The rest of the world breathes a sigh of relief.

We kinda have a lot riding on the US remaining a relatively incorrupt democratic superpower.

Putin is very obviously angling to start a world war with the US as a useful-idiot ally if trump gets even a day in office again.

Putin doesn’t want a world war, he is more interested in having the west just roll over and letting him retake the former countries of the Soviet Union

Of course, but that pretty much can only result in a world war

Do you really think he stops once the former Soviet countries are under his control?

If Trump gets elected, the modern world of relative peace ends and we’re thrown into chaos and suffering with possibly no easy way back to stability.

Oh I agree with you, I just don’t think that a world war is what Putin wants.
