I suspect Russia will be put back on the list of autocratic powers that need to be contained, if possible without war. With the US having been reminded that crisis war is a bad thing, that putting boots on the ground is a bad idea, I do not anticipate a big conflict in the near future. Short term I see a bit more containment. The traditional alliances held by a bunch of presidents of both parties will be restored. Lately, China has been seeing US containment the most in the form of aircraft and ships going where they aren't wanted. I see that as likely to continue on similar lines.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
