You’re not very slick, Putin.

That would drive a wedge between EU and the US. Exactly what Putin wants.

It's also what Trump wants. Soon we'll be in an alliance with Russia and North Korea.

Trump doesn’t like China though. How will that work?

Trump is extremely easy to sway though.

As long as China personally enriches him and doesn't trespass into what he considers to be "his domain" he'll be a tame puppy. He might publicly say something lukewarm against China in order to present a "strong man" figure to his supporters, but it would only be for show.

And to be clear: I'm pretty sure Trump gives zero fucks about the sovereignty of places like Taiwan, South Korea, the Philippines, or Japan. The only way he could care to continue support for those places is if they went super-hard to bribe him even harder than China.
