1. If reports we hear are true that Putin is nearly done

and had a "perfect" phone call with Orange Pinocchio, one has to wonder what's the score.

I'll throw it open for now cuz of chores and small keyboard versus fat fingers.

Putin is too far gone to be bailed out. Even trashing NATO won't help him, except maybe to escape. But where? A deal for some kind of safe passage?

Sell Trump those "special" videos for a trillion of our tax dollars? The videos? Russia seems toast, even discounting some of the hyperbole here. Just must be escape money.

And I leave it at that.

For now.

Do the nukes play into this?

Nuke Ukraine "accidentally" for Lord Putin? Nuke Iran, for jollies?

That ingredient could be Trump's hemlock. There is zero call for nukes. Only dastardly uses.

And a Petrov moment? EVERYONE is crazier than FatMan. (Sic) You know what I mean.

And all other nations must be on double-secret red alert.
