"Vela added that European officials have been quietly sharpening their knives and preparing "brutal countermeasures" against Trump, but are in no rush to implement them because they don't want to give Trump a scapegoat to blame for a deteriorating American economy."

How does one treat a rogue leader who has the most potent nuclear and conventional arsenal in the world? War? Assassination? Assassination of a head of state is an act of war, too. Strengthening his domestic opposition is the method of choice for as long as it has a relevant chance of success, which it still does.

It’s real simple but ugly math.
