Incidentally, Putin is most decidedly not out of his effing mind. That assumption is incredibly dangerous. He knows exactly what he's doing. The same has been said about Trump. But Trump, equally, is also not out of his mind. There's a very game chance that he will win the next election, and there's a very game chance that Putin will survive this horror and continue in power. The assumption that either of these men will not survive a setback is so incredibly complacent. The world is simply not spinning that way any more. In just over two years' time we could well have Trump in the White House and Putin in the Kremlin. Be very afraid.
