The Eye of Paranoia

Imagine if Donald Trump follows through with his promises. He bans Muslims, deports millions of them, and helps set Baitul Muqaddis as the new capital of Israel.

Russia courts the Shiite Muslims.

France and later Germany join the right-wing club with UK and US as new Governments are voted in.
