T and company are doing the very things people dismissed as "he can't do that" . He may (or may not) be following orders from Putin. Certainly he is emulating putin, un, orban and various others around the world who are alive today and whom he admires.
If this doesn't happen, great, it was just more bloviating from one of Ts sycophants. But if it does happen, what are you going to do?
It's kinda like hurricane season- areas prone to them don't get hit every year, but it's best to prepare as if one will come through every year.
