Lay's too thick for me. So it has been either Pringles or Chachos.

Tostitos now has a new habanero salsa. And it's the most delicious salsa ever. And when it comes to chips, Real men eat them with the hottest salsa ever. Real Men only cry with a mouth full of habanero pepper. :(:mad::D

Trump will make things better with Putin, and this present craziness in Europe will ramp down!

We hope peace for the world for sure. But I am afraid you are wishful thinking about this one. Not saying that Trump will not try. But Putin cannot back off from Crimea.

Crimea might have been the "craziness in Europe" three years ago. Not anymore today, IMO.

I think the American public's attitude toward military adventurism has changed quite a bit since then.

It is a simple matter to sell the American people on a war with China. Recall that the American people just elected Trump in part due to anti-China sentiment bundled up in concerns about globalisation. In the narrative of which many Americans approved of, it is China that has been the chief beneficiary of trade deals in which Americans have been the losers. China has prospered while America has decayed because prior US leaders "sold out" to narrow corporate interests, and Trump promises to change all that, to make America great again. It is a simple matter to extend the antipathy that already exists in the United States towards China to overtly militaristic/nationalistic matters. Anyone who imagines that the American public is a serious obstacle to war with China (or anyone else for that matter) is fooling themselves.

Solarz made a good comment. Inasmuch as many are furious with the insensitive and careless comments/remarks made by Trump & his Team, I believe we should not generalise that all Americans think/act like them. The popular votes (3 million) in the recent US Election did not go to Trump, although he won the Electoral College Votes. It's a system peculiar to the US, not easy to understand by others. Anyway, China, Asia, US, EU and all countries have to trade with each other for internal and external growth. The markets must always be opened, and like Security issues, we should carefully scrutinise Trump's Administration actions after his inauguration (20 January 2017). China, US and many countries in the world are members of the WTO & they should be sensible and forthright in their dealings and future negotiations. Quoting the Wise Chinese philosopher Li Gang "If you don't understand tact, speak rudely, interact with people without manners, and behave inappropriately; you will LOSE other people's friendship and FAIL in whatever mission you attempt". Good lesson for the impending Trump Administration.
