I was trying to explain to someone that even if Trump doesn’t actually drag the U.S. into WWIII fighting alongside the Taliban and Russia, at best, he gets the U.S. to remain neutral and leave NATO, that means we lose our allies and any expectation of defense if we are attacked.
So even if Putin loses Ukraine and or never succeeds gaining ground in Europe, what’s to stop the democracy hating tag team of Russia and the Taliban from just attacking the U.S. and taking it for themselves? Or more likely, Russia getting the Taliban to attack and then taking advantage of the situation while making it look like an act of good will towards an ally, and offering the U.S. safety as a part of the Russian federation.
Putin has called it one of his favorite books, and in the novel, once Ukraine is conquered, he takes all of Europe and then eventually drops a bomb on the U.S., forcing them to surrender willingly bc they no longer have allies/NATO to defend them after the attack.
So, however we lose our allies, even if it’s just by leaving NATO, we end up in a very similar situation in the present reality. Trump and his administration have also done several things to willingly weaken our cybersecurity against Russia and leave our infrastructure incredibly vulnerable.
Say Putin for whatever reason decides to carry out the playbook against the U.S. from his favorite novel. We are heading towards a situation where we have no allies who will come to our aid, and we’ve willingly given Russia the ability to potentially attack our infrastructure like water and electricity grids for some reason. Imagine how easily they could take over after an attack on the U.S. or even a large natural disaster.

There’s actually a “fictional” novel that was written by a Putin loyalist and predicted details of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine way before the fact.
