With Trump about to gain control over our foreign policy, Putin will give him a lesson in power politics. 

I see Putin first convincing Trump to lift the economic embargo allowing Putin to re-establish some lucrative trade to fatten the Russian coffers. Simultaneously taking sham steps in the direction of lessening tension with NATO members, thereby convincing Trump that Trump's view of NATO being obsolete is indeed correct.

This accomplished to one degree or another, its a tossup whether Putin will make his move on Ukraine or the Baltic states first. But move he will.

You and I both know that Putin wants to restore Russia's sphere of influence back to the days of the USSR. 

 Putin will play Trump like a violin.
