Whilst the world should respect the democratic decision of the voting American public, they don't have to like it. Polite congratulations are just that. It won't be too long before this result is proven to have been the wrong one. Lets see how long it takes Putin, no doubt rubbing his hands with glee inbetween glasses of celebratory champagne, to invade Ukraine, and to exercise his right to further expand his "empire". If you thought China was flexing its muscles now both militarily and with trade, watch them go now! To all those commentators now berating others who fear this sad turn of events to "...accept the umpires decision", I hope you'll do the same when everything comes back to "bite you on your bum"!!!
