I had to take a break for family reasons so I have only been following general news for couple of months. Also, I felt relieved after Le Pen and Hoffer both lost so my faith in the future of western liberal democracies has been renewed.
It was a very therapeutic break but I am semi-back now because things are developing in (unfortunately) predictable fashion as I had previously summarized.

I can smell danger in the air with the way things are developing. One important aspect to always keep in mind that trump will stop at nothing to try to become authoritarian. These people never give up power regardless of any testimonies, courts, etc. He is there to fulfill Bannon's mission which happens to coincide with Putin's goal: destroy US government. These 'people' are not interested in the economy. This is not about it. Beleive it when Trump's ex-wife said that he keeps mein kampf book under the bed. He has been driven by this maniac idea secretly most of his life. He dreams of being like Putin, his role model. And he could never get over black president. Leaving NATO, UN, international trade agreements, all key elements of the new alliance with authoritarian and nationalistic regimes.

Don't count on republicans, RNC and likely other republican communication channels have also been hacked so Putin has lots of compromising material. This is especially the case with house republicans. One word and those emails will be released by wikileaks.

Why urgent? Trump and Putin are swiftly provoking a large scale military conflict in the middle east. I don't need to tell you that muslim registry is still coming, etc.
