It's Trump Trump Trump. When John K Kennedy entered the White House there was hope and vision, when Barack Obama won the presidency there was a feeling of excitement and an expectation of change, when Trump sits down in the Oval Office, the world will be thinking: "Oh my God, now what!!" It's totally a new era. Nothing can be taken for granted. Trump wants to be the Power Man. Everyone says Putin is chuckling with joy but I wonder. Even he must be thinking: "Can I risk sneaking into the Baltics and hope he doesn't care, or perhaps I better wait and see." In that sense, the unpredictability of Trump might act as a deterrent, at least to start with. Let's hope so. But Trump might turn to his European "allies" and say: "Right, this one is down to you, I'm too busy building roads, bridges and Trump legacy monuments to go off on another war. Your turn!"
Plenty more thoughts on Trumpism over the next few weeks.
