But it is not on par with the harm he has already done by discrediting the US as an reliable alliance partner, an reliable treaty partner, and upholder of equitable international institution fundamental to a world that is not a free for all. Under Trump collapse of the US as a world leader is nearly as quick and complete as that of the USSR in 1989. So I don’t think the harm of his defection would compared to the harm that can come from the contimued survival of trumpism as a major political force in the US. But Trump defecting to the Russians will end trumpism and their more conspicuously enablers decisively as political forceS in the US.
I personally hope the CIA will ensure his defection is not thwarted, so it will end trumpism here. If his treason is thwarted, his minion will call the attempt “fake news” conceited by the “deep state”. So his treason must succeed. If he reviews at Putin’s side russian tanks parading in the red square next May 1st, it would be but a superficial humiliation for the US that would disguise a profound national catharsis.
It's pretty obvious that you aren't a native speaker of American English. Be that as it may, I'd like to have you help me understand how the collapse of the US as a world leader will be nearly as quick and complete as that of the USSR in 1989.
