Which country will our new pal Putin invade first ?

Physically or in cyberwarfare? I don't believe his army is very strong and his country is in the middle of a recession but his intelligence seems to outwit the best of them. He is a coward. A devious demented coward who has made friends with an arrogant small minded man in the west.

He not only has a patsy in the White House but also Rex Tillerson - as Secretary of State - a man Putin has honored with the Order of Friendship (gag).

@peachykeen: That's exactly what I'm saying. Would he jeopardise the half trillion dollar deal that Exxon is likely to resurrect now with Rosneft in the face of a little Russian aggression ? I don't think so , and I don't think Mr.Putin does either.

But remember (for what it is worth) that the position of Secretary of State needs the approval of the Senate (which currently has a Republican majority). John McCain (senior Senator) is not a fan of Putin or Trump. Tillerson may be rejected? However, Trump is showing that his loyalties are where the money is. Your point is well taken.

If he's incredibly stupid? One or all of the Baltic states.

@pezzza: Ah, okay, as long as it's clear that Obama was a responsible president who maintained and strengthened U.S. international commitments and security. Trump is definitely a major threat to world stability and he seems dead set on giving Russia a free hand in Europe and the Middle East and letting China be the principal power in the Asia-Pacific region. My only clarification then is that we haven't given Putin an invitation-- yet.

@ProxyFlex: Obama was a statesman , and a pretty shrewd one. Now we are going to have an impetuous , petty and vindictive child in the White House , who is causing havoc even before he takes office. Serious conflict is just around the corner.

@pezzza: Very true. The US is ripe for the worst domestic and foreign crises since the 1970s, and possibly the 1930s, and we have to hope this know-nothing demagogue doesn't cause more damage than he's already bound to do. I wait with eager, yet anxious, expectation for someone to be indispensably ready to inherit and lead us out of his mess in four years.

Depends, if someone in one of the countries pissed him off with a tweet, he'll know how to deal with them.

When two imperialist bullies become like bros instead of haters, is it a good thing or a bad thing?

I think its a mixture of both. But then I am also thinking about whether Aleppo would have happened if Hillary had won. I guess it probably would because the siege had already started. In addition, any US troup intervention could have led to dangerous escalation.

Still, there is an argument that Assad and Putin feel empowered by having Trump in the White House.

May depends on how those talks with Japan go.
