Well, according to one opinion poll this week, that man could be ten points ahead ofjoe biden in the opinion polls. Well, in one opinion poll. That could easily be an anomaly. Yet none of the western governments whose doings i monitor on a daily basis seems to have made the slightest preparation for the possibility that donald trump might very well be back in office in 16 months time.

The odds are still probably slightly against a trump victory, but it would create a massive upheaval, not least in russias war agai
