Worst Case Scenario: Does President Ben Carson send us to war with Russia?

If the absolute worst case scenario unfolds, where half the GOP are literally sleeper agents, rightwing media is owned and operated by Russia, Trump's pee tape drops, vote counts were tampered with, and everybody on the cabinet except Carson is found to have colluded in some way or another: what is our response. No lives were lost (save the people killed by Trump supporters), but our country would be in it's most perilous point since the civil war. How do we just respond with sanctions? Enough of Europe is scared of Russia to eagerly ally up for WWIII. As is Assad and Turkey. But the threat of Putin going bananas and detonating nukes from his Hitler-esque final days bunker is too real. Maybe a CIA assassination op on Putin?
