Putin desperately wants/needs Canada, Greenland, Iceland and Alaska for Russia's northern trade ship passage route. And Putin sees his lap poodle Trump as a way to get them.......That Northern passage would cut tens of thousands of miles off current & established ocean trade routes. With the amount of melting arctic ice, Putin is already building massive, Heavy Duty Nuclear powered ice breakers.......

There is also an un-fathomable amount of oil and natural resources in those vast territorial expanses, and under the ocean floor, all for Russia's taking with overwhelming help from Trump..........

And the Republicans and Trump are increasingly succeeding at moving EPSTEIN to the back pages...........an exposing of the President, and many high ranking Republican Politicians, and Republican Oligarchs, exposed as organized child rapists could easily end the Republican Party.....
