US/Russia relations in the Trump era
Lot of discussion today on NPR about the future and evolution of Russian and American relations with this new dude as president. Putin and the state run Russian media seem to think we averted disaster:
Vladimir Putin’s top aides say a Hillary Clinton victory WOULD have caused World War III – adding Donald Trump’s win saved the planet from nuclear apocalypse Maybe now together we can fix Syria, and squash terrorism. But what about Ukraine? Is this a greenlight for a new Russian empire? Maybe the Trump will hand off that issue to Europe. |

Pfft, Ukraine is toast. The Baltics will be alright, unless Trump deep-sixes NATO in which case anything is on the table.

Well if a Putin top aide said it, it must be true. They would not lie to us about that.

I think the world should be praying Trump has a strong team of forthright advisers and not simply 'yes men (and women)'.

Not only does he need a strong team of smart advisors, he needs to listen to them also.

I am really curious how a non-experienced non-politician president will match a pretty darn experienced very-much-so-politician president. Would not look good for the PR dept if Donald turned out to be Putin's favourite chew toy. Business meetings are one thing, international heavy weight politics is a different game.
