For those of you who have completely fallen in line with the thought that President Trump is the panacea to all our problems, it's advisable that you rethink that stance.  Firstly, there are interests behind the throne that are neither controlled by nor parallel to the interests of the administration.  Secondly, the "transition period" is not over.  It is far from over, and the lines that are developing…both of intra and inter-party dissension domestically…and the "Second Cold War" lines throughout the world…have materialized.  They are beginning to solidify, and they are becoming fortified.

Yes, it was mentioned last year that the U.S. was sending troops to Poland and the Baltic States as a "show of support and encouragement."  It was mentioned last year, but it is happening now.
