If you think things can't get much worse, then wait for the new Russian military push coming: probably on the Ukraine.
Why is this? Because the major players are making drastic moves, that is, Putin is pushing Trump's buttons:
US withdrawal from Syria
Mattis 'resignation'
US sanctions lifted on Russian military base in Argentina
US military withdrawal plans from Afghanistan underway.
All within 3 days.
There will be no Silent Night sung in the trenches by opposing sides this Christmas (but only in the Kremlin).
