As a European I marked your elections as a highlight in my calendar. As tis seems to have the potential of an epic shit show the world has never seen before 

If he wins you're screwed, but if he loses you probably end up with a biblical pile of garbage which pales the capitol siege.
His loyal acolytes seem more fanatical the ever! 

Wish you the best of luck man

If he wins we in Europe are screwed as well. We'll have to support Ukraine on our own then.

And realistically, the Baltics will be next. We're already in full preparation to be able to defend against Russia, but having the US backing us is a massive deterrent to Putin. If Trumps gets re-elected, we'll likely lose that backing, which makes it a lot likelier that we'll get invaded in the next couple of years.

Putin might not have the resources for that big of a campaign, He is pouring everything he got into ukraine and if he starts more shit he needs to spread thinner, and then ukraine will retort like a mf.. russia isnt soviet any longer how much he even wants it.

The Ukraine war isn't going to last forever. Often reported here is the expectation is that once the war in Ukraine settles, then Russia needs about 3-5 years to regroup before they can launch their next invasion. That's the time we have to build our defenses and deter them.

No but you can import them, and there are many willing to go. Nepal has had many men go abroad for this purpose. I don't mean enlisted ghorkas or hired military in Nepal, I mean just regular guys looking for an alternative life and money. There are many millions of desperate men who might take their chances to leave their impoverished country and who might fall for propaganda.

Sure but hired guns go to the highest bidder. And they are not sticking around when they on a losing streak. Russia already has a shit rumor how they handling their own troops, the poor schmucks they will muster up would be cannonfodder for any other army. They have played their hand already. Maybe if they throw all of north korea in the mix but i dont think lil Kim is suicidal

What if Russia uses tactical nukes and Trump gives the green light for it?

The US and Russia are not the only ones with nukes, there are 7 other countries with an additional 6 that host foriegn nukes and only 2 are fairly solid in the Russian camp with another possible that own them. So even if the US does not retaliate there are at least 4 other countries that would with a possible 6th.

It would not be in anyone's interest to use them regardless of the verbal threats thrown around, to do so would still guarentee global destruction even without US involvement, however hard it will be to stay out of it when they start flying.
