Philip C James<p>Putin, like Trump, could adopt the figleaf of seizure predicated on 'national security interests,' allowing Russian SSBNs safer passage into the Atlantic (compromising NATO's stranglehold on the GIUK gap).</p><p>And Putin could take a leaf out of Khrushchev's play-book and, Cuba-style, install IRBMs on the Faroe Islands, threatening all of Western Europe.

Philip C James<p>Morning, all</p><p>Looking on the bright side... Hitler came to power through the democratic process but a full six years elapsed before he precipitated World War Two, ultimately throwing his own country onto his own funeral pyre. So there is time for America to row back from the brink.</p><p>And Don The Con is 78 years old. So Donald Trump is unlikely to be in power four years from now - if the 25th is invoked, it will be J.D.Vance.
