What catastrophic event could putin and trump cook up now against us?

Putin did this in russia to gain power, and we know trump is also good at creating things for distractions, so could they cause a major event to use to blame Iran or China with soon , before the upcoming election? These two are up to no good , and capable of anything for themselves to use against us.

Putin could start poisoning trumps family as punishment. I wouldn’t put it past the Russian leader to do that.

To intentionally change the headlines , and after this latest damming revelations occupying and claiming the majority of the the networks time , I suspect he'll continue doing this, but this time he'll need something much bigger.

Where, no matter what stunt Trump pulls out of his ass between now and the election, it would be met with enthusiasm by supporters and fury by the opposition. It could only sway the absolute smallest audience of people who were on the fence about him. You would have to be living under a rock not to have caught on to Trump’s motives by now. Nuclear winter or the US Dollar being worth nothing could only break up the log jam.
