The Democrats have already promised to increase US support for Ukraine, and if they win the elections, they may fulfill that promise and fan the flames of the conflict.As for the US-Iran war, a Democratic victory in the midterms is unlikely to restrict further military operations against Iran.“I do think that the economic impact of the Iran war is impacting the outcome of the election itself. I do think people are more likely to vote for Democrats because of that,” says Kovalik.Alas, “the Democrats are not dovish and they don't support peace activists,” he adds.All in all, things are unlikely to improve after the midterms, “and who knows, maybe they could get worse.”
