with trump's business approach, both the above can happen. it's ok if you get rich as long as I get rich too. both sides don't have to lose in business, and if one side does lose, that's not good long term, as you may need that help later on.

i see trump taking a much different approach to russia than we have taken in the last 60+ years. cold war is over. let's work together to get rid of killing muslims. let's both sell our oil/gas/coal and shut off the oil sheikhs. win, win, win.
Very good analysis. I think (and hope) you're right. At first blush, it seems that Trump and Putin like each other and, moreover, they respect each other. If two leaders can get along, then something good can come of it.
