I think a lot of similarities to the period; dangerous interregnum. OTOH, this assassination isn't like that of the archduke.

My concern is what I alluded to in a tweet: Russia exploiting this and Trump's attitudes to try to harm NATO.

I'm not seeing this event as a catalyst for that. Lots of things to worry about broadly, I agree.

Definitely a destabilized interregnum type-period in general. I worry all the time. :-(
