As for Trump, it's clear by the Crimea tweet, the sacking of Flynn and the (prospective) appointment of Harward, that he's running scared and is doing everything in his power to get out of the hole he's dug for himself. There's no way of knowing whether he'll be allowed to carry on as before or if he'll be forced to throw other allies, like Bannon or Conway, under the bus. I would expect the purge to continue and to eventually include Trump himself. But that's just a guess.

The hope that Trump would bring an element of sanity to US foreign policy has now been extinguished. The so called "Trump Revolution" has fizzled out before it ever began.

In contrast, the military buildup along Russia's western flank continues apace.
