Alessandro Di Battista discusses the potentially world-altering consequences of the upcoming U.S. presidential elections. He criticizes U.S. and Israeli policies, highlights Trump’s lesser inclination towards warfare compared to his Democratic counterparts, and explores the geopolitical impacts on Ukraine and Gaza. Di Battista underscores the manipulative actions of the U.S. Military-Industrial Complex and the political dynamics leading to Biden’s withdrawal. He emphasizes the historical pattern of U.S. deception in wars and warns of a possible direct conflict with Russia, with Trump being a contrasting figure to the pro-escalation stance of other leaders.

di Alessandro Di Battista
There are three months left until the presidential elections in the United States of America, and considering what has happened in recent weeks, it is likely that anything could still happen. We are facing three months that could change the world. I have never been a supporter of Trump; on the contrary, I publicly criticized him when he decided to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem (East Jerusalem is a Palestinian territory occupied by Israeli colonialist forces) and when he ordered the assassination of Qasem Soleimani, head of the Quds Force, the elite unit of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. In 2020, Soleimani, one of the main figures in the fight against the Islamic State, was killed, on Trump’s orders, by a U.S. drone that hit the car he was traveling in, not far from Baghdad airport.
Trump Challenges Harris, Biden Withdraws, and the World Trembles
Only two countries can order targeted killings of politicians or military leaders with total impunity: the United States and Israel. That said, I have argued for years that Trump is infinitely less warlike (thus more disliked by the U.S. Military-Industrial Complex) than Democratic leaders, particularly those of the neocon current. Barack Obama, under the pretext of protecting human rights, ordered the bombing of Libya 526 days after receiving the Nobel Peace Prize. This is the truth. Trump is less warlike than Obama, Clinton, Biden, and Kamala Harris.
Kiev and Gaza
The U.S. Military-Industrial and Financial Complex is terrified at the possibility of Trump winning. Trump – just like Biden – if he were to return as President, would likely not obstruct the ethnic cleansing that Israel is carrying out in Gaza. The Palestinian people, unfortunately, cannot count on anyone, except for activists and courageous journalists, their extraordinary resilience, and a God who seems to have abandoned the Holy Land. They cannot rely on Europe, increasingly a subsidiary of NATO, nor on U.S. administrations, fundamentally supporters of Zionist nationalism, nor on Arab countries, hypocritical, mute, and cowardly like never before in history. Returning to Trump, I believe his re-election could represent a turning point regarding the conflict in Ukraine, a conflict that NATO and the EU are trying to inflame even more.
The United States Has Provided Arms to Ukraine in the War Against Russia
It is enough to consider that the first act of the new European Parliament was the approval of a resolution that states the irreversibility of Ukraine’s entry into NATO, calls for new sanctions against Russia and Belarus, supports the need to increase arms shipments to Kiev, condemns Viktor Orbán’s diplomatic initiative (guilty of meeting Putin after Zelensky and talking about negotiations), and suggests all countries remove restrictions on the use of Western weapons on military targets in Russia. Clearly, it is a pro-escalation resolution.
Trump President Again?
Trump, at least in words, seems light-years away from the political lines supported by the majority of the European Parliament, Ursula von der Leyen, just re-elected President of the European Commission, and Biden, who stepped down a few days ago. I argue that the so-called American “Deep State” and the Military-Industrial Complex are pushing for military escalation in Ukraine. Trump is not. And this is a problem, even more so considering the increase in support for Trump from the attack to today. In this sense, I believe the Military-Industrial Complex will do everything to hinder Trump’s victory.
Biden’s Resignation Shocked the World
It is evident that the drop in donations to Biden’s electoral committee was part of the strategy implemented by financiers and members of the Democratic Party so that Biden – a candidate without any hope of victory – would withdraw. I do not dare to say or think that the attack on Trump was organized by more influential men than the young man who shot. I have no evidence to support such a theory.
I will simply say that even if it were so, we would never know. And it is American history that pushes us to think so, not crude conspiracism. Four U.S. Presidents were assassinated while in office: Abraham Lincoln, James Garfield, William McKinley, and John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Four Presidents assassinated, not few. That the assassination of JFK has not yet been clarified is beyond doubt. It is evident that not just one person shot and equally evident that Kennedy was the victim of a conspiracy.
Just think of the killing of Lee Harvey Oswald, considered the sole responsible for JFK’s assassination, in Dallas, by Jack Ruby, a Chicago mobster who claimed he shot Oswald to avenge the President’s death but whom many believe did it to silence Oswald forever. Anyway, it is undeniable that American history is murky and characterized by countless lies.
The United States Is Used to War
It is enough to analyze how U.S. authorities managed to justify U.S. involvement in the two worst massacres since World War II: the Vietnam War and the 2003 invasion of Iraq. In 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson obtained Congress’s green light to attack North Vietnam on a large scale after the Gulf of Tonkin incident, i.e., according to the U.S. version, the attack of Vietnamese torpedo boats on U.S. warships. Well, that incident turned out to be fake news. That day there was no Vietnamese attack.
Americans Have Always Fueled Conflicts in the World
The United States was looking for a casus belli to justify another war in the eyes of its public opinion after Korea and got it by lying. The Vietnam War, a war the U.S. lost, caused the death of almost 2 million civilians and 58,272 U.S. soldiers. The Iraq war also started because of a lie. Iraq did not have weapons of mass destruction on the eve of the U.S. invasion. Colin Powell, then Secretary of State, lied when he showed a vial to the UN Security Council, passing it off as proof of chemical weapons in Saddam Hussein’s hands. That lie cost the lives of 600,000 Iraqis, both direct and indirect deaths. Therefore, considering all this, it is legitimate to doubt the truthfulness of U.S. versions, especially when war is involved.
And today war is involved, indeed, War, a possible direct conflict with Russia. It’s not me saying this; it was said a few days ago by Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić. “The West would like to wage a war at a distance, through someone else, investing money and so on, but at the moment it is not ready for a direct conflict with Russia. It is not ready now, but I think it will be. It is already preparing for a conflict with the Russian Federation and is doing so much faster than some people would like to see, in every sense. We know how the military preparations are going. And I want to tell you that they are preparing for a military conflict.” His words.
Trump, apparently, is against this scenario. Harris, a less powerful (and therefore even more influenceable) Hillary Clinton, on the contrary, fully embraces this hypothesis. The next presidential elections will not only serve to choose the new tenant of the White House. There is a war involved. Considering the way the U.S. Deep State has always moved, I think that those pushing for military escalation in Europe will not remain still in the next three months. Months that will decide the fate of the world.
