The world is sleepwalking into the real danger of a second Trump presidency

The Independent  

Not sure I’m going to stay up for the exit polls from the Russian elections, because – call it a hunch – I have a feeling Vladimir Putin is going to squeak home. What will the relationship be like if – and this is of course assuming I’m right – Putin is back in the Kremlin, and Trump early next year is back in the White House? The only president since Netanyahu became an important figure on the world stage to have an easy relationship with him is Trump – I think it’s fair to say everyone else has found Netanyahu impossible. And there are those in Washington who believe that Bibi’s stubbornness and intransigence over Western demands is – in part – designed to help Trump; a way for the Israeli PM to get back into the former president’s good graces. In his first term, there wasn’t a “tough guy” that Trump didn’t like: Orban, Xi, Putin, Duterte, Erdogan, and of course Kim Jong Un.
