Is The Kremlin Worried That President Trump May Be Ousted Or Killed?

WNU Editor: These concerns of a President Trump assassination or ouster have been raised in a recent Foreign Policy post .... Is The Kremlin Starting To Worry About President Trump.

The money quote is the following ....

What the Kremlin fears most today is that Trump may be ousted or even killed. His ouster, Kremlin insiders argue, is bound to unleash a virulent and bipartisan anti-Russian campaign in Washington. Oddly, therefore, Putin has become a hostage to Trump’s survival and success. This has seriously restricted Russia’s geopolitical options. The Kremlin is perfectly aware that Democrats want to use Russia to discredit and possibly impeach Trump while Republican elites want to use Russia to deflate and discipline Trump.

What's my take .... the Kremlin is definitely concerned, and they are not liking what they see as those who favour a more friendlier relationship with Russia .... like former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn .... are being ousted. In regards to the safety of President Trump .... I  mentioned in the comment trend a month ago that President Trump better upgrade/increase his security detail (the link is here) .... on reflection .... he better triple it. President Trump has signalled that he wants to change the status quo, and as a result many people are becoming nervous .... correction .... very nervous.
