Oh yeah, and on day one after the election, where Trump hasn't even taken up office yet: World War III (at least with Russia) averted.

Interestingly, this fulfills a massive what-appeared-to-be-a gap in Xenakis' "Generational Dynamics" theory-- that in the upcoming crisis war, the US and Russia will be allies. His model predicted Trump's victory.

All Putin wanted was a rational actor as US President-- one that he could negotiate with, knowing there they stand: that they have America's best interests at heart, just like he has Russia's best interests at heart. This, versus trying to negotiate with nut bag ideologues like Obozo and Hitlery; it's impossible to negotiate with someone when their motives are largely covert and ulterior.
