I think in terms of time compression and basic survival it would be significantly more difficult under Hillary than under Trump. I don't see war with Russia as certain with Trump and I do with Hillary, which I think the latter is the only option the Establishment will let her run with. The only area I have a major problem with Russia over is Ukraine - annexing Crimea and invading the East. But as things have stagnated there, mostly because of Syria, Obama & the EU always raising stinks, oil & oil pipeline wars (a purely Euro affair)...I think it would be easy for Trump to approach Putin and be honest and say "Hey, I don't like what's going on in Ukraine, I think what you've done in that region is wrong and stupid, and it is pissing the Euro's off like nothing else...but as long as things do not escalate there I am willing to put a hold on that end of the table...we have a bigger issue with batshyt muzzies and we should be working together to wipe those clowns out wherever they pop up and I say we do that, it was impossible under Obama and it would have been impossible under Hillary...let's get this done and then move on, OK?"...I'd be fine with that. But Hillary will be told what to do, and she'll do it.
And if the Establishment thinks pulling the plug on the economic kabuki, then well, that means certain thresholds have been met: 1) The Elite have sucked all they can from serfs and there is simply nothing left to feed on (I think this is close to being true, but not quite there yet...there are systemic levers left to pull all the way and I think they intend to suck to the very bitter end) 2) The Elite have their servant cadre lined up and ready to go (military, LEO's, doc's, nurses, all of the 'gist's, everybody needed to keep a protected population fed, cared for and looked after...this is a dicier one to know the status of...but big chunks of experts in these fields pulling a Kaiser Sose in a short period of time might be a clue) and 3) physical assets have been acquired and set aside and prepped for lodging (land, buidlings, underground bunkers, comm's, generators...outside of those Scientologists and their compound...and the government bunkers known about...another one kind a hard to nail down...but by inference it is also perhaps the first item on their list and should be considered "done").
So hey, war with Russia that could go scary hot any time (and still likely to cause lots o shat back here) or go apeshat here. I'll still take the latter...
