A thought experiment.
You are a top adviser to Putin, your recommendation to support would be Mr Trump or Mrs Clinton?
What do you see as best for Mother Russia?

Are you trolling for Soros and the DNC?
What do you see as best for Mother Clinton?

A very interesting and challenging question for analysis, let's have a go at it.
First, you stipulate that I am the advisor to Putin and what would I advise?
I would unequivocally advise Putin to take the steps necessary to get Donald Trump elected President of the United States, and keep those actions secret, if necessary.
The reason is simple, Clinton (along with most DemoRats) is perfectly willing to unnecessarily provoke a major war involving the United States and Russia, in order to acquire and remain in power, and that war would be bad for Russia. My advice hinges on the assumption that Putin is motivated by the best interests of White Russian and Slavic peoples, and his desire to increase his personal wealth is secondary to that primary goal, and the belief that Putin could gain advancement for the standard and quality of living for White Slavs AND increase his personal wealth with Trump as President considerably more than Clinton as President without the risk of unnecessary warfare. Remember this is argued toward Putin's point of view, and I do not know if Putin's concern for Russians and Slavs is genuine.
At this point, I would point out that if Putin's only wish is wealth and power, he could get rich like Soros by getting on the Clinton gravy train and collecting US funds by selling out his own people to progressive leftist Homo Politically Correct policy.
Now let's refine the question a bit, and eliminate the advisor to Putin, as the advisor would not make the final decision on policy, that would be Putin, so let's examine the policy maker himself rather than an advisor.
What do you think Putin wants for Russians and Slavs? I do not believe that Putin cares much for Americans or Western Europeans, but that is not his job, nor does he propose that he is other than an advocate for Russians and Slavs.
