Russia has certainly put its bootprint over the Baltic, a powerful means of reasserting its influence in the region.<br /><br />An interesting take on the dangerous future of a Trump-Putin detente can be found in Foreign Policy: http://foreignpolicy.com/2016/11/21/get-ready-for-the-most-violent-detente-ever/The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-40079012264771879232016-11-22T14:55:24.034-08:002016-11-22T14:55:24.034-08:00John Cleese summed it up well: "It looks as t...<a href="https://twitter.com/JohnCleese/status/799505503353180160" rel="nofollow">John Cleese</a> summed it up well: "It looks as though Trump is assembling the crew for a pirate ship."<br /><br />CapAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-35824812730666580462016-11-22T14:48:22.836-08:002016-11-22T14:48:22.836-08:001:23 PM Anyong.....How dare you compare whores to ...1:23 PM Anyong.....How dare you compare whores to that man.
