The effects will be more subtle. But serious nonetheless.
I seriously doubt Trump will order US missiles to be fired directly on Russia. If anything he'd more likely cave to Russia and allow them to annex eastern Ukraine.
On that we agree.
It's both/and. The buck stops with the President in terms of foreign relations. I am concerned that cognitive decline will impact his ability to competently serve as President. And I don't think his role in government is mere window dressing. He's not the King of England. He's the President. He...
If it weren't for NATO, Putin would happily do that and restore the old glory of the USSR. And if it weren't for NATO, I have no reassurance at all that a man like Trump would expend American military resources to fight Russia in a place like Poland.

They're both concerning for different reasons. It's not a good look for us as a country to have a man at the helm who is showing signs of dementia (imagine how he'll be in 4 years?). Trump is terrible for all the reasons we've discussed around here ad nauseum. The trouble is, no one is really...
I hate Trump as much as the next guy, but...no. He didn't slur in what I heard, and his not talking was obviously because they were loudly playing music overhead for some dramatic pause.
Trump is deranged, but in his usual neo-fascist way he's had for years. Biden's cognitive decline is a...
The condescension here is practically dripping. What's contradictory is saying that you just chose that word because you "felt like it" in order to avoid the obvious logical conclusion one would need to reach if you actually believe that killing of a bird, or a bacteria, is equivalent to murder...
