As you can guess, I was quite worried about Trump's consistency in praising Putin, because that was probably the only consistent line in his entire campaign, but we know this consistency could be short-lived, and I wouldn't make any predictions about U.S. foreign policy before we see who is nominated to be Secretary of State. Most of the names on the list are known for their quite hard stand against Russia, such as Ambassador Bolton, Governor Romney, and Senator Corker. Any of them, or even General Petraeus, will signal that Trump's relations with Putin may not develop the way Putin expected.
But again, with President-elect Trump I would be very cautious in saying anything before we see the nomination announced and then being approved by the Senate. I also see some names on the list that are making me much less comfortable.
