Would these be wars which directly impact the US and its citizens?

It's a serious question. There is no mandate, moral or legal, which requires the US to be the World Police.

If various nations wish to wage war upon another, the aggressors in those conflicts bear the moral responsibility for their actions.

None if the ones I can think of off the top of my head would directly affect us.

Not sure why you'd be confused. Didn't you watch the debate? Biden's platform is orange man bad.

Hopefully Biden also got it Tuesday night. They both then pass early to mid next week. Then we just reset 2020 and start on over. Act like it never happened.

I’ll bet neither of them have COVID. They’re faking it so that Trump can say it’s not that bad.

Because the exchange went like this:

Biden: "The Green New Deal will pay for itself over the next number of years."
Wallace: "So you support the Green New Deal."
Biden: "No I don't support the Green New Deal. I support the plan I put forward, the Biden plan."

Today's news raises some interesting questions.

Posit: If the President were to die, what effect would this have on the electoral process?

The current President is also the Republican nominee for President. Would that nomination pass, along with the Presidency itself, to VP Pence? Or would the RNC have to re-do the nomination?

What would happen to all of the mail-in ballots which have already been cast?

Assuming that the RNC must formally nominate a new candidate, suppose they nominated a conservative African-American woman. What effect would this have on the #VoteBlueNoMatterWho crowd, whose sole balloting issue has been to remove the current President from office (which is now done), and have been loudly bemoaning the idea that they will never see a female President. Would they vote against a female person of color in November?

Along with any other african-american anyone else who deviates from the narrative, like Daniel Cameron, Kentucky's attorney general.

Democrats still worry themselves with African-Americans leaving the plantation. They just harvest votes instead of cotton.

Mainstream media 2020. Go into a story with a false hypothesis.
