If Putin wins in Ukraine, the issues at home won't matter much, as the signal to China, Russia, Iran etc

is that the West is giving up, and they are free to advance into other smaller countries, one country at a time. What do you think will happen if China takes over Taiwan, where most semiconductors used by the world (and the US) are manufactured?

Putin will perform whatever interference he can to make Trump king of the US, so then they can all take immediate advantage of that foolish, ignorant, uneducated king.
