I'm a 2.
I don't like Russia but I can see why they feel angry at US/NATO actions (SoS promising Gorbachev NATO wouldn't move further east than the border of former East Germany, US backing a coup of Ukrainian president in 2014 who was cooperative with Russia for the most part, US arming Ukraine in the years leading up to the Russian invasion). I think we should withdraw from the conflict completely and let it play out. If Russia attacks an actual NATO ally who actually abides by the terms of the alliance then we should get involved.
I don't think we should be involved in the Middle East at all, and we've brought a lot of trouble and hate and terrorism on ourselves by our actions in that region. Deposing regimes in Iraq, Libya, Syria, and arming the Afghan Mujahideen just made people in that region hate the US and wasted taxpayer money, and the latter likely armed al Qaeda.
Both parties in the US clearly serve the same masters. Even non-noticers can admit that corporate lobbyists control politicians and benefit from the theater that the 2 party system provides for voters. Noticers can follow the money and see that it's primarily "Jews" who benefit from this. Regardless, while noticers and non-noticers may disagree on who is pulling the strings, they can at least see that our politicians are trying to pull a fast one and are succeeding because the majority of citizens still buy tickets to that theater.
Look at the vax debate currently as well. Most Trumpers are anti-vax, and anti-vax concerns have at least been legitimized in the last couple years. However what gets lost in all this is that Trump pushed the development of the vaccines and told people to get them. If you talk to the vast majority of his voters they either don't know this or are doing some sort of mental gymnastics to avoid thinking about it.
I picked a "right" issue/candidate because I am more conservative and I have conservative friends who exhibit this, but there is plenty of delusion and misdirection from both sides.
