As long as Putin and Exxon get that arctic oil

That's DT's main goal I predict. To lift the sanctions for it.

And as long as that is accomplished DT will have done his job.
Everything else in his pea-sized brain is way far down the list.

Russia. Tillotson's nomination waS THE signal to Putin that Trump would lift sanctions as soon as he could. In the meantime, Trump is just playing with the American people by being divisive, using tweets to put the fear of Trump into corporations, critics and citizens.

So everytime he breaks a norm, such as conflicts of interest, releasing tax forms, not vetting his appointees, appointing people who are totally dependent on him, i.e. they have no career in public service and have no incentive to work for the good of the people.

power generation is available and should be the focus at this point. We cannot have large, remote and vulnerable stations anymore, and the grid needs to be replaced or done away with. It's doable except for that pesky thing called willpower to make it reality for the sake of survival on all levels.

Russia wants the U.S. on their side.

Canada and Northern Europe will be the other side.

U.S. and Russian oligarchs will keep the profits for themselves.

Canada and Northern Europe will largely redistribute profits for climate change mitigation and social programs.

Look at the map:
