It was never as torrid an affair as many people imagined. The two political thugs were forced to admire each other from afar.
Thank goodness.
But it was an affair. Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin slathered praise all over each other.
While I, like so many others I'm sure, just hoped that the two men would stare into each others eyes, and agree to NOT blow us up.
And of course Trump assured us that if anyone could make a deal with Putin he could, because he knew more about diplomacy than the diplomats. Or was it the generals?
But sadly, and as usual, he was wrong.
And now this bully bromance could end really badly. Not with a whimper, but a bang or a BOOM.
It's really good to know that the U.S. nuclear commander says he would resist an illegal order from Donald Trump.
The US armed forces could refuse an order from the President to launch a nuclear strike if is deemed illegal, the country's top defence officer has said.
Air Force General John Hyten, commander of US Strategic Command, said he would reject any order from Donald Trump or any other president if it was not lawful.
And not just because it's reassuring that Trump might not be able to kill us all by hitting the wrong button.
The scariest thing about Donald Trump's government by Twitter is the way his mind wanders, from the important to the trivial. Or from one button to another.
One moment he's pressuring Obama to veto an anti-settlement resolution at the United Nations.
The next moment he's humiliating Newt Gingrich.
And then out of the blue he raises the spectre of nuclear war.
