I wonder if Putin is tuned in or however they do it in Moscow. Is he nervous or just steamed? I

[monmouth4]

hope he is annoyed, his great plans except for those dang sanctions, are falling apart..

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. Neither. He's managed to fuck up our democracy

just by getting Trump installed and promulgating "fake news."

[Pachamama]

3. +1000

Vlad is smiling....

His plan has worked splendidly....

[blueinredohio]

2. Hopefully he will punish Trump for this like letting the pee tape go public

[Yonnie3]

4. I'm sure he will console himself with the knowledge of the turmoil in the USA he helped create.

[PRETZEL]

5. Collateral damage

nothing more, nothing less

[Kentonio]

6. He's managed to do devastating damage to US democracy

Peel the UK away from the EU, and now damaged the linked between the US and the UK.

I'd imagine Putin is very happy right now.

[Irish_Dem]

10. Exactly. All the chaos makes Putin happy. nt

[Takket]

7. Putin is laughing his ass off

He wanted chaos and a weaker USA. and he is getting it

[dalton99a]

8. He's already succeeded beyond his wildest dreams - all the chaos and destruction

at minimum cost, and without firing a shot

[0rganism]

9. i bet he's having a jovial drink and laughing

at this point, his methodical trashing of the USA is probably better served by destroying the Stupid Orange Puppet's regime so Russia can install a competent despot to rule over us. or not -- maybe he thinks/feels he's sown enough chaos and division for the moment.

[bdamomma]

11. Mr Putin

is celebrating in all of his wildest dreams he has neutralized the US with a sick ass old man, who has dreams of being a wanna be dictator. This makes me do this

[Adrahil]

12. Laughing his ass off.

His goal was to sow discord and chaos. Mission accomplished. He played the right for the fools they are.

[ladjf]

13. He mosts definitely will not be shocked by this development. nt

[haele]

14. Putin is laughing - Mission Accomplished.

Russia bought the U.S.A on November 9th of last year as a client state. He's been making his deal with the hedge fund, media, "security" and mineral extraction billionaires since 2011 or so to buy it, easy since his Krew of Russian Mobster Oligarchs run in the same circle they do.

Putin says - Fuck the Future, the People or Science. As long as he's on top, the world can go to shit. Better to reign in Hell, etc...

It's all about the "here and now" - total control, big bucks and lavish lifestyle to Putin, his buddies, and their fellow travelers. They'll be perfectly happy if they ruin the earth on their way out, because those sociopaths believe the world should revolve around them.
