Try the de-caffeinated brands first, then maybe something stronger from the liquor cabinet.
Putin has been playing master chess for a lot longer than Obama's years of public service and it shows. You can't bring your checkers game to the room and be taken seriously. No more 'Bugs Bunny' red lines drawn in the sand, "I dare you to cross this line. No. This line..."
As far as any cordial relationship between Trump and Putin go - that's business. Hopefully in the next administration there are more win/win or win/lose propositions than the majority of lose/win gamesmanship Putin has played against Obama.
Having had a part and player in the strategic intelligence and war fighting strategy during the first Cold War I can tell you that I too have little faith in the modern day equivalent of our intelligence community from the DNI, DIA to the DCIA. Same goes for the current atmosphere of the DOJ and FBI. There is no trust at the highest levels of doing the right thing when the right thing is hard. I think and I hope I'm right that in the next year or two America can lead the world again in making the right hard decisions that foster respect and integrity in world affairs.
As far as Russia meddling in our political elections that's a time honored game of cat and mouse. Just ask Ted Kennedy. As it appears this time wouldn't have been an issue either if Clinton had been elected as they thought would happen.
