Trump's foreign policy will be "predictably unpredictable" and he'll try to reduce the size of the federal government. But it seems certain that big spending on maintaining US military dominance will continue.

At the moment it appears that Russia doesn't want escalation but feels that it would have to respond. It would be good to have options in case it does. And options that don't lead to further escalation. 4/4
It might be prepared to escalate indeed, especially if the West goes significantly beyond the current relatively limited strikes. Of course, nobody, including Moscow, knows what "significantly" means in this context. 3/
Moscow seems to have interpreted the authorization as a signal of the West's willingness to involve itself more deeply and directly in the war. Oreshnik is a signal that Russia is prepared to escalate by taking the conflict to NATO territory in response. 2/
