I've been gobbling down what a few pundits have had to say/prophecy about the future of Trump and Putin. The common take seems to be that relations may start well but in time a conflict of interest is sure to influence events at which point matters could turn very sour. Had Hilary Clinton being headed for the White House, relations between Putin and herself would have been difficult but would have fallen into the standard current frame of Russian/Western relations and the Status Quo such as it is would likely have endured. However, the much noted volatility of Trump amidst the present world climate might be rather hair raising!
Personally, what would be concerning, is say he decides soon next year to deploy ground troops to Syria, a Humvee goes astray and about half to a dozen of young Americans, male and female, end up surrendering to a large Force of Daiesh. Supposing they end up receiving a typical Daiesh welcome for their enemies, with extra perverse Brutality and their bodies are later found impaled on meat hooks. I can see his and other world Security advisers and experts having their work cut out for themselves trying to convince him that a Tactical Nuclear Strike on the largest concentration of Daiesh that intelligence can pin point is not a good idea?
