    Here’s a prediction for you:

    WHEN Trump crosses the tippingpoint, & axes rule-of-law for total dictatorship, annexing at-least Alberta, if not all of Canada ( probably TAKING Alberta, & annexing the rest of Canada ), using Greenland to snuff Canada’s EU-lifeline,

    AND denaturalizes all US-citizens who won’t vow allegiance to him, then they get ICE’d ( the denaturalization-law & ICE are 2 sides of the same “coin”: neither side without the other makes strategic total-dictatorship sense )

    AND launches war against Central & South America…

    Putin, wanting to do the same to the EU, now that the EU will have been totally-abandoned by the Americas … & economically helpless…

    China will make him an offer he can’t refuse:

    He turns a blind-eye to China’s supplanting Russia within Russia, & there’ll be economic-muscle for Putin’s rampaging on Europe, pretending-to-be-tzar, with all the lives he can scrounge, as long as he lives…

    Putin’ll do it.

    ( this will simply be “Mongol Yoke, Revised”, from the Russian-people’s perspective, this will be Russia becoming a complete-colony, or complete-puppet-nation, of China, from China’s perspective )

    By the mid 2030’s, there won’t be any pretence of Russia being Russian, anymore: the supplanting will be too complete for anyone to bother with the pretence, much.

    I expect Trump’s crossing the tippingpoint ( possibly using the Insurrection Act ) to happen after the middle of Feb, but don’t know when, other than “soon”.

    It can’t happen before mid-Feb, too much more setup has to happen, & … it certainly can’t be put-off until the opponent-force gets around to removing him through impeachment, or something, obviously.

    So, there’s a kind of pushing-from-both-sides process, & a simple it-breaks-this-way XOR it-breaks-that-way, which the 2 sides are playing “chicken” in, right now.

    I don’t believe that the opponents are Suddenly & Magically going to break the ever-accelerating-escalation: they’ve consistently done not-enough, & they’re going to continue doing that.

    So, soon, & there is a high-probability for the 2nd-half of Feb, in my eyes.

    Which means that the above prediction would also be for then, if that’s when it happens.

    Everybody, including me, hope I’m wrong, but … if it happens, then it was predictable.
