which many countries ?


He's still President Elect till Jan 20 when he takes oath of office, for now all Trump related news should go in the US elections thread. Once he's in office we'll make a new thread to discuss his Presidency, hopefully a fairly titled one where we can discuss all the good and the bad.

what say, @Technogaianist ?

Iran and Russia and China..

I fear that the Iran nuclear deal is going to get so 'tough on Iran' that a regime-change-war against Iran becomes a real possibility..

pfff, i gotta say this now already : i wish Hillary had won the elections.

President Trump is turning quickly into the "best" headache deliverer the world has ever seen.

You know the countries. Trump is also going to be on a collision course with traditional allies except from let's say India.



You can kiss goodbye to the Iranian nuke deal.

I don't think he'll do anything silly with China, hopefully a rapprochement with Russia, which is good news for the world. I'd love to see him dump the saudis but they're almost seemingly inextricably linked together by the petrodollar trade. He talks about energy independence for the US a lot but I'm not sure how quickly or if that is even possible at all. Apart from some turbulence with the pro Syrian "rebel" gulfies and maybe Turkey, should be smooth sailing.

What countries in specific were you talking about ?

LOL There isn't going to much of smooth sailing. Iran is going to be a full scale conflict. Middle East is going to be a complete mess. Trump claims to be an isolationist, but his team has a history of interference. Rapprochement with Russia remains to be seen because Trump's Russia policy conflicts with the rest in the US. The Americans have been bred to hate Communism. You can't change that thinking in one day. Trump has a lot of convincing to do and that won't be easy. The establishment and status quo don't only exist in the political sphere. They exist everywhere from the bureaucracy to other important institutes. Obama has a left a legacy which inspires many. It won't be easy for Trump to break this nexus.
