Now that it is officially known which duos will face each other in the United States for the control of the White House in the next elections in November, it can be said that this country is already in the middle of the electoral race, a show with circus-like trimmings where we will see all kinds of accusations crossed.

One of the first was launched by the tycoon and former president Donald Trump when he said that the Democratic Party intends to install a communist government in the northern power, a phrase aimed at an American public normally with very little political culture.

Everyone knows that in this country both parties belong to the same system and their differences are only of nuances, because in reality they obey well-defined global interests. In other words, those who set the strategic course are not those in the White House.

To take one example, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump have different positions on the gun trade in the United States. The former wants to impose more restrictions on the sale of these devices, while the latter prefers a completely liberalized market, or one with as few regulations as possible.

But both agree that the U.S. should remain the world's largest military power and the main supplier to customers in conflict zones such as Ukraine and Israel.

All shipments to these areas come at a price and generate fabulous profits for the U.S. military-industrial complex. Anyone who thinks that the planes, bombs, guns and other artifacts that arrive in Kiev and Tel Aviv are free or a donation would be brutally naive, according to an analysis by Daniel Kersffeld published in the Argentinean daily Página 12, in which he points out that under the Biden-Harris administration, military transfers have been a priority and the main economic lever of this nation.

In the fiscal year 2023, he adds, a total of 80.9 billion dollars in arms and defense services were sent abroad, and in 2024 the figure will be higher due to deliveries to Israel, Ukraine, Poland, the Czech Republic, Norway, Bulgaria and Saudi Arabia.

One thing is the internal market, where differences are accepted, and another is military exports, which feed national finances and where both parties follow very precise instructions; there will be more on these issues in the coming months, my friends, in that spectacle they call democracy in the north.
