Putin is playing Trump like a cheap fiddle. Now is the perfect time for the Russians to push their foreign policy agenda. The national security advisor has resigned in disgrace. The national security council is in disarray and being actively undermined from within the White House. There are multiple competing power centers within the Administration with overlapping and inconsistent portfolios and spheres of influence. No one really knows who has the President's ear on a given issue at any time. The Republican party, whose foreign policy for 50 years was best summarized as "Let's nuke the Russians like yesterday," has mostly bought Trump's line about how his fantasy Molotov-Von Ribbentrop pact with Putin against ISIS and radical Islam means Russia is no longer an adversary. You couldn't create better conditions for undermining and dismantling America's interests and accomplishments on the world stage if you tried.
