      1. While in the short run Trump will push for friendlier relations with Russia, it's easy to imagine it backfiring leading to new tensions.

      2. Remember, both George W. Bush & Obama came to office hoping to work with Putin, but found Russian & American interests clashing.

      3. What Trump will have to deal with (as Cold War presidents did as well) is a considerable body of domestic Russophobia, in both parties.

      4. Talk of Trump as "Putin's Puppet" underestimate possibility that Putin could push his luck & Trump could turn against him.

      5. As @noahmccormack it would be good to have a middle ground policy that avoids Trump's pro-Putin stance & calls for new Cold War.

          Agreed. The shortsightedness of so many powerful people reminds me of Europe before 1914.

          But if we are *already* in a Cold War with them, no need to deny it.

          More likely Ptn success (globe divided up under sympathetic nationalist govs) will backfire - Eg US corporates eat R from inside

          You're assuming Trump wants to work for America's interests. W and Obama were stymied bc they ultimately, well, put America first

          I'd argue that both of them need each other as a common enemy, it's good for both economies at home. Cold or otherwise war = jobs.
