My theory is that we will leave Nato because he won’t want war when Putin pushes into Europe. His base doesn’t care frankly. The direct cost is too high and they can’t see past grocery prices.

That will all depend on how worn down the Russian military actually is and how long it needs to rebuild. And at any rate the threat of Russian military action will be used to punish any European country that doesn’t accept Russian influence. It will be used on former Soviet republics.

The only thing that may stop Trump and saving Europe is his ego now that he has effective immunity from prosecution as Putin is no longer a threat to him.

We will see who the bigger narcissist actually is. Putin is probably smarter though.

We need some seriously smart republicans.

Countries with right wing Russian aligned puppets may prevent direct conflict by appeasement but nevertheless they will be under Putin’s control.

China will continue being China. Where semiconductors fall will be interesting as will access to battery tech.

Trump will print money to appease his base and we will see exactly how economic forces evolve beyond control.

Buying crypto now seems like a good idea.
