respectfully, I think genocidal* and nuclear-armed demagogues like Putin are a greater threat to international security
while a second Trump administration could potentially change this depending on the extent to which the US system of checks and balances would perform as intended, I don't think Trump has the capacity to focus on one thing long enough to emulate Putin's level of acting as a global destabilizing force
besides, Trump only cares about protecting his own interests
Putin wants to restore an empire

* Russia's war against ukraine has definitively genocidal goals, aiming to eliminate the Ukrainian people
under the United Nations convention, genocide includes acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial, or religious group
Putin’s stated goal of ‘de-Ukrainization’ and actions like targeting civilian populations, forced deportations, and attempts to erase Ukrainian identity through cultural suppression and violence clearly fit this definition 1 reply
