was president he reached out to some of the countries you mentioned. It did no good with Rocket Man

He didn’t start a war which is a rare thing for an American president of recent years.

I’m not a Trump fan and certainly not a Biden fan and I wonder how with 400 million people in a county they are left with the current choice.

The choices here were Macron and Le Penn twice which isn’t really a good choice.

In Britain you chose Boris Johnson and haven’t elected the last 2.

Do you think that internal unrest and riots will start before any nuclear war starts? I think there’s more chance of that.
The electorate having an impossible choice seems to be the theme these days. I gave a lot of thought to making the (pointless) gesture of spoliing my paper in 2019 as I thought that both Johnson and Corbyn would be a disaster and I was proved at least part right (although I would have prefered not to have been given that I live in the UK).

I don't see a risk of widespread civil unrest in the UK. We will politely chuck a statue into a harbour, but that's about the extent of it.
