We're likely entering a period of higher risk. Trump has emboldened the
despots like Putin, weakened NATO, divided us from our allies. He's
divided America so that most Americans do not support him. The clock
is ticking on the last two years of Trump's term, any bad actors that figure
they can get away with something have more reason to do it now, because
in two years Trump may no longer be president. It would not surprise me
if Putin did the calculation and swallowed up Ukraine.
