Donald Trump reveals how he would have dealt with Russia

It is more likely that Donald Trump would have been kissing Vladimir Putin's  ███  ring and singing his praises.

If I was the POTUS, I would kill Putin with my super secret orbital laser.

Wow. Do you know how easy it is to say it?

In my fantasy world we would do onto him as he is doing to innocent Ukrainians. Surround the Kremlin, starve them, lob shells into the Kremlin gradually reducing it and everyone in it to rubble.

I guess that muscular demonstration of power is what Russians do expect from West side. This way he could says to the world: do you see? They are the usual American, arrogant and threating as usual. Definitely a service to Putin, which doesn't surprise me since he owes his election to the Kremlin. Trump does not represent America's best interests no more than Putin in my view.

Returning to the original post...

Putin would not likely have needed to disagree with Trump. It looked to me as if Trump could be steered in whichever direction Putin pleased. I expect Putin could've gotten Trump to endorse Russia's attacks against Ukraine.

But, if Putin clumsily alienated Trump then the world would've been in deep trouble. I think we would've had two nuclear powers angry at each other and their leaders indifferent to death and suffering by anyone...including their own citizens'.

It's easy for Trump to say what he'd do after the fact. But going by what John Bolton claims - and while I don't like or agree with Bolton, I respect him for his honesty - Trump had been planning to pull out of NATO in his second term, leaving the alliance without American might or leadership. The fact that Trump had made a total reversal of the GOP's policies in regard to Russia, and that Trump had been in contact with the Putin during his campaign against Clinton and saw Putin as his benefactor, I don't buy that he would have taken a hard stance against Russia.
