  1. Recent developments show that Trump is on the way down. His influence is declining in the US. His hold over Republican legislators is decreasing. The Russian tinkering in American elections is becoming a hotter issue. Putin's view of military power as the prime determinant of national power has blinded him. His policies are isolating Russia economically as well as politically. Their economic isolation will prevent Putin from reaching his goal of the rebirth of the Russian Empire. It is as if Putin sees the world through the lens of Tsarist Russia before WW1. He has elevated the Russian Orthodox Church to again being a partner in controlling the Russian people. His ignorance and misunderstanding of the true sources of power in the modern world will ensure that things end badly for Russia.
