Vladimir Putin isn't ready to recognize Joe Biden as the next president, says relations between Mosc

33. Oh, I don't know

I think Putin got more than his money's worth from Trump, but I think the idiot-in-chief has outlived his usefulness for the Russian. Vlad wanted our country in total disarray, our democracy fractured, and our standing in the world undermined. I think Trump exceeded Putin's initial expectations and now Biden is left to put all the pieces back together, which in Putin's mind probably makes him a weakened president.

As for Trump losing, I don't think Putin is too upset. His lapdog was getting out of control and could have been a real threat to the entire planet. Putin wanted chaos and disruption, but not total annihilation. Meanwhile, apparently he has a whole lot of republican politicians beholden to him. So the mischief and discord can continue, but minus the dangerous instability of a seriously disturbed president.

No, I think Putin is just fine with how things turned out and is probably plotting his next manipulative venture here or elsewhere throughout the world.
