This Band of Brothers.

We've recently been treated to the odd phenomenon of Trump bowing the knee to Putin, and only a week or so earlier he was sucking up to Xi, and now a curious suspicion has entered my head:
 
Given the combined military power of China, Russia, and the USA, could it be that the Big Three are planning to carve up the world between them -- Xi gets South and East Asia, Putin gets Eastern Europe and West Asia, Trump gets Western Europe and South America? Just think: Trump could have all the European historic buildings bulldozed to make way for parking lots, and the Oxbridge universities could become luxury hotels for rich golfers and paedophiles. Such fun.

I think I'm being fanciful, but it would solve Trump's 2028 problem. And maybe there's a shadow puppet master pulling all three strings, the existence of which player has long been forecast by those into dystopian conspiracy theories. Somebody should write a book, don't you think? Only not me because I couldn't be bothered.
