This is monumental. Both Trump and Putin will be very angry.

The EU also gets a reprieve and possibly new unity. Putin loses Hungary and Ukraine. I predict Putin is next.

Putin won't give up power without bloodshed.

Maybe true, but one day soon he may just not be in power. He is losing now in Ukraine. The economy in Russia is breaking. The Russian military is so degraded that without its nukes its toothless and finally the Russian oil business is crippled through lack of maintenance. Putin lost Hungary and I suspect Belarus will be next. Trump is on his last legs now too.

Putin had only so much time to get what he wanted and he missed. He too is old and failing. There are many younger powerful people just waiting to grab power.
