"The worst case is that Putin and Trump are in collusion"
"I don't think the reality is the worst case,
but ..."
"It's not out of the question because [Trump is an international billionaire businessman and Putin wants to squeeze E. Europe and crush NATO]". (It's so clear, how did I not miss this!!! Lol)
"I believe it is likely that he will collude with Putin if elected"
"That quote does not say that I believe Putin and Trump are working together."
So you believe they're not working together now, but will, but maybe they're working together now, but probably not, but yeah definitely, but not likely wink wink.
