Happy to see Russia fail, but this is gonna be such a mess.

No good guys here, but at least Assad is secular-ish. No telling what the rebels, who are mostly (but not all) Islamist religious nutters, will unleash.

When Putin fails, Donald fails; when Donald fails, Putin fails.

Putin? I thought he already died of blood cancer two years ago.

Putin's empire is gonna see a re-emergence.

As soon as Trump regains the White House.

Russia will become the strongest nation in the world.

Let's pretend Harris won the election......

Now....ask yourself this....do we want Russian to disintegrate into pieces?

or "collapse" as it was said?

Is that perhaps a worse scenario for all of Europe and Asia and of course the US?

Russia wouldn't collapse.

Putin would have been replaced.

But, why bother with such "What if ... " scenarios when Trump won and will help Putin rebuild the USSR.

Re 8

Yeah.

I will believe that when I see it.

And I didn't even believe the Berlin Wall had come down until I was over there helping break it up. I still have my little piece of that wall.

Sounds like a trick question.

Here is my answer:

---- Russia ... and the Tank they rode in on.
