I legitimately can't tell who you think has their hands too full to start something: the West's old superpower opponent currently waging a hot war with their neighbour, or the guy trying to actively dismantle the United States of America from the inside
And somehow, between the two of them, it's Trump that I don't trust to simply let a plate fall, move on to (or back to) Greenland, and create more outrage to get the public and the media forget about the smashed plate.

When it wasn't Ukraine it was Georgia, Chechenia, Afganistan, whatever. He's always looking for a former USSR state to kill somewhere. This is why I was a bit surprised that the media considers the Ukraine thing a massive change of direction. It's not. The only thing that's different is that it's a country that the EU was interested in having join us now. It's terrible what he's doing in Ukraine but why didn't we consider it such an outrage when he did the same in Georgia and Chechenia? > And somehow, between the two of them, it's Trump that I don't trust to simply let a plate fall, move on to (or back to) Greenland, and create more outrage to get the public and the media forget about the smashed plate. Yeah with Trump I think he's just super unpredictable. No way to know what he's going to do tomorrow. At least with Putin it's pretty clear.
