I am thinking about this some more and I am thinking maybe Putin is showing even more emotionally. Maybe he thought Trump could help Russia more than Biden and co but maybe the recent events have put that notion in the bin and maybe stakeholders on the Russian side have opposed Trump may have upped the ante against Trump.
Thinking about this some more I think Trump is in big trouble. I said in another post his actions seem too loose. Trust haas been broken before anyway but, as others have put, how could China or Russia put in any trust in anything agreed to with Trump?
I think back to the guy on the Russian side that drove the tanks to Moscow only to be later killed in a plane strike/crash. Was it Putin or was in other enemies in the military?? Who knows, but I get the impression Trump could go in a similar way. China or Russia might not even need to raise a finger. Simply put others in USA might realise or come to the conclusion, ignoring typical political margin deviations, Trump might have to be removed simply to calm the situation down and try and normalise things momentarily to create a pretext for a different footing with other countries.
I really can see China and Russia avoiding USA going forward and it is more a question of how and to what degree, shape and form? Institutions like the UN and what not may simply fall away as mechanisms that are adopted
