Under shit storm of all of Trump's outrageous actions there is one continuing theme: rapprochement with Russia. The steps include;
de legitimatizing intelligence community and other agencies so he will not be questioned about his support of Russian goals;
alienating allies so that Russia will remain the only "ally" of US;
confirmation as Sos of Tillerson, known to have close relations and business dealings with Russia that were halted due to Obama sanctions;
removal of sanctions against Russia so Russia can make billions off of oil deal with Exxon;
ignoring Russian military expansion in Europe.
His strategy of chaos is working. Don't mistake chaos for either madness or ineptness. It is a necessary step to hollowing out government and social institutions.
