that I can imagine them stepping on their dicks so hard diplomatically that they set things in motion that they don't know how to stop. Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense, Tulski Gabbard as DNI? What could possibly go wrong? Or one of his new loyal generals to set things off like in Dr. Strangelove.

He would not start WW III.

Hell, if Russia threatened him enough, he would give them Alaska.

Cause they all think like bullies.

I will say this, POOTY wants us destroyed. I'm thinking there is a plan to weaken us then try a take over. Hell they own half the house and half the senate.

He will divide everyone and everything that he comes into contact with. It's his natural inclination.

what to do with the military.

But not sure how it will start. China vs Phillipines/Vietnam Nam, or Taiwan? Russia and Poland? Lots of flash points.

Ask for. He was tougher on NATO than Putin. It feels unlikely he will start a war. Indeed, he is more likely to lose parts of Eastern Europe and Taiwan without a shot fired. He's a wimp.

with that "Melania's nude pictures" issue? Is it adversarial, or not? Because, if it's something tRump doesn't like, he might issue a threat. Of course, both these boys are looney tunes, neither will back down, and we could have a problem. It seems to me that the blush is off the rose.

And, what about that ludicrous Russian, "Now, you have to do what we say," bit, because "you owe us." ??? Why would the Russian press say that?

Two things we all know for sure: 1) Everything tRump touches dies, and 2) He throws everyone under the bus when he is done with them. So, where stands Russia? tRump likes China (business interests) and North Korea (in love with Lil Kim.)

Why, why, why did so many people vote against their self interests? And, he isn't hiring anyone at all that could deal on the fly with a threat of war.

If Ukraine falls Putin will push against NATO countries. They may be without
U.S. help if republicans remove us from NATO. Then Putin uses a nuc to demand
an unconditional surrender, NATO countries refuse, nuclear exchange, end of
civilization. The ionizing radiation will kill all living things within months worldwide.

Would only take minor escalations to get there.

then argue that it would be too risky for our country to change presidents at such a time. He'll invoke FDR, and ignore the 22nd amendment.
