Putin Is Banking On a Trump Win for His New World Order. Donald Trump’s nickname in the Kremlin? The American Gorbachev. Officials believe his chaos will be the downfall of the US.

1. Those “officials” are stupid. Trump already was president. Nothing fatal happened.

2. The American Gorbachev is a serious diss in a Russian context. Russians see Gorbachev as the architect of the geopolitical disaster, a borderline traitor.

3. I think American Yeltsin is more fitting

4. The real story is how little they’ve gotten in return for all their investment into a world class propaganda system. NATO is as untied as ever, and Europe has already been ramping up arms production in preparation for Trump 2 pulling the US out.

5. Trump erodes institution and democratic values and generally create a toxic political environment but he is really not that powerful. Putin himself said American presidents are not very powerful and that “men with suits from the bureaucracy” control everything.

   Putin might be disappointed when all that aid keeps flowing. Aid might be scaled back but I’m not sure the orange man can move the needle all that much when everyone everywhere has basically fallen in rank behind Ukraine.

6. Sounds about right
