If the oligarch tech-bros have convinced trump that he can occupy and "run" a foreign country using nothing more than drones and AI - no hundreds of thousands of boots on the ground soon to return home in flag-draped coffins - then boy is he in for a sorry surprise.

A large white dog, perhaps a Samoyed, is buried in the snow up to his ears, obviously looking for something.. or just having fun digging, because that's what dogs do... The sun rises across the tops of the evergreen trees and the light glistens on the snow's surface. A cabin can be seen in the distance, the roof covered in thick snow.
