It appears to me that Putin is holding the cards and it will be determined solely by what is most profitable to him. I really don't know what will happen if Trump is removed from office. Would he go in hang-dog disgrace or would it be in keeping with his mentality that preceded the election in which he claimed that if he lost that it would be because the system was rigged and he would not concede. If that happened then indeed we might be facing a civil war. There is no doubt that we have plenty of ammunition and weapons to have a full blown shoot out. I have a difficult time thinking that the Republican leadership would allow that to happen without a concerted effort to stop rebellion. It is going to be an interesting time. There is little doubt that he is a singular disgrace even more so than Nixon.
