I'm pretty sure Putin realizes that Trump's days are numbered, and he's trying to f*ck up as much as he can for the West while there's still time.

His whole demeanor has the bearing of a cornered animal who plans to take everything down with him.

(12,712 posts)I am not an alarmist, but I think it is obvious that he should be out tomorrow.
I am not able to see any turnarounds or reduction in his malevolent behavior. My concern is that he will continue to ratchet it up, squeeze harder and do severe damage.
Can we make it that long?

(3,020 posts)While Grant Strern gets the immediate benefit correctly, the "while there's still time" comment seems based on a conventional American/WWII/Cold War understanding of his behavior and goals. It's not like that.
It doesn't depend upon Trump, and Putin won't stop when he's gone. His gains will be leveraged, his losses ignored.
