(20,056 posts)He may, or may not, realize he's playing into Putin's plans. He's not as bright as people want to think he is, he's purely ego driven, which Putin knows and banked on.
Meanwhile: Today the Saudi's and Russia made a new alliance in their oil ventures. Stay tuned! This drama hasn't even begun to play itself out yet.

(18,402 posts)are really the inverse of what he's doing:
Make America great again? He's decimating our standing in the world and putting our economic (and moral and scientific) future at risk. He's making America into a Third World nation.
America first? He's turning us into LOSERS. Now, France and Germany will become leaders of the free world. We will be irrelevant. And all the other countries will become the beneficiaries of the new energy technologies, while we will fail to benefit economically. America will be last.
It's the end of American leadership in the world, and the end of America as we know it.

We were the country who elected Barack Obama and the world loved us in 2008. Maybe we can redeem ourselves in the next election too. If we f that up, our reputation will be forever stained.

I guess we are going to watch him continue to dismantle America.
