OFWONO OPONDO: Donald Trump, Joe Biden on 2024 ballot; it’s all Putin’s “handiwork”

The Political Landscape in Disarray

With Emmanuel Macron (France) and Rishi Sunak (UK) election tumbles, and the sad spectacle of Donald Trump and Joe Biden visibly showing senility at the presidential debate rematch, many in the wild west probably cannot help but blame Russian president Vladmir Putin for seeking to destroy the superpowers.

The Blame Game

Ninety minutes of debate between Biden and 81-year-old Trump showed a lack of coherent policies and clear vision for the future, leading many to question if the US still has what it takes to be a world leader. While the rise of populist leaders in Europe has raised concerns about the stability of democratic institutions.

It seems like Putin’s “handiwork” has taken hold of the Western world, causing chaos and confusion among its leaders.

Effect on Individuals

For individuals like you and me, the political turmoil in the West can have a direct impact on our lives. Uncertainty in leadership and wavering policies can lead to economic instability, job insecurity, and a general sense of unease about the future.

Effect on the World

On a global scale, the lack of strong leadership in the superpowers can have far-reaching consequences. It opens up opportunities for other world powers to exert their influence and push their own agendas, potentially leading to conflicts and power struggles.

Conclusion

As we navigate through these turbulent political times, it’s important to stay informed and engaged in the democratic process. By holding our leaders accountable and demanding transparency and accountability, we can help steer the course towards a more stable and prosperous future for all.
