This will hardly happen with HRC and her ties to the current "allies" in the region. Getting millions of dollars from many of the totalitarian islamofascist juntas in the region is proven to go far with her.

The evidence speaks otherwise, apart from the arrogant rhetoric towards Russia that's been a trademark of White House for the past 8 years, there's at least two cases where the current majorly overstepped the line towards Russia.
Being
1) supporting a coup in Ukraine and profiting of it (a country where Russia had their black sea naval base and that was bound not to ever become a part of NATO). This caused reaction.
2) supporting an armed coup in Syria and profiting of it (a country where Russia has vested interests and a military base). This caused reaction.
So I doubt she would intend to do it but when it comes to pushing the buttons there's a proven track record of doing so. In any case it can be expected that US under her rule will be deemed a completely untrustworthy partner from the Russian POV.
