  >> He will likely increase tensions on the world stage. > While Trumps opponent openly warns Russia of consequences. Lets be objective now. Yes, let's. Russia is not an ally. There are consequences to its aggression. Trump, on the other hand, has repeatedly said we should extract more money from our allies in east asia, and that we should threaten to withdraw from Japan and South Korea. These are scenarios China and Russia would love to see play out. Trump argues NATO is obsolete. He defends Russia's annexation of Crimea, and he thinks we should give up Aleppo to Russian-friendly Assad. He thinks he knows more than the generals. At the same time, he claims he never thought about this stuff during his time as a businessman. The alternative to nuclear war is the proxy wars you see playing out in the middle east. Any concessions are gobbled up by whichever side backs down.

    > its aggression I see NATO bases all around the planet. > The alternative to nuclear war is the proxy wars you see playing out in the middle east. True. We also know who started that with leaders not bowing to the western interests. While Assad isn't exactly prince charming, his country wasn't in ruins as it is now. Same stands for Gaddafi and Hussein.
