This is an issue that is implicit in the 2024 election choice.
That abortion rights are of great importance to many voters is clear.
I note the media keeps hyping this issue, keeping it at the front of people's minds.
OTOH, there is the issue of
which presidential candidate is more likely to get U.S. into World War III.
There really can be no doubt on that issue:
Based on her statements
https://youtu.be/071AJxJ9pHM ,
Kamala Harris is far more likely to get the U.S. into World War III
than Donald Trump.
The media pays far less attention to this issue than it does to abortion.
But which is more significant?
Again, I think the answer is clear.
As to her remarks in the video cited above,
Her assertion of what Putin's goals are,
beyond ensuring that Ukraine is not a military threat to Russia,
is challenged by many,
who aren't so eager to get the U.S. into conflict with Russia.
See, e.g., John Mearsheimer at

Harris is big on looking to the future.
Well, there is a policy that was stated in 1824 she might heed:
"[America] goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy.
She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all.
She is the champion and vindicator only of her own.
She will recommend the general cause by the countenance of her voice, and the benignant sympathy of her example.
She well knows that
by once enlisting under other banners than her own,
<B>were they even the banners of foreign Independence</b>,
she would involve herself beyond the power of extrication,
in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy, and ambition,
which assume the colors and usurp the standard of freedom."

"beyond the power of extrication"
Boy, ain't that the truth, of what the risk is of war with Russia.
My view:
Harris is a pawn of the warmongers in America.
In sharp contrast to what Harris said about Ukraine,
here is what Trump said:

I fully agree with what Trump said about Ukraine.
“I think it’s in the U.S. best interest to get this war finished and just get it done. ...
Negotiate a deal.
Because we have to stop all of these human lives from being destroyed.”
I would have added
"And not bring on World War III."
When it comes to Ukraine,
Trump is head and shoulders above Harris.
Just read what Trump says in the Politico article.
To put it another way,
support for Ukraine is a high risk/low reward policy for the U.S.
The Politico article ends with this:
"And for all of Harris and Biden’s public support for Ukraine,
Trump is saying loudly something that at least some members of the current administration say softly:
that a negotiated end to the war may ultimately be in all sides’ interest."
Something the U.S. pointedly ignored, back in December 2021,
when the war could have been averted through a compromise,
as John Mearsheimer points out:

A number of people worrying about the threat of nuclear war with Russia appear on Judge Napolitano's YouTube channel.
Search YouTube for Judge Napolitano.
Meanwhile, that well-known expert on the risk of World War III, Taylor Swift, has made her preference known:

Does the threat of WWIII not concern her?
Or does it, and she can't see any difference between the two presidential candidates on that issue?
