He will push for more war spending, from any source possible. More recruiting.
If that doesn't work I think he'll even think about the nuclear option. With those smaller n bombs first.
He will take the world to the brink....and only stop when he is stopped by other oligarchs who see their fortunes at stake and the planet as well.

If some folks would 86 both Trump and Putin, the world would be so much better off
