I mean I guess I'd rather Trump didn't win, but I can't do anything about it. So no, I have no horse in the race.

so long as american bombs, american soldiers, or american money touch your country; you too will be impacted by this race.

the only way to plausibly ignore it is to be russian, chinese or western european; everyone else is the world is kowtowed to american hegemony, willing or not.
