I don’t think it makes any difference in Russia relations with whom Trump appoints. Facts on the Ukraine ground, which Russia is in the drivers seat, are what matters.

I was struck by Mearsheimer’s description of Trump being in an “iron cage” - quite an extreme image to convey that Trump has very little room to manoeuver in dealing with the various foreign policy debacles he has claimed he wants to solve. Oh boy…is the cage created by Trump himself or was he put there by his sworn enemies? I get that the Prof feels T’s cabinet choices have more than contributed to his predicament - but somehow an iron cage denotes something more sinister afoot. On verra bien…we shall see.
