1. Depends if he plunges the nation into chaos or not.

If not, and we come together to rally and boot his ass out of office, he'll be rather disappointed as his scheme has failed.

If Trump consolidates power and then uses that power to push policies that favor Russia, he'll be happy.

If all hell breaks lose and the US is divided and weakened, it inures to Putin's benefit, and he'll be happy.

So two outcomes are favorable (irrespective of their likelihood), and one is not.

7. That's what's driving Putin

Along with Make Russia Great Again. He had a real bad time when Gorbachev rolled over to Reagin.
He is probably laughing his ass off at what he accomplished. Fuck up the USA with out spending too much capital or firing a shot... Very "Art of War" of him...

8. Sanctions got a big "nyet" yesterday...another morsel of bad news for DFT yesterday!

Senator Mike Crapo, the panel's Republican chairman, said reducing sanctions could encourage Moscow to continue aggressive actions, three years after it annexed Ukraine's Crimea region.

Senator Sherrod Brown, the ranking Democrat, said the panel should look at increasing sanctions.

"Russia remains a hostile, recalcitrant power, deploying its military, cyber-enabled information espionage activities and economic tactics to harm the United States and drive a wedge between it and its allies," Crapo said.
