Russia has no illusion that a shuffle of personalities in the White
House will reverse US policy and cede the former Soviet sphere to it.
The United States will still be compelled to keep a check on Russia's
moves in Europe just as Moscow will maintain its levers across several
theaters, from cybersecurity to arms control to proxy wars in the Middle
East. Though Trump's administration may change the tone of the
conversation and broach the topic of tactical concessions, Russia will
still be driven by an unrelenting distrust of Western intentions that
will keep defenses up on both sides. Nonetheless, the very notion of a
private bargain developing between Washington and Moscow will inject
uncertainty into long-standing collective security arrangements as the
European Continent is undergoing another Machiavellian moment in history
where the assertion of state interests is breaking the bonds of its
flawed union.''
