As the old joke goes - What do you call a bear with a machine gun? Sir.
The question isn't whether we do what Russia wants, its whether we surrender quietly or take a massive beating first. I've no wish to see London under Russian occupation but if Putin decides to march across Europe he would smash NATO and EU forces and the only alternative is a scorched earth policy of launching Nukes and seeing the country destroyed rather than captured. I doubt Alaska would do any better either.
Besides, the elite will never allow trump to have his own policies as president any more than they will allow Britain to actually leave the E.U. Either Trump agrees to be a sock puppet or he will be prevented from taking office. If you aren't bought and paid for you don't get in. http://conservativedailypost.com/6-rep ... wiki-leak/
To quote Billy Connolly (A Scottish Comedian) “The desire to be a politician should bar you for life from ever becoming one.”
So where do you get politicians from? The answer is make it community service. It punishes the criminals and they can't be any worse than the current people in charge.
