John Bolton has wandered into a fever swamp, and is severely afflicted, unable to escape the wrath he brought down upon himself by working at cross purposes to Team Trump. It has not paid well.
A second Trump term, whether in 2021 or 2025, would never have been in the interests of Vladimir Putin. As the US had by 2020 become an energy EXPORTING country, the balance of international trade in petroleum and natural gas had shifted very much in favor of the US, and Russia would have seen sharply dropping revenues, as they scrambled to make up the difference in revenue from crude oil and natural gas by trying to compete with US liquified natural gas tankers moving to markets all over the world, and no net import of crude or refined petroleum products by the US.
The myth that Putin “wanted” Trump to have a second term is just that, a myth, and one that served no rational purpose. The elastic morality of the Joe Stolen/”Que mala” Harris regime, effectively enacted by the oligarchy, has made the series of policy decisions in conformity with the “Great Reset” an ideal opportunity for Vladimir Putin to exert vastly more international control than the rather shabby nation, of which he is essentially the Maximum Leader, would figure in an objective observation.
Yeah, I agree with that.
Both Putin and Xi are going to take advantage of the “Great Reset”. They may even decide to do their own version, but with nuclear weapons and invasions.
