How do you feel about a country mobilizing such a large number of troops in response to a threat, and what implications do you think it has for peace in the region?

Israel in particular, it's dangerous because the ones being most harmed are the Palestinians in the middle of it all. Diplomacy should be the primary focus of the current position of the conflict and neither side is compromising.

What are your thoughts on the impact of conflicts like this on civilians living in the affected areas, and how should their safety and wellbeing be considered in military decisions?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…11mos11MO

Considering the potential for large-scale conflict, how important do you think it is for international communities to intervene in disputes like these?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…11mos11MO

If a group poses a threat to your country, do you believe responding with military force is always justified, or are there better ways to handle such conflicts?

Trump hits ‘nasty’ Michelle Obama at Atlanta rally

Former President Trump attacked former first lady Michelle Obama during his rally in Atlanta on Monday, calling her “nasty” after Obama lobbed attacks at the former president while stumping for Vice President Harris.“You know who’s nasty to me? Michelle Obama,” Trump told supporters in Atlanta.“I always tried to be so nice and respectful. Oh, she opened up a little bit of — a little bit of a box. She opened up a little bit of something. Oh, she was nasty. Shouldn’t be that way. That was a big mistake that she made,” he added.His remarks come after Obama criticized Trump during a Michigan rally on Saturday, at one point mentioning “Donald Trump’s gross incompetence.”“I hope that you’ll forgive me if I’m a little angry that we are indifferent to his erratic behavior, his obvious mental decline, his history as a convicted felon, a known slum lord, a predator found liable for sexual abuse, all of this while we pick apart Kamala’s answers from interviews that he doesn’t even have the courage to do, y’all,” she said in Kalamazoo, Mich.The heated rhetoric underscores the increasingly personal tone the presidential election has taken between the two campaigns roughly one week out from the election.An aggregate of national surveys compiled by The Hill/Decision Desk HQ shows Harris slightly ahead at close to 49 percent support while Trump is at 48 percent.
