I've believed Putin saw this ugly end coming 2 years ago and put out a "hurry up on the deliverables" order a good while back.
Some of the things on Donny's long to-do list from Boss Vlad have been:
* Your campaign manager will be this American I own, Paul Manafort.
* Your National Security Advisor needs to be my man Mike Flynn.
* Your Secretary of State needs to be a guy who can get us our deal with Exxon back for help drilling our Arctic oil.
* Remove Obama's sanctions.
* Give me back our spyshacks in America that Obama took.
* Get me me back into the G-7.
* Recognize Crimea is now Russian territory.
* Deny I had anything to do with 2016.
* If anybody tries to investigate 2016, head it off.
* Help me frame the new Ukraine govt for every freakin evil thing Russia's done recently.
* Get the U.S. military out of Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Africa, Turkey, Poland, and as much out of Germany as you can.
* We're paying bounties for dead American soldiers. Ignore that.
* We're permanently neurologically injuring your State Dept and CIA people abroad by microwaving them in their beds. Ignore that.
* We murder our own people whenever I want, and we murder people in your allies' countries frequently. Ignore all that.
* Join our worldwide autocrats club... as an apprentice member. I'll sponsor you.
* Help me break up NATO.
* Help me break up the E.U.
* Help me divide Americans, topple American democracy, and break up the U.S.
There's more. That's just a sampler.
Putin's hurry-it-up orders bore some fruit, but nothing approaching what he'd been hoping.
Trump has tried as hard as a scared poodle can... if that poodle is much dumber than average. Putin realizes he's been ordering an incompetent buffoon to do things that are just beyond him. But as disappointing as bootlicking Little Donny has been, he's the only sock puppet American president Vlad's got. It's not like he could just replace him.
Trump still has to obey Putin, and will need to after he's no longer in office, too. Russian intelligence agencies have all the documentation, and communications including the phone calls, on every dirty ruble Trump's ever laundered for a Russian through one of his grossly overpriced properties. And that's been a lot of dirty rubles. January 21 Putin could hand over just a piece of it and have Trump doing a perp walk within hours.
But 99% of the value to Russia of all those reams of incriminating kompromat disappears at 12:01 on Jan. 20.
Putin may have health issues. Other things on his mind than his collapsing fool in the Oval Office.
Is he presently squeezing some last traitorous juice out of his Agent Orange? If so, what?
Or is he as fatigued of the noisy idiot as we are, and doesn't care about this final month of control over the most powerful squalling manbaby in the world?

Like he proved Obama isn't an American. And just proved he really won the Nov. election. And the torrent of other lies and fantasies that just spew out of him endlessly.
