I'm glad we still have friends in the Republican-controlled Senate like John McCain who still believe in the old alliances.  Putin recently trashed Canada over our support for Russian sanctions. McCain hasn't been shy to talk tough to Putin while the trash-talking Trump has gone out of his way to give Putin a free pass.  I'm sure the that Putin will continue to bully world to his way of thinking over the next 4 years, either through fixing elections, using veto power at the Security Council to protect his friends in Syria and Iran, or rolling Russian troops and equipment into Ukraine or other neighbouring states.  

Russia and Canada have competing interests in the Arctic.  Arctic resources are worth trillions of dollars.  If there is a fight over Arctic claims, I trust McCain to honour the old alliance with Canada.  Unfortunately for us, I would be inclined to expect Trump to honour his financial alliance with Russia.
