In 2020 are we going to become a satellite state of Russia? We will, if Trump and Putin get their way. Putin's bots and trolls are cocked and loaded. The games are on. We may not know exactly how the future will play out, but we could look at the planetary energies that will be in play on election day. Which energies are strong and which ones are waning?
