Bernie Sanders Has Not Closed The Door To A 2024 Presidential Run

Last month Bernie Sanders indicated reportedly in a memo that he may run if current US President Joe Biden decides not to run. Presidents are important. Arguably, there would have been no war in Iraq had Al Gore who won the popular vote had beaten George Bush in the electoral college.

Notably Bush suggested he could trust Putin.

President Barack Obama while President drew a line in the sand in Syria and then Russia apparently aided and abetted the Syrians in committing chemical weapon strikes and targeting civilians constituting purported war crimes in Syria. Why draw a line and not follow through? Perhaps Putin and Israel’s Netanyahu played a part?

President Putin of Russia apparently calculated CORRECTLY in 2014 he could take the land in Crimea and much land in two Eastern Provinces in Ukraine with little initial effort. In 2022 he may have seen many world economies weakened from Covid along with an ostensibly weaken and rule by consensus President Biden (who is currently the President likely due to people like Bloomberg orchestrating to harm the candidacy of Bernie Sanders with unfound statements and the Democrats not wanting Sanders to win the nomination) in the US as opportunities to annex more of Ukraine. He correctly surmised that significant aid packages would take much time in the US to get a consensus. Had either Bernie Sanders or Donald Trump been President President Putin likely would have chose not to gamble. And perhaps a Sanders Presidency would have brought Universal Healthcare to the United States like Israel has had since the 1990’s who in turn has not condemned the Ukraine Invasion by Russia and has received many many billions of aid for many years from the US.

Putin gambled. Many people throughout the world suffer. The US is taking a strong stance against Russia along with many allies a bit late but probably not too late except for the causalties. Most of the democratically elected world leaders such as India’s and Israel’s have not condemned the aggressive Russian Invasion of Ukraine.

Deaths. Refugees. Economic calamity throughout the world. And many in the US pay high prices for drugs, go without healthcare, or take care of their healthcare needs at most intermittently. Unlike many allies who have Universal Healthcare.

Perhaps a Sanders Presidency would have brought Universal Healthcare to the United States. Then all Americans would have what other notable industrialized countries have had for many years whether or not supported by billions yearly by the US.

A major focus should be about health. And healthcare. For All — at least those people in the US. If I understand Bernie Sanders correctly. While his time has come, at age 80, opponents could have another reason to impede his ascent if President Biden for some reason is not a candidate in 2024.

But this time there is more. A so called existential war amid climate change. Serious stuff.

Nevermore?
