    Putin doesn’t want a world war, he is more interested in having the west just roll over and letting him retake the former countries of the Soviet Union

      Of course, but that pretty much can only result in a world war

      Do you really think he stops once the former Soviet countries are under his control?

      If Trump gets elected, the modern world of relative peace ends and we’re thrown into chaos and suffering with possibly no easy way back to stability.

        Oh I agree with you, I just don’t think that a world war is what Putin wants.

          Like all fascists, he innately assumes the other side won’t fight back. Like an idiot child daydreaming about a fist fight.
