apparent to the world at large.

"What if" Xi decides that China has tolerated Taiwan's "insolence" long enough and simply retakes possession of it?

"What if" Putin decides that there will never be a better time to seize the Baltic states or to re-install missiles in Cuba?

Nationally and worldwide, but I have to think (if only for my own sanity) that he would be stopped short of making that mistake. It may take a sanctioned military “coup”, hopefully something not as strong as that but I really believe something would be done to prevent him from starting WWIII.

3. Putin must have said something shitty to him. It's not the Democrats kicking

the GOP's arse during the mid-terms, it's his besties. France treated him like the messed up baby that he is.

His effed up baby sitters along with his wife are using this as a cover up. I'm hoping that the Pentagon does have more sense and has given him a play briefcase.

Russia is considering putting military bases in Cuba, and Trump has abrogated the treaty that prevented them from frvrloping intermediate range ballistic missiles. Basically, it could be a prelude of the Cuban missile crisis again, only with someone in the WH who won't stand up for our country.
