Since the Obama administration did its best to reignite the costly and bloody cold war with the full support from the broadcast media President Trump may have a difficult time putting out all of the brush fires that were set. Today in Fairbanks Sect. of State Tillerson will speak to the Arctic Council about the prospects for keeping the conflict from increasing in the summer fire season.
In 1989 Exxon sacrificed one of its crude super-tankers; the Exxon Valdez, on the rocks of Bligh Reef Alaska to spill millions of gallons of oil in order to let the Soviet Union know that a hot war would be bloody business damaging to the ecosphere of critical, sensitive habitat. The U.S. Navy's Admiral Sanchez-in charge of the Pacific Fleet, had asked for free oil (50,000 barrels) from Alaska Governor Cowper (pronounced barrel maker) who turned him down. The oil spill seemed like pay back from the Federal Government showing who's boss. With the oil spill horrifying the Soviets they choose to withdraw their forces from East Germany retreating them to Moscow and its plentiful vodka and cute women.
The Cold War did not re-start during the Clinton era. President Clinton was business setting the foundation for a future cold war reignition by getting a drunk Boris Yeltsin who ran about the White House grounds in his underpants while drunk to agree to let Ukraine become a future vassal province of Wall Street and remain the new commonwealth or rather common poverty of clinging Russian states S.I.S. Wisely he appointed Vladimir Putin as his political heir before, sadly, dying.
President Putin helped beat back Moslem terrorism but was isolated with harsh sanction by the Obama administration for not being an accomplice of the lost of the Russian heartland (historically speaking) to Wall Street and the Footsie. Neither did he support the Obama initiative to spread chaos and terrorism throughout Europe and the world through fomenting civil war in Syria and supplying guns, money and advisers to build up a Sunni Caliphate-friendly new Syrian proto-empire piece.
President Obama did get towed behind a billionaire's sky boat and fly in the air on a kite after leaving office. Yet while still in office President Putin ascended to the challenging Russian skies to
rescue a lost flock of endangered craines through a dark and stormy night lead some craines over a McDonald's restaurant and their misguiding golden arches to a safe landing in a pond behind a wall Mart.
President Trump may find some slim chance of putting out cold war fires from his old infrastructure fire tower this year although winter winds can make the dark winter nights bone-chillingly cold politically speaking. The U.S. broadcast media can clone public opinion in listeners to include a substantial portion of the society; even program their word lexicon and program them to hate an individual or a nation. They program a substantial percent of what people say.
Russia has turned toward becoming a bit of a Christian nation once more. President Putin has the capacity to keep out some of the false sects and separate the wheat from the chaff. That's a tough and responsible task.
The Orthodox Church may not be perfect however it has not become apostate either. In the cold of winter the pagan spirit can return to northerners. We see that sentiment in Lead Zepplin's Immigrant Song. Southerners are thus always tasked to keeping an eye on the threat to the disruption of their evolution to a more queer, peaceful world they wish to butch upon indignant nations. And Christians have a challenging task of keeping a semblance of Orthodoxy amongst clergy committed to prosperity and power.
