Will we survive until January 3rd? (#3612)

     I had thought that we were out of the most dangerous times with trump after the election but it seems now trump is going off the deep end just before the new Congress is sworn in. What is worse is that still too many republicans are not concerned with his unpredictable behavior even if it means going to some kind of war that could end us all. What shouldn't surprise me is that republicans don't know how, or care to control trump enough to keep us out of danger because in the final analysis profit at all costs means exactly that, all costs. Now we are seeing the fever pitch of the diseased mind of republicans as they stay quiet and do little or nothing to stop the irrational trump. They have even given him some cover if that makes any sense at all.
     Now with the uncertainty of our national defense a real issue and the naive collaboration trump has with putin may signal to putin that his best chance of destroying America may be during these next 13 days. That putin knows the tide has turned against trump is certain and if America were ever to be as vulnerable as we now are he would be wise to put all his efforts into destabilizing us before we return to our greater advantages of intelligence and foresight. As we have seen also with fox "news" leading trump to his conclusions the next few days are critical. As well as shutting down our government that fox "news" has advocated, pushing trump into that dynamic further weakens our overall national defense.
     I will count us fortunate if we make it out of this small window of time without trump doing something that encourages putin to start an aggression we all will have to face or regret for the rest of our lives. Make no mistake here, putin is as dangerous a being that there is on this planet and would not hesitate to put America under his heel. That trump doesn't care is where we are vulnerable and without an oversight strong enough around him it makes that likelihood all the more possible. We will see if the forces of the republican party will draw their heads out of their asses long enough to see that the world is in a precarious place and they are the ones who put us here.
