If Joe Biden will become the Democratic Party’s nominee for the Presidency, then almost any Republican nominee would likely beat him because he had committed America’s Government to victory there — done it is such a way that there can be no going back on it that won’t strip him of the public’s respect for him on account of America’s loss in that war:
21 February 2023: “Ukraine will never be a victory for Russia. Never. (Applause.)”
13 July 2023: “We will not waver … for as long as it takes”.
24 August 2023 “Our commitment to Ukraine’s independence is unwavering and enduring.”
21 September 2023 “Mr. President [Zelensky], we’re — we’re with you, and we’re staying with you.”
If Kamala Harris will become the Democratic Party’s nominee for the Presidency, then she will never be able to disassociate herself from having been his #2.
On the other hand: If RFK Jr. will be the Democratic Party’s nominee for the Presidency, then he will surely win the Presidency (unless he becomes assassinated), because he had been saying, all along, that Biden’s refusal for Ukraine to negotiate with Russia was serving only to increase the bloodshed in that war — which has been proven to have been correct. He not only criticized what Biden was doing but said that Biden’s saying that if Russia wins the war, then America loses the war, and that if America wins the war, then Russia loses the war, casts that war as being of existential importance to both countries, which is blatantly false because Ukraine has nothing to do with America’s national security; it’s thousands of miles away and poses no threat to America; but it is only 300 miles away from The Kremlin and is therefore even closer to Russia’s central command than in the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, Cuba was to America’s central command in Washington DC. American missiles in Ukraine would pose an even bigger threat to Russia than Soviet missiles in Cuba would have posed to America. RFK Jr. strongly opposed Biden’s Ukraine policy, which was Obama’s Ukraine policy — the policy aimed at conquering Russia — but Trump never did anything to reverse the Obama-Biden Ukraine policy. And, so, if America loses the war in Ukraine, then RFK Jr. would trounce Trump, but Trump would trounce Biden.
If Trump becomes the Republican nominee, then he would easily beat Biden as the opposite Party’s nominee but would lose to Kennedy as that Party’s nominee, because Trump, while he still was in office, did nothing to reverse the horror that Obama had done to Ukraine by grabbing it in his 2014 Maidan U.S. coup and installing there a rabidly anti-Russian government which produced the war in Ukraine, which started soon after that coup.
Biden was carrying out Obama’s Ukraine-policy against Russia, but Trump did nothing to reverse it and to end the war there that Obama had started by grabbing Ukraine.
Therefore: if Russia wins the war in Ukraine, then virtually any Republican would beat Biden as the Democratic nominee, but RFK Jr. would beat any Republican nominee. RFK Jr. has none of the taint of the Obama-Biden Ukraine policy, but Obama and Biden couldn’t have carried out that policy if it didn’t have virtually unanimous support from congressional Republicans. Whereas RFK Jr. can free the Democratic Party of the taint of the Obama-Biden Ukraine policy, there is no Republican who can free the Republican Party from the taint of that policy.
If Russia wins in Ukraine, then only RFK Jr. could beat any Republican nominee.
However, if America wins in Ukraine (which Russia won’t allow, because that would pose a severe existential threat to Russia’s national security — it would mean the end of Russia as an independent sovereign nation), then Biden (or another neoconservative Democrat) will (tragically for the entire world) win in 2024.
Of course: if Ukraine’s war drags on for as long as Biden is hoping it will, then the likelihood is high that he will win the nomination; and, then, he would stand a reasonably strong chance of again winning the Presidency. This is the reason why I’m expecting Russia to win the war on its terms and within the next few months (this year) — not allow it to drag on until the 2024 voting starts in America.

Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s new book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.

It’s time for Russia to wrap this conflict up for their own benefit. As for America, it is headed down the drain under any conditions. America and China may well be headed for war.
We have turned America over to the neocon crazies. When you sow the wind, you reap the whirlwind.
I agree.
I think Russia is just waiting for the winter freeze to enable their military to blitz their armor columns into central Ukraine and complete the disintegration of the Ukraine military and gov’t.
Your premise is incorrect so your conclusion is incorrect. It seems you don’t have a firm grip on American Culture or Politics. First, Both Parties support the Proxy War against Russia in Ukraine. Trump is the outlier here but Trump is and will run as a “Republican” and will need the apparatus of that Party. So to think that the Ukraine War will be the deciding factor is fallacious. Second, there are many other More Worrisome problems for Americans than a War in a place they can’t find on the map. Illegal invasion, massive inflation, out of control crime, Immorality… Read more »
Trump as President did nothing except appoint even more right-wing, pro-megacorporate, judges. Other than that bad, he achieved nothing, and he was just as much of a whore to the ‘Defense’ moguls and to Israel as Biden has been, and even more than Obama (and his JCPOA — which Trump terminated) was.
In America it is the norm that you are dealing with the lesser of two evils. So if it was Trump against Hillary Clinton, I would support the Devil over Hillary Clinton. And no matter who is president, you have the Criminal Complex to deal with, as the Kennedy family knows well. So solving America’s problems is not only not simple, it may be quite impossible.
America is crashing. Lookout below!
Yes and I’ve come to the point of not supporting the lesser of two evils because the lesser of two evils is Still Evil and it has never worked out well for the American people.
Part of me supports Trump…but he has learned nothing from his Bolton, Pompeo days. He made a speech this week in which he made repeated reference to Iran being paid $6 billion ransom. He is intelligent enough to know it was Iran’s money which was being illegally held…he has a bee in his bonnet about Iran…and Syria…he knew the Assad poison gas stories were BS…but bombed them nonetheless.
Trump was bankrolled by the Casino Jew Mogal Sheldon Adelson, Trumps biggest donor. Jew Sheldon Adelson was a rabid Pro Israel, Anti American Zionist. And Trump allowed his Jew son in law, Jared Kushner control his Middle East Policy. Trump is almost a Jew controlled as Biden. Not much of a difference to speak of.

Yes, agreed. My past wasn’t about Trump’s Presidency.
Very slick analysis, Eric. Best thing you’ve written in ages. And of course, RFK Jr is potentially the best thing to have happened to the USA since WW2. The question is, will the American voter realise this?
No, the Question is will the American voter be fooled by another empty suit, RFK Jr..
the short answer is NONE.
