The only difference between Harris and Trump is that the latter can't keep his gaping orange maw shut. Well maybe she would have put in a few more military bases instead of casinos.

Ukrainian officials fear an alignment between Washington and Moscow could shut them out of the discussion about their country’s future.

Ukrainian officials fear an election might put back the government that they usurped, with American funding and support, back in 2004/5.
