Vlad the Inhaler

I don't know Putin but I wonder if he's licking his lips at the thought of dealing with Trump. Putin knows that Donald has never faced real competition. They are both highly vulnerable to criticism on ethical grounds so they will be less likely to attack one another, an interpersonal version of mutually assured destruction. What a little club they will have. 

Only Trump's unpredictability and recklessness can even things up with Putin tactically, if they have a spat. It may not work because Putin is a badass and has probably never faked anything and inhaled everything, using deceit as necessary. I'm sure he's done real dirty work including stuff Trump, a little rich kid and mama's boy, can hardly imagine.
