Trump has fulfilled Putin's fantasy of a chaotic USA in open conflict with its NATO & G7 allies as well as with its own justice & political system. The united free world front needed against Putin is at risk of collapse.

2. May get worse.

Russia has helped Kim in the past to bypass some sanctions and possibly even with some nuke and/or missile technology. It's possible Putin has Kim's back even now, maybe promising some big rewards for Kim if he makes Drumpf look good so he'll get a big poll bump and get re-elected.

3. This is an analysis by one of the best minds on the planet. I'll listen to him

way before any other politico talking heads.

The russians have long been masters of the deep game of chess and understanding that a checkers jump is not the same as sacrificing a significant piece in order to gain an overwhelming superiority in 10-15 moves down the road. Putin knows how to play chess. The repugs and dump are in it for a quick fix (money, power, sex, whatever) - let's call it "Go Fish". Oh, and the Chinese and many Eastern people also don't play slap-jack.

I hate to say this, but perhaps a purge of idjits in the US by a furriner may not be all bad. I'm sure I'll go too - idjit and "nullius
in verba".
