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.
