Putin has been schooling bammy in world politics and power with boring regularity. I believe Putin would see right through bammy’s play for an extended Presidency/dictatorship and or a petty attempt at starting trouble for President-elect Trump...and he would take bammy to school one last time. Putin would simply refuse to participate. He’d publicly proclaim that warfare, costing billions of dollars and thousands of lives was not justified based on thin or no evidence whatsoever....that this was obviously a mistake...etc. etc. He’d once again take the high road, and show bammy and crew to be the petulant amatures that they are.
But then, how do we know that Putin might actually like to see the malleable and cowardly Barak Hussein stay in power to continue the dismantling of the United States military?
