     ...destroy the last remaining ng superpower from within.

     It will not take the 4 years of rRump's 2nd, but maybe not last, term for him to destroy any appearance if reliability and trustworthiness as a foreign ally.
     His arcane mercantilistic economics policies will leave millions of US residents and those of other countries a lot poorer and the probable coming of a police state at the grace of, alad, not #DobaldDuck but #DonaldTrump...

     @HistoPol no, also i should be clearer, I don't think (or maybe hope?) that it'll be a war-war... more like an economic war, complete with crashes etc... which will change the poles of power.

     I had thought so, too, until the end of last week or so. I had not counted on tRump showing his true colors within the first 10 days or so of his 2nd presidency.

     We're already on the brink of a global #GlobalTradeWar.

     As the, presently, two current #SuperPowers repartition the globe, there is, in contrast to #ColdWarI, no objective need for a global hot war.

     Yes.

     And I'm afraid now that the US's nuclear umbrella over Europe has become unstable, if not retracted, that Putler will select a target that will cow the European remainder of NATO.
     It will not be a French or a UK town, it could be in the Kursk region. However, being an avid student of history, he will, I reckon, avoid striking former SU territory.
     On the other hand, Kursk is in Russia and would not mean striking a foreign country while still annihilating enemy forces...

     The next one, though not with much military force, should be Moldova, IMO.
